An RPG adventure with a mystery that will draw you in… deep!

The mayor has tasked you with restoring power around town, but there's more to this quest than meets the eye. To solve the mystery, you’ll need to fully immerse yourself. That means side quests, looting, exploring, and carefully choosing who to trust.

The decisions you make can lead to 7 possible endings, each with 2 variations depending on your karma. Where will your search take you? Share your ending # in the comments below!

Where to Play

Agency can be played on mobile and non-mobile devices.

Right Here (fastest): You can play Agency directly from your web browser (above). Mobile users may lose saved game data if the browser app is closed completely. 

Emulation (recommended): The game was designed for the Game Boy Color, so you can also download the ROM file below and run it with an emulator app such as mGBA, Sameboy, or Delta. 

Controls

Game Boy	Keyboard	Function
A	Z	Interact; Advance text
B	X	Exit the game menu; Jump (when available)

Remember

Explore! Who knows what you'll find in that cabinet.

Mingle! Everyone in town has plenty to say. Some have tons to say (if you care to listen).

Use the game menu to access items and functions as needed.

Get a clue! If you've pressed the Hint button and still aren't sure what to do next, ask around––someone in town might be able to help.

Notes

This beta version has no sound.

An average run-through might last 2-3 hours (longer if you regularly stop in and visit NPCs, explore, etc.), but small bits of progress can be made in minutes, and you can save your game at any time. 

Your karma level determines the game's ending variation. Each of the seven story conclusions has a "Low Karma" ending (K<100) and a "High Karma" ending (K≥100). 

Future enhancements may include sound, more color, refined menus, longer ending sequences, and more jokes.

Known Bug: Some environmental graphics may display incorrectly upon loading a saved game. If this occurs, simply leave the area and then return to view the game as intended.

Agency was built with GB Studio.
