  "account": "Silver Bullet has revealed Mr Trippy, an upcoming management simulation game for PC. The game's premise initially appears to be about operating an ice cream truck, but there's more to it than meets the eye. Players will be involved in a dual life, maintaining a facade of legitimacy while secretly pushing illegal substances like methamphetamine from within their seemingly innocent truck.\n\nThe game will challenge players to navigate the vigilance of law enforcement, keeping their Heat Meter low to avoid detection. As players progress, they will expand their operations by upgrading and customizing their truck, and gradually taking over new neighborhoods. But the game doesn't stop at substance trafficking. Players will also need to learn the art of money laundering through local businesses to stay under the radar of the cops and tax authorities.\n\nThe game is currently seeking support on Steam. Developer Ryan McCaffrey, known for his work on IGN's Xbox show, Podcast Unlocked, and the semi-retired interview show, IGN Unfiltered, is eagerly waiting for players to wishlist Mr Trippy. With a North Jersey background, he prefers \"Taylor ham\" over \"pork roll\" in a Twitter debate.",
