AMERICAN JUNK
Take over your dad's junkyard plant. Salvage scrap. Build machines. Grow a town around the mess. Build and sell anything, launchers to lipstick. This is your birthright.
Your Dad Died.
You Inherited His Mess.
Somewhere between Detroit and nowhere, there's a factory. Scrap piles, broken machines, a town that grew up around the mess. He ran it. Now it's yours.
Salvage what's left. Set up machines. Sell what you make. Watch shops and streets fill in as the place comes back to life.
That's the loop. That's the whole game.
Four Pillars
Salvage
Haul scrap from the yard and the town. What you pick up feeds what you can build.
Build Machines
Set up the factory. Turn scrap into products. Keep the floor working.
Grow the Town
As the factory comes back, the town around it grows. More shops. More places worth walking to.
Sell Anything
Launchers to lipstick. The catalog gets weirder as you go. That's the fun.
