Typical NPC

Typical NPC is a narrative management game about running a shop in a fantasy RPG’s city. You play an exhausted shopkeeper who keeps the city armed while impatient heroes track mud through the door, ask for relics on a budget and leave the counter close to collapse.

Run the shop

Manage your cash, stress, reputation and shop condition across a branching campaign. Customers, emergencies, rival merchants, shady suppliers and difficult financial choices all put pressure on the business. You decide when to bluff, sell honestly, help the city or consider your own future.

A branching story

The campaign features different customer archetypes, reactive dialogue, dark humor and multiple endings. As pressure escalates late in the game, the story follows your efforts to survive the apocalypse as one of the people doing the background work.
