World premise
A playable world seed with consequences.
March 21st, 1984. The telescreen crackles through its morning sermon: Big Brother is watching you. In the damp stairwell of a prole block in St. Pancras, the smell of boiled cabbage and cheap tobacco clings to your clothes. Your ration book is nearly empty, and the rent is due. The streets below are alive with rumor—prices are climbing faster than the Party's bulletins, a new wave of inspections is whispered about, and someone you know from the Public Canteen claims there is a way to earn real money if you know whom to ask. Nothing is safe, but nothing is stationary either. Every choice you make today will be measured in food, trust, and the chance to see tomorrow.
Ration cuts are pushing more families into desperate trade-offs.
The black market is both a lifeline and a trap.
A local informer is rumored to be feeding names to the Thought Police.
The Party's next 'voluntary' rally is announced, and attendance will be checked.
