LocalDealer

A turn-based street economy game. Buy cheap in one district, sell dear in another, stay ahead of the heat.

  • A trip across town. Costs a shift.
  • Busy, and watched. Sells dear.
  • Where it comes in.

How to use this city

Start with a coat, a loan shark and a phone with three numbers in it.

Local Dealer is the buy-low, sell-high game people have been replaying since 1984, with the feel of Pizza Tycoon (1994): easy to start, and a whole underworld sitting under it.

Runs are short. The city is different every time, so what you learn carries over and what worked last time doesn’t. It asks for nerve, not reflexes.

I’m Andrew Brereton. I’m making it on my own, in Australia. It’s coming to Steam, for Windows and Mac.

  1. Find it cheap.Every district has its own prices, and they move.
  2. Carry it across town.A trip costs a shift. The coat only holds so much.
  3. Sell it dear.Before the news, a rival or the market turns.
  4. Mind the heat.The more you carry, the more it matters who’s looking.
