About Lower? higher!: buy or bye 

「Bargaining」as the core, with the cyberpunk style of art performance, 《lower? higher!》 wants to provide you with a different experience of pawnshop operation.
You will trade with customers with different needs, and in the process, you can speculate on the psychology of the customer, change the properties of the product, or directly pray to the dice god -- these various business methods can help you achieve the maximum profit of the pawnshop.

All kinds of guests have different personalities and preferences, and it is not easy to entertain them. It is possible to achieve the purpose of trade by mobilizing different bargaining strategies.
The same product in different customers also have different valuation, as soon as possible to sell or wait for a predestined person? It's up to you.

Instead of wasting the money you've already paid, use the special skills of a shop assistant. What if there's a surprise?
As a pawnshop owner, you also have to deal with tax collector, missionary priests, suspicious people looking flustered, etc...Note that some customers will also come with something in mind, and the price level will quietly fan the butterfly effect on them.
Buy and sell in the cyber world, there is unexpected humor and fun, one click to join the wish list, to make it the greatest pawnshop in White Star!

"Lower? higher!: buy or bye " is a very badly made browser page pretending to be a game, a simple "more-book-than-game" tycoon experience where you click through static images and pretend to run a cyberpunk themed pawn shop. The English translation is a mangled mess, the gameplay is beneath a Flash/browser game, and the writing is cringey. The developer also wrote the store page with ChatGPT, just to make sure he insulted as many people as possible with AI Slop. So, it's hard to describe this as a game, the focus of the product is more like that of an e-book/visual novel, there's only minor, shallow and uninteresting gameplay elements. The crux of this is to push some very low quality, badly done fan-fiction tier writing, where we see once more a developer fail to understand the importance of "Show, don't tell", and for whatever reason, weren't able to convey their narrative through gameplay, giving us endless lines of badly written e-book text instead. My gaming rig is not a kindle. For gameplay purposes, because the user interface for this game is mostly just 2D static text/images... it might as well be a web page. It's functionally no different from a browser game. And …
