Ownbound is a thought-provoking game that explores the relationship between society, possessions, and power. Set in a dystopian world where individuals are valued based on their belongings, players face moral choices that shape both their personal journey and the fate of society.
In Ownbound, players navigate through a world where materialism reigns supreme. The game offers three distinct paths to confront the final boss, each with its own unique consequences:
- Collector: Gather items to challenge the boss directly.
- Freedom: Avoid all items, inspiring the populace to utilize resources for the common good and eventually rise against the ruling overlords.
- Greed: Collect every available item, altering character interactions and becoming a greed-driven entity more formidable than the overlords themselves.
At its core, Ownbound presents a narrative about consumption and power, where player choices regarding item collection and usage influence the society's fate and the player's legacy within this dystopian world.
