My attempt to ingratiate myself with the mayor went awry when I attacked several people with a fire axe in the Town Hall. From that point, my reputation never recovered. People with guns and bats hounded me in the street. My main quest-giver perished in an explosion I can't say for sure I'm not responsible for. At some point my attempt to create a chicken sandwich outraged the local conservationists? It's all gotten out of hand and everyone hates me. Plan B is to kill the mayor. Wish me luck!
These are my adventures in Streets of Rogue 2's Steam Next Fest demo, a loose assemblage of some of the mechanics that will eventually make up the game's full release that you can give a whirl yourself right now. It's an immersive sim roguelike set in a 2D, procgen open world. Think of it as a kind of Deus Ex meets Dwarf Fortress, but hold your horses. Yes, I know that sounds like the greatest game ever made, but Streets of Rogue 2 is, very forwardly, not done yet.
