In a dystopian future where laughter is a rare commodity, players take on the role of a cynical stand-up comedian who discovers a secret society dedicated to hoarding laughter for their own amusement. Tasked with infiltrating this laughter cartel, players must engage in witty banter, navigate social situations, and perform improvised comedy routines to gather intel and liberate the joy from the oppressors. The game features branching narratives where every joke, pun, and gag can alter relationships and social standings, leading to unexpected outcomes and laugh-out-loud moments.
