El Mequetrefe

About the Game

Your life arrives as posts. Every answer becomes tomorrow's paper.

El Mequetrefe is a seeded decision roguelike set in Puerto Bonanza in 1976. Answer calls, messages, and visits from family, allies, rivals, and the people who want a line in your newspaper. Resolved posts remain in your history, so the run keeps the record of what you chose.

A choice stays

Every decision can move Plata, Salud, family relationships, and hidden political opinion. Debt is ordinary. Low health, isolation, enemies, and collection pressure are not.

A choice prints

At Editorial Close, choose which earned pieces reach the street, compose the edition, and run the press. The next morning returns sales, costs, and authored reasons for what changed.

The feed becomes a life

Family stories and political routes remember what you did and resolve into a final epilogue. A seed and the same choice sequence reproduce the same run.
