Scrap Inspector

Every test costs time.
Time is radiation.

Inspect scrap. Compare readings. Make a deal — or walk away.

You work from a sealed inspection booth. The seller waits behind the glass. Each extra test buys you evidence, while the radiation keeps rising.

Weigh, scan, probe, light, power up or drill the item. Ten tools, each blind to something. No tool says “fake”: the clues are in the readings that disagree.

Buy knowledge to understand your instruments. Decide when you know enough to make an offer.

Ask to drill something you haven’t bought. Bluff without drilling. Watch a seller refuse, sweat or drop the price. Some lie; some just don’t know what they have.

Push the wrong person too far and the glass can crack.

The worse the storm, the better the loot. Every extra test costs time. Prepare your hold at night: what you store determines who comes for it.

Sell to four factions and work toward a way off the planet. Fresh catalogue. Fresh strangers. Fresh lies.

Who’s making this?

I’m a game designer from Georgia and work with the Anti-Gaming Studio team. Scrap Inspector is my personal project, and all of its game design is entirely my own. It’s a test project exploring this question: can game-design knowledge and AI help make an enjoyable game without programming, art or audio expertise? I’m using the lessons to improve our team’s workflow.

Code, art, music and voices are AI-assisted. My English is rough, so AI helps clean up my writing too.
