About Beyond a Total Loss
Story
You are a balding mustachioed dim-witted drunk called John Harry and you just drove your car off a cliff. Lost in the woods and attacked from all sides by strange vicious beasts, your prospects seem bleak. But then a local game warden comes to your rescue and offers you a gun to protect yourself. You just have to sign a little contract… It seems like your troubles are over, or have they just begun?
About The Game
In "Beyond a Total Loss" you decide how you approach people; do you come at them with your gun drawn, do you talk to them, or kick them in the shins? Different people react differently. There is no wrong way, although some approaches might work better than others. Watch your enemies and learn their moves. Defend yourself against them with various guns or by kicking them under the influence of cocktails. But you can also try to avoid them altogether. Or, if they’re (somewhat) human, even talk to them?
