GUUN

You live in a boring dystopia.

Sure, your Soylent isn’t Soylent Green, but you sleep on a rented a couch that you found through an app. Why? One of countless tech megacorps felt that “the furniture space” needed disrupting. A dystopia – but not quite as exciting as Charlton Heston eating people.

The careers of your grandparents gave way to the “side-hustles” of your parents, and now your generation lives in the uncertain rubble of a thousand apps that promised to make life easier. Deliveries in ten minutes, drones that find you dates, fitness-powered crypto-mining, and more are how you and everyone you know pays the bills.

But now, you’re out of options. Your car’s too old, so no rideshare will have you, and you can only get so many three-star ratings delivering overpriced food to bougie assholes before the app stops sending you jobs.

All that’s left is Guun. On-demand goons for the rich and powerful to kill, kidnap, and steal whatever their heart's desire. All you have to do is accept the terms and services – and put your sanity on the line.

Guun is a fast and loose micro-RPG where the players are cybernetic gig workers, plugging their minds into cloned bodies, and acting as hired goons for the rich and powerful. The game can be picked up and played in a single session – even without any prior knowledge. You can build the scenario, create characters, and learn the system in around fifteen minutes.

The mechanics revolve around drawing playing cards from a standard deck, so that’s all you need to build the job, create the characters, and play the game. The rules are built to be loose to encourage improvisation, creativity, and a slightly hectic atmosphere.

Guun is still in development, but completely playable. Do you have constructive feedback? Email me at: alienationpress@protonmail.com.
