Crazy Urban Video Game of the Day: Play a Street Vendor in 'Cart Life'
A "retail simulation" that tells stories of "social stratification, food, romance, money and death."
There are all kinds of dull, municipally themed video games out there. And then, there's Cart Life.
Richard Hofmeier's throwback "retail simulation" opens up the intricate world of Georgetown, a city where you can try your hand at different characters operating different street-side businesses. The various protagonists come with their own issues -- one is a devoted single mom, one a smoker -- which shape the game-play.
