Our take on Karma
Karma departs from a routine life simulation by making work, study, shopping, and hacking part of a strange unfolding story. Ordinary money-making activities sit alongside reversed failures, unexplained dreams, and colleagues dying one by one.
What is Karma?
Karma follows a programmer who studies, works, and learns skills while trying to earn money and manage stress.
Studying can unlock work, part-time jobs, items, and hacking abilities. Money comes from regular employment, side jobs, or hacking. Chatting with colleagues and shopping can reduce stress, while items provide entertainment. The protagonist can reverse failures and turn them into successes. The story moves from ordinary routines toward strange dreams and colleagues dying one by one. More secrets are hidden in the game world, and the player is asked to find the truth behind events that suggest something is wrong.
