About
Max is an alien janitor who gets handed a free vacation to Earth as a reward for good work, or so his superiors claim. He's not entirely convinced, and neither should you be.
Once he lands, Max runs into Earth's suspiciously friendly locals and their even more suspicious customs, most of which seem to end with him sitting across a poker table from someone who very much wants his clothes off. Whether he ever learns the real reason he was shipped out here is the thread holding the game together.
The core loop runs through strip poker matches where losing isn't just embarrassing, it has consequences that play out afterward. Beating a match now opens up character-specific endings, so the poker table doubles as the game's way of deciding how far things go with each person Max meets.

v0.1 Prototype
- Initial release
- Roadmap:
- Development Roadmap
- Prototype
- The foundation of the game. New ideas, mechanics, and systems are added and tested as much as possible. Things can be incomplete, experimental, or subject to major changes.
- Pre-Alpha
- The game is prepared for the Alpha stage. This means fixing bugs, completing unfinished mechanics, improving existing systems, and making sure everything works together properly.
- Alpha
- The main content-production stage. Events, scenes, character interactions, endings, and content for each playable character will be added at a much faster pace. Mechanics can still be improved or expanded during Alpha, but new content should remain compatible with the evolving game systems.
- Beta
- The game is essentially complete. Development focuses on bug fixing, balancing, optimization, compatibility, and final polishing. No major new content is planned during this stage for the time being.
- Thank you for your patience while the game is still in development.
- Feedback and bug reports are greatly appreciated. Every suggestion helps shape the future of the project.
- Thank you for playing!
