Took a good read through of this upon purchasing, and to be honest this is as close as it gets to being the TTRPG equivalent of a Machine Girl album in the best way possible - down to the chaotic visuals and the raw energy within the prose (I would recommend blasting their music while reading it)
Also great to know that I'm not the only one who loves the concept of critting on triple 6's!
Listen, if the players don't all kill themselves after playing this game you're doing it wrong. The whole point is for them to kill themselves. To confirm the meritocracy the blood has to look like it's on their hands. Or you could get impatient and enact fascism to kill them and yourself. Doesn't matter much either way. The lolcows are all out of milk and there's nothing left but emptiness.
Ran a game with 5 players independent contractors to kill a baseball star, the creative freedom this game allows in figuring out how to permanently kill your targets leads to players finding the absolute funniest ways they can accomplish their goal. Amazing work so far, and I'm loving the improvements to the rules you've been working on! Hoping you can dethrone Lancer once more!
I have a couple questions, is it fine if I share the PDF with friends for playing the game, and do you have plans for a physical edition when it’s more developed?
Just read through most of it, this game is beautiful and so well detailed, the text is both haunting, funny and full of personality. The classes made me laugh, the mechanics made me think and the setting made me shiver, beautiful.
Thanks aside, I was howling reading this, some of the funniest and most bitter writing I've read in a while. Not super sure how it runs, but as an an inspirational text for your next cyberpunk corpo-horror game, it's gorgeous.
Ever since I was a pre-worker (“child,”) I dreamt of the day that I could begin my future in the econoscape. I reneged all familial and immature distractions, pouring all of my developing brain cells into learning the Art of Capital. Nary a tiddlywink bought for myself, all of my coin was saved in the hopes that I could one day be That Guy. It turns out I suck at those things, but now it doesn’t matter, since Hypermall: UNLIMITED VIOLENCE allows me to live out my lifelong fantasy of professionally performing olfactory boot polishing (visual investment.) Thank you for allowing all of us to purchase this CONSUMER PRODUCT (high quality.)

Game looks great, I just wish it cost more.
You're absolutely right. I should put it on negative sale.

Thank you so much. Your stream was awesome!

Oh yeah, you can totally share it with your friends. I have no problem with that. I hope you have fun!
We do have plans for a kickstarter for a physical edition, starting sometime Summer 2024. I'll be posting more info about it soon!

ANY chance of 3rd Party licensing?
if by 3rd party licensing you mean writing stuff compatible with HM:UV, yeah absolutely go for it.
I'm going to be releasing an SRD for the "Rat System" which is what HyperMall uses soon
If you like the RPG world-building of Paranoia, but also enjoy smoking BathSalts, this is The Product™ for you.
