Garbage Route in dev

A thirteen-stop garbage route where you document what you find at each stop, and what you find is deeply unsettling. The route is alive. Your job is to keep it appeased so someone you love doesn't end up as the next stop.

what it is

You drive the route and you write down what's there. That's the whole job, and it's harder than it sounds, because the route notices whether you're paying attention. Document it and it stays settled. Ignore it and it gets worse, stop by stop, until it starts looking for someone to add.

how it plays

Drive the route. Read each stop and decide what to do with it: write it down, leave it, or step in. Stepping in is a mercy that always costs something, usually carried back to the cab with you. The skill is reading what's actually in front of you, not guessing a puzzle.

why I'm making it

I don't even like horror. I don't watch the movies or read the books. But this one called to me and wouldn't let go, so I'm making it. Make of that what you will.
