Stigma of Corruption: Nightbound Courier

Delivering letters in Dawnreach is just the cover story. The real work happens in the downtime, where a novice courier can spend his hours preparing for a disaster that's already on its way, and how much groundwork he lays now decides how bad it gets later.

The setup is simple: play a courier, take the job seriously or don't, and watch the city's slow slide toward something bad while you stock up on whatever advantages you can get. It's less about the letters and more about who you talk to, what you notice, and what you let slide while you're on the clock.

Structurally it runs as a sandbox with turn-based combat layered underneath the errand-running, so days are spent managing time between deliveries, preparation, and the people you cross paths with along the way. A separate system exists specifically to flag the story's more hidden netorare-related scenes so they don't slip past unnoticed, which tells you plainly what kind of game this is before you've read a single line of dialogue.
