PREMISE

You play as Happy, a street-smart entrepreneur in a beanie trying to make it big by buying weed cheap at the dispensary and flipping it to twitchy customers on the block. Navigate a world of cops, thugs, fast food jobs, and questionable life choices while managing your health, sobriety, and heat from the law.

CORE GAMEPLAY LOOP

🌿 Buy Low, Sell High:

Purchase weed at the Dispensary from Luna the budtender (4 different strains from cheap "Backyard Reggie" to premium "Rocket Diesel OG")

Sell to quirky street buyers like Nervous Dave, Chill Marcus, Cosmic Brenda, and Skater Kyle

Haggle for better prices (but being too high or drunk makes you worse at negotiating)

Every sale increases your Heat meter (wanted level)

💰 Survive & Thrive:

Manage 4 key meters: Health, High, Drunk, and Heat

Buy food, liquor, smoke gear, and guns from various shops

Work shifts at McWeederz fast food restaurant to earn honest money when broke

Upgrade from a run-down apartment to a nicer place for better rest and heat cool-down
