Starport Chatter is a highly customizable sci-fi simulation MMO. While everyone else is busy fighting monsters, the player Not My Cup of Tea opens a little cafe. It’s poorly located, gets few customers, and earns next to nothing.
She sets a rule: one free dish each day, in exchange for telling a fun story about a small task you did that day. So each day, someone opens the door, sits down, and tells a story. The foghorn at the signal tower sounded seven minutes early. A delivery runner sent a letter to the wrong person. A potted moving plant in the greenhouse simply refused to bloom. They’re all little things. Once the story is told, the food is eaten, and the customer leaves. No main quest, no leveling up, no romance. Just a hot drink, a light in the hallway, and a door that someone will open.
Theme: Existing is enough. You don’t have to be useful.
