About
Rick has a desk job that pays nothing and a boss who treats him like dirt, plus a marriage and a family life that are already falling apart before the game even starts. A stroke of bad (or good) luck drags him into a world of gangsters, killers, and dirty cops, and suddenly office grievances look quaint.
The story follows Rick as he's targeted from multiple sides at once, forced to decide whether to fight his way into real power or let his family get picked apart while he watches. Choices steer whether he ends up running the show or ends up wreckage, with more than one ending depending on how far he's willing to go.
You play Rick through this decline-or-rise arc, making the calls that decide who he becomes, while the people around him, including his wife, get pulled into the fallout in ways that aren't always flattering to anyone involved.

- It is important to note that the extra scenes in the Extended Version are no longer called Untold Stories. Simply because not just one character is given extra scenes, and the length and placement of those extra scenes varies widely. And will continue to do so in the future. However, the extra scenes will still focus on the side characters, but they will not have a title, and there will be many more of them in the chapters.

- Notes to v0.10:
- The road was long and bumpy. Unfortunately for me, terrible events slowed down the development, but finally the first part of Chapter 9 was finished. Well, not completely.
- I will release an update, because unfortunately there are some problems with the animations. Nothing serious, some are missing the background beyond the window and in two scenes Rick is wearing a shirt when he shouldn't be. Unfortunately, these errors were the result of inadvertently. I will try to correct these in the coming weeks.
- Apart from that, the chapter is finished. As you may be used to, the course of events depends to a large extent on decisions made earlier. What's more, Cora or Rick could make a decision that will have a major impact on Chapter 10 (but seriously, it will have a very big impact).
- On paper, there are no serious errors than in chapter 8. But, if you experience a bug, feel free to report it in the bug report section of my Discord server.
