Search for valuable items stashed in abandoned barns. Take part in storage auctions, bid high and buy yourself a chance to find exclusive items hidden in the past.
Players take on the role of a redneck pawnshop owner who travels to a variety of locations, from abandoned barns to old military bases, in search of valuable items to add to their inventory. The open-ended exploration allows players to freely search these areas, uncovering a wide range of collectibles, from antique clocks and musical instruments to vintage cars and golden toilet paper rolls, hidden in the nooks and crannies.
Alongside the core item collection, the game incorporates light puzzle-solving and minigames. Some found items may be broken or require assembly, prompting players to complete simple repair or crafting challenges to restore them to a sellable condition. Environmental puzzles also occasionally block access to certain areas or hidden treasures, encouraging players to think critically to progress.
After scavenging their haul, players must bring the items back to their pawnshop to prepare them for sale. This shop management aspect allows players to clean, repair, and customize the various items before putting them up for sale. A haggling mechanic also gives players the opportunity to negotiate better prices with customers, adding a small layer of strategy to the selling process.
As players progress, they can use the money earned from selling items to upgrade their tools, pawnshop, and even their truck. These upgrades streamline the core gameplay loop, enabling more efficient scavenging, repairing, and selling. Players can also unlock new locations to explore, providing more opportunities to uncover valuable finds.
While the gameplay loop is the main focus, the game also features an overarching narrative involving aliens and government conspiracies, woven throughout the different locations players visit. This element of mystery and intrigue adds depth to the otherwise relaxed gameplay experience.
