aw don't call urself that bless u 😠ty for still playing my game and Sorry if you got confused haha. A lot of things were purposely left vauged because I thought it served the themes more that way.
With your other questions most of it is explained in the description and near the intro but I'll repurpose some of it here for u ^^;. The thousand was just a general budget of a party with bad interests and you wouldn't want them to win the auction. so the goal is essentially have the bids reach over their budget.
With questions towards the backstory I'll keep it vaugue for now bcs it's very much up to interpretation. I'll be updating the game soon and the backstory will probably be clearer then but for now it's just a past of tragedy and a very broken home.
