About

Infinite Swap

Read full description

You have one bright green bottle cap. Can you trade your way to a house? A private jet? A space flight? Infinite Swap drops you into a world of traders, deal-makers and oddballs — each with something they want, and something they'll let go. Walk into a flea market, a marina, a tech campus, an art district, and start swapping. A bottle cap becomes a vintage camera. The camera becomes a sailboat. The sailboat becomes a vintage Porsche. Where you end up is entirely up to you — and the deals you make. And after every swap, Sal the Appraiser — a sharp-eyed pawnbroker who's seen it all — gives you his fully voiced verdict. Did you get a steal? Or did you just torch your fortune? But not every trade goes up. Read a character wrong, jump on an offer that looked too sweet, and the fortune you spent an hour climbing can vanish in a single swap. Climb high, crash hard, dust yourself off, and try to read the next trader better than the last. NO TWO PLAYTHROUGHS THE SAME Every trader you meet, every item they own, every offer they make is generated fresh. The merchant who traded you a telescope last game might want something completely different this time. Play it once and you've seen one shape of the world. Play it ten times and you've still only scratched the surface. 37 UNIQUE CHARACTERS A French circus performer running a curiosity shop. A retired Oxford historian downsizing her artefacts. A beach bodybuilder hunting gym equipment. A tech bro flexing rare mechanical keyboards. Every trader has their own personality and fully voiced reactions — and a hidden motivation that changes every game. 11 HANDCRAFTED LOCATIONS Flea markets, art districts, university quarters, beaches, marinas, tech campuses and more. New locations unlock as you climb, opening doors to higher-stakes trades and richer characters. PROGRESSIVE OBJECTIVES Start by trading your way to a house. Then chase the private jet. The private island. The superyacht. The space flight. Earn medals at every milestone — and find out what waits beyond the stars. YOUR COLLECTION Every item you discover is catalogued forever. Sort by value, browse your journey, and watch your trades climb (or plummet) from cents to millions. ONE BOTTLE CAP. INFINITE OUTCOMES. HOW FAR CAN YOU RIDE IT?
