Riverbank Sundries

On the banks of the River Styx the souls of the dead await their turn to cross, clinging to what little they have to pay the Ferryman.

At Riverbank Sundries, you have one final chance to relieve passers-by of their worldly treasures: The Last Stand before the underworld.

Relieve the weak-willed of their only hope of crossing, but in order to stock your shelves with temptations, you'll need to do a little work.

Tips

• Yes your speakers are working. Sorry, but I didn't get as far as sound...
• Recommend running full-screen, since the interface is a little crowded otherwise.
• On the factory page, use direction keys while placing factory components.
• I haven't done any work to balance things. I'm not even sure if everything can be purchased, or if Spirits will spend their coin.
• If you need to get rid of some inventory (because you need to shuffle things around) put it in a stack on the shop front. Replacing something that exists there currently causes it to disappear.
• Spirits get a random allotment of 0 to 2 coins and 1 to 100 "eth". They'll be more willing to part with eth.

Tutorial

1. Begin by watching some souls go past. Wouldn't it be nice to sell them something?
2. Click the "Factory" button in the top-left
3. You have 15 "eth". Click the "build" button under "Condensor"
4. Click the place button
5. Wait for some Sadness to condense
6. Put the sadness in your inventory by clicking the 1 or the 5 button next to it
7. Click the "Stand" button in the top left
8. Click an "Edit" button at the bottom of the stand screen.
9. Press 1 (1 and 2 are the top and bottom positions in your inventory, respectively)
10. Press the plus (+) button to increase the number of sadness to sell
11. Either accept the default, or set your own price, and click "Accept"

From here it's up to you. Earn more Eth, Upgrade your factory, see if you can convince the spirits to part with their precious Coin.
