SCAMULATOR - Complete Game Description

Scamulator is a satirical comedy simulator game developed by happstoner5420 Games that puts you in the shoes of an incompetent tech support scammer working in a dingy call center. Built as an Electron desktop application, this parody game combines dark humor with strategic gameplay mechanics.

Game Concept & Premise

You play as "Agent SCAM-001" working for the fictional "TotallyLegit Tech Support Inc." - a ridiculously obvious scam operation. Your mission is to convince unsuspecting victims that their computers are infected with viruses or that they owe money to fake government agencies. The game is entirely satirical and explicitly states that no real scams are performed.

Core Gameplay Mechanics

Victim System

Randomly Generated Victims: Each game features procedurally generated victims with unique combinations of:
- Names (from pools of 100+ first/last names)
- Ages and occupations (70+ job types from "Retired Teacher" to "Crypto Bro")
- Locations across America
- Technical proficiency levels (from "Amish-tier" to "Hacker God")

Dynamic Meters System

Four key meters track your progress:

Trust Level (❤️): How much the victim believes you
Suspicion Level (🔴): How close they are to catching on
Panic Level (😨): Victim's fear and urgency
Scam Progress (💰): How close you are to success

Multi-Phase Scam Progression

The game progresses through distinct phases:

Introduction - Initial contact and trust building
Trust Building - Establishing credibility
Fear Creation - Introducing fake problems
Remote Access - Gaining control of their "computer"
The Ask - Requesting payment/information
Close Deal - Finalizing the scam
