HYPERMALL: UNLIMITED VIOLENCE comes to the dripping world of meat with a Kickstarter

HyperMall: Unlimited Violence is a mission-based meatpunk assassination game for 2-6 players by Rat Bastard Games that you can back RIGHT NOW over on Kickstarter.

It's already more than HALFWAY FUNDED after only 6 days.

HYPERMALL: UNLIMITED VIOLENCE ANSWERS SEVERAL AGE OLD QUESTIONS:

• What if you could make a Tech CEO piss his pants just by saying mean things?
• What if you could kill your boss so hard his bones exploded?
• What if Wal-Mart figured out a way to eliminate Death as a concept, forcing its workers to forever resurrect, forever serve capital, forever worship the boots on their neck?

Using the all-new d6 dice pool Rat System, players take on the role of desperate and deranged gig workers forced to kill for Slaughtr™ - The Assassination App. Some are mutants, some are powerful Psionics, and others are just freaks with guns.

Each time a Contractor dies - and they die a lot - their souls are captured by the Resurrection Matrix and shunted into freshly cloned bodies (for a fee, of course). This process is never perfect, and Contractors accumulate quirks and slight (or not-so-slight) changes to their physiology as they get mercilessly gunned down again and again by the genetically engineered mall cops and illegal cyborgs employed by the rich and famous. All this and they can just barely pay rent.

HyperMall: Unlimited Violence has everything you need to run a chaotic one shot or a long running campaign, including but not limited to:

• d66 Contractor Backgrounds - be who you were always meant to be
• d66 Mutations manifested by vaping unregulated mutagen
• d66 Psionic Powers unlocked by getting holes drilled into your cranium by shady street docs (just like real life)
• Rules for Financial Warfare - hit 'em where it hurts!
• d66 Assassination Targets & an in-depth system for Contract Generation so GMs can create unique missions on the fly with zero prep
• All new art by JD Clément (@RatBastardGames), Bryton J. Swan (@DapperGamelord), Zach Hazard Vaupen (@zachhazard), and Nathaniel Morris, plus a whole bunch of dead people.
• The Rat System, a very easy to learn d6 dice pool system that plays a little like "good Shadowrun"
• Over 160 pages of the rawest shit you've ever seen

HyperMall: Unlimited Violence draws inspiration from Consumer Softproduct's hit immersive FPS Cruelty Squad, roguelikes, working a job, Troika!, and the fact that Everything Just Keeps Getting Worse.

WE'VE GOT STRETCH GOALS LIKE YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE

• $16,000 USD - Guest artist Chaoclypse will enhance the game with the kind of art your grandma wishes she had in her meatpunk TTRPG.
• $22,000 USD - Guest artist Zach Hazard Vaupen returns with EVEN MORE art. It's going to be crazy, you're going to love it.
• $35,000 USD - Custom Dice You Cannot Use In Another Other Game
• $50,000 USD - Guest author and TTRPG wunderkind Gormengeist (GREED, Bubblegum Wizards: 2) will write an all-new intro mission that I promise will be loads better than the one we have now. 
• $200,000 USD - We release Sex 2 to the general public. 

THERE'S ALSO DIGITAL STRETCH GOALS 

HyperMall's success on itch.io prompted us to create three pieces of stretch goal DLC currently in development. Backing the Kickstarter guarantees you'll get digital copies of every piece of DLC as they arrive:

1. HYPERMALL: FREAKSHIT CATALOGUE (coming Q1 2025) - 36 new Contractor Backgrounds and expanded Lore. Includes weirdos such as Single Mom Who Works Two Jobs, Human Ortolan, Eternal Child, Coastal Wizard, and The Last Catholic. Ideal anniversary present for that special someone.
2. HYPERMALL: POSTHUMAN BLUES (Q3 2025) - Did you watch Evangelion and think that Shinji was a little bitch? Posthuman Blues features completely revamped rules for mecha combat, 36 new mechs, and Lore about the horrors that exist beyond the HyperMall. Become a warcrime!
3. HYPERMALL: ORION KILLERS (Q4 2025) - A man with eyes of light and a voice that flays flesh has appeared within the HyperMall. Of course somebody wants him dead. Your problems start after you've killed this would-be prophet. All across the HyperMall, people dream of this stranger and his eyes of light. It's clear that there's more to this job than just putting down a psychic cult leader. ORION KILLERS is a series of three connected Contracts about what it means to kill god for money. Delve deep into absurdity with the missions Prophet Margins, Heaven's Detritus, and Congenital Disease In The Heart Of The American Dream.

HyperMall: Unlimited Violence has exactly one tier - Play The Fucking Game Edition. For $45 CAD (~$33 USD) you get a copy of the coolest game in the world in your hands. That's a a ridiculous deal.
