The thing you need to understand about the world is that it's run by money. Absent normal signifiers of human society, absent any semblance of structure or narrative that makes sense, this is a truth that remains. Promise Mascot Agency is a game that understands this, among other fundamental truths of the world, like how the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb and how an unchallenged incumbent mayor in a town that people mostly leave is a destructive force rivaled only by natural disasters and anonymous internet commenters. At its core, Promise Mascot Agency is a fanged ode to the responsibilities of civic life, to bureaucratic idleness and indulgence, and to the numbers going up at the center of it all. It is brutally funny, brutally mercenary, and brutally good.
