Claim Jumpers

In a vibrant, chaotic urban landscape, you play as an eccentric appraiser who specializes in valuing bizarre objects left behind by notorious collectors. After receiving an anonymous invitation to a high-stakes auction of peculiar artifacts, you discover that each item comes with its own dark mystery and a cast of quirky characters, from eccentric inventors to skeptical historians. Your task is to interact with each character, uncover clues, and ultimately determine who truly owns these bizarre items. Navigate through dialogue trees, solve strange conundrums, and use your wit to unlock the secrets behind each artifact while racing against time as the infamous 'Bidding Bandit' threatens to disrupt the auction with an elaborate scheme. Will you be able to expose the truth or get wrapped up in the chaos of claim jumping?
