Last Market Before the World Ends™

At the edge of collapsing worlds, a wandering bazaar turns the end of everything into a final, sacred audit of what was never said. By formalizing a regret-based economy where memories, promises, and forgiven futures are the only tender, the IP codifies collapse as a playable market in emotional debt and closure.

This IP reframes apocalypse from spectacle into procedure, converting the end of worlds into a repeatable trade loop between personal failure and communal grace. It operationalizes a non-material currency system that can synchronize across game, fiction, and live-experience formats: regret as token, promise as yield, forgiveness as exit liquidity. By contextualizing collapse as a cozy, portable marketplace rather than a fixed cataclysm, the property scales into anthology worlds, spinoff keepers, and platform-agnostic “last market” encounters wherever cultures confront their own endings.
