Saved by the Coupon

Saved by the Coupon is about a new professional trying to get through more than twenty days until payday with just over $100 left in the bank. After briefly enjoying what seems like financial freedom, you realize your paycheck is gone and a survival challenge has begun.

Hunt for discounts

You manage your day through a simulated smartphone, using its apps to order food, chat and check your balance. Finding delivery deals is central to making your money last, and scoring a "$0 Order" is a badge of honor for a sharp-eyed coupon hunter. The game follows the shift from splurging to penny-pinching.

Messages and choices

Your family, friends and boss send messages through the phone’s social media apps. Interactions can unlock hidden storylines, bringing either help or more trouble. Your choices affect not only your hunger but also your relationships and future, with multiple endings.

A work-drone’s life

The story follows modern youth’s consumer habits, independent life and relationships.
