Life in Oportunia

Your artist faces poverty, physical ailments, loss of sanity and 66 unique feelings, each with a different effect. Hundreds of cards represent the artist’s psyche and life in the city. You can collect, combine, talk or think about, visit, read and otherwise interact with these cards; your choices produce varied outcomes, new cards and new opportunities for interaction.

Unpleasant feelings can worsen if you do not address them. You contend with frustration, anxiety, anger, guilt, sadness, suicidal thoughts and other issues, as well as habits, addictions and temptations. Life’s challenges can lead to permadeath in several forms, from dying of disease to drinking yourself to death. Afterward, you receive an overview of your life and legacy.

You can turn your suffering into masterpieces or counter it with pleasant feelings such as love, pure delight and peace. You can also seek comfort in the establishments of Bar Avenue, using drink or other soothments to try to drown out bleak thoughts. An iron person mode is available for players who enjoy roguelites.

Endings and legacy

The game has 18 different endings. You can achieve minor victories, or pursue a grand victory by creating a painting that changes the world. As your life unfolds and expands, secrets, ideas and experiences reach you; you can think about and develop them, then turn them into paintings that affect thousands or millions of people and leave a lasting legacy.
