It’s a rite of passage when you’re young. There are things you want, but you can’t have them because you’re just not old enough. Fags, booze, knives – they’re all slightly out of your grasp.
So what do you do? You go into a pub or a newsagents and try to trick whoever works there by putting on a deep voice and talking about Gerald from accounts, even though it’s perfectly obvious you’re a scrawny little pikey in a school uniform with an Asbo sticking out of your pocket. You’re fooling nobody, Sonny Jim.
Luckily for you, the good people at Mantlepies have created this Shopkeeper-tricking game. You play a tiny hoodied urchin asking a jolly off-license owner for all kinds of dangerous and irresponsible stuff. If you can time the meter so that your voice gets low enough, he’ll give them to you. Simple as that.
