Tramp: Become President

Tramp: Become President is a light management simulation centered around Item Management and Resource Decisions.

You start as a penniless tramp, digging through trash, exploring the sewers, and collecting all kinds of items. Every item can be used, crafted, sold, or invested in a business—and what you really need to do is figure out how to use this seemingly worthless trash to steadily increase your net worth.

Resource Management: Getting Rich from the Trash Pile

• Hundreds of Items: Dig through trash piles and explore the sewers, with hundreds of items waiting to be collected. Every scrap is a treasure—will you use it, sell it, craft with it, invest it, or hoard it?

• Hundreds of Recipes: Turn cigarette butts into cigarettes, brew alcohol from dirty water and stale bread, or turn mysterious organic matter into popular food. Around here, trash isn't dirty. It's just another raw material.

• Discover What Your Items Can Do: It's not about how much you scavenge, it's about knowing what to do with it. Use a bag of dog poop to grow flowers, then give the flowers to a rich man's wife. You might earn far more than you would by selling the dog poop directly.

Explore the World: Treasure Chests and Weirdos Everywhere

• Free Exploration: Head to different areas to collect trash, discover new items, meet new people, and find new opportunities. You never know what's hiding under the next trash pile.

• Sewer Treasure Hunt: Pry open manhole covers for a quick ~15-minute light exploration. Encounter maintenance workers, archaeologists, garbage mermaids, and even zombie office workers. You'll uncover dirty secrets, but what you really care about is that shiny golden watch in the mud.

• NPCs Are All a Little Crazy: Every NPC has their own story, and they are all potential connections. As your relationship improves, they can collect trash for you, run errands, cook meals, manage your businesses, and even take care of things you'd rather not handle yourself.

Lazy Wins: Lie in Bed and Watch Others Work

• Desktop Mascot Mode: Place your begging bowl directly on your PC desktop and watch passersby toss in loose change and trash while you work. You don't have to do anything, and your assets will keep growing.

• Automated Exploitation: Hire hobos to collect trash, chefs to cook meals, and employees to manage your businesses. With enough connections and just a little money, everything can be automated.

• Keep Everything Easy: No QTEs, no daily check-ins, and no inventory wipes. The most important thing you need to do is lie back, collect the money, and think about how to make even more. The presidency is right there. One day, it'll be your turn.

Dark Humor: This World Has Taken Reality One Step Further

• An Absurd World: Trash becomes products, products become assets, and assets become power. If the price is right, anything can be traded—including your conscience.

• Bizarre Anecdotes: A hobo moonlighting as an emotional companion for a rich man's pet? A boss's spit is essential for maintaining employee loyalty? Spending money on the black market to send an illegitimate child to an orphanage? Don't worry, none of this exists in the real world... right?

• Climb the Social Ladder: Rise from a beggar to an office worker, then to a capitalist, and finally spend a fortune campaigning for the presidency. Every policy you sign during your term will become the nastiest swear word on the lips of the next beggar.
