I made a small browser game about working off a debt at a brick kiln. You shovel mud, mold bricks, bake them and load them onto a truck. Each brick earns a little money towards what you owe.
Your wife and son join you, but so do the bills. Lodging, fuel and other charges keep adding to the debt. There is no win state. Getting better at making bricks doesn't fix the arrangement.
It's built with JavaScript, Canvas and Konva. The story events and dialogue live in data files and are triggered by progress through the game. The little sound effects are synthesized in the browser.
The game ends with some background on debt bondage and links to learn more. You can play it in a desktop or mobile browser.
