Dear Edmund
--Want
Dear Edmund is a gloomy, Victorian game. The country, ruled by a cold and strict party known as the D.A.C (The Dominion of Absolute Control) have placed you in charge of making decisions over a street and its residents.
Your job is to go to work and accept or decline questions from the residents and DAC party officials.
You'll play as a working class man, Edmund, who lives in a house that's falling apart with no money to live a better life. Your wife, Elsie, has left to live with her mother as to escape the dangers of the disease ridden city.
She vowed to return if the street was safe enough for her.. and it's up to you to make this change. But it won't be easy, greed and the possibility of a wealthy lifestyle will tempt you into corruption.
Other than the temptation of wealth or a better street. You have two stats to keep an eye on. The Health of the street, and your reputation from the DAC. The longer you keep a balance between the two, the longer you'll live.
You'll have two pots of money. One, for personal wealth that can be used to purchase upgrades for your home, such as wallpaper, tables, doors, windows and more. The second pot is a budget to improve the conditions of the street. In which you can buy upgrades such as food, rat poisons, coal and other necessary things to keep your street healthy.
Included is a day / night cycle with a weather system to keep things interesting. (Of course, with it being based in a city in England, the rain takes priority most of the time...)
