SHOTGUN PIZZA OPEN LATE

Pizza by day. Shotgun by night.

A pizza delivery game. That's it.
(You can also buy a shotgun.)

Concept art

Two shifts, one city

Concept art: a city street at dusk, cars burning under an orange sunset
Dusk. If you were honest today, this is just a sunset. If you weren't, it's a countdown.
Concept art: first-person view over an SMG as police cars swarm a burning intersection
Closing time. If you did crimes today, getting home is the hard part. Home ends the day. That's the rule.
Concept art: a wall of low-poly police cars and officers filling a city street
The response. Police respond to what they see. They saw everything.
Concept art: a crowded pastel city street scattering as police open fire
Route 9. Some deliveries are less straightforward than others.

Early concept art. Not screenshots. The final game will look like this felt. Yes, we kept drawing police cars. It felt important.

The job

Deliver pizzas.
Pay your bills.
Simple.

You drive for Shotgun Pizza, the last warm light in a city that clocked out years ago. Thirty minutes or it's free. The tips are bad. The rent is worse.

An honest night behind the wheel pays about $60. The bills arrive every morning and they do not care. Do the math. The game certainly has.

How you close the gap is your business. How long you last is your score.

Your options

Closing the gap

Keys get left in cars. Registers get left unattended. Customers pay triple for packages you shouldn't look inside, and one of them will offer you $400 for a police car, which is a strange thing to want.

The police respond to what they see — so don't be seen, or be gone before it matters. One parked car can take a whole street with it if things line up, and things love to line up. At dusk they come for you. Touch your front door and the day ends. That's the rule. Then the bills come, and it starts again, a little deeper in the hole.

OPTION 01

Deliver faster

Doesn't work. We did the math so you don't have to. The math is the villain of this game and it is undefeated.

OPTION 02

The side jobs

Triple pay, no questions asked. The questions come later, with sirens on. Break line of sight and walk, don't run.

OPTION 03

The shotgun

Sold at a fixed address by a man who doesn't make eye contact. Fits in a pizza box. Solves the money problem. Creates every other problem.
