The Dealer

The Dealer is a point-and-click, dialogue-driven game set in Winterfield, a troubled city in a fictional version of the United States amid economic and political collapse and the threat of civil war. You play as a street dealer, selling whatever you can get—from bottle caps to drugs and guns—to strangers. You also make difficult moral choices, avoid police and dangerous customers, pay rent and contend with the worsening political situation.

Game modes

In Story Mode, you have 10 days to earn $10,000 by selling items, avoiding police and paying rent. The Early Access version includes the first four days. Survival Mode challenges you to last as long as possible in an increasingly hostile environment.

Dialogue and choices

The dialogue system combines scripted and unscripted conversations, with a wide range of interactions and potential choices. How you treat customers affects gameplay and the ending, sometimes in unexpected ways.

Characters and items

The game features a mix of procedurally generated and handmade characters, as well as a variety of items with three rarity levels. It also includes dark humor. Multiple endings are planned for the full release.
