O'BLOCK

Sneaker deals

O'BLOCK is a PC negotiation and business game about selling sneakers, starting with $300, a pair of Bred 1s and rent due in seven days. Each buyer has a hidden number, mood and patience. You name a price, then interpret how far off you are from the buyer’s response. You also inspect shoes for signs of fakes, such as a font, smell or slumped toe. One tell can be misleading; two mean the pair is fake.

Rent and weekly rounds

You can choose the long climb to a billion, a thirty-day summer or a daily seed. Six origins each come with an upside and a catch, and ten heat levels set the challenge. Each week is a round: meet the rent and sales quota or take a strike. Clearing a round opens a back room with angles, one-shot tips, rerolls and interest on the cash you held.
