🩺 Another spotlight: QUALITY DREAMS, REASONABLY PRICED by zorkie studios - cyberpunk visual novel where you're a body mod consultant trying to save your sick rabbit. Every client = moral dilemma: push expensive upgrades or help them get what they need? 🐰💔

Jin, wearing white and blue clothing, sits across from a client with white hair and an off-shoulder white top. Dialogue options show 'recommend procedure' or 'don't recommend procedure.' The room has modern curved architecture with pendant lights. Quality Dreams, Reasonably Priced screenshot of Jin sitting on their bed in a small cyberpunk apartment, eyes closed peacefully. Their sick white rabbit Nibbles lies on a purple cushion nearby. The cramped room shows industrial fixtures, storage boxes, and green-lit monitors. Dialogue reads 'I sit down next to Nibbles and run a hand through her fur. I can't imagine losing her. Quality Dreams, Reasonably Priced screenshot of Jin in a neon-lit cyberpunk street at night. They stand near a shop,while talking to a person in dark clothing. Green and pink neon signs illuminate the scene. Dialogue reads 'This is my shop and my word is final.
