Capitalism, Hey!: Taisho Roman Revolution
[ Everything fades to black...and you awaken in a run-down one-room shack, with the distinct feeling that the people around you are your family, if you didn't already have such a bond with them.
You're wearing raggedy versions of your uniform, and a newspaper informs you that you are currently in %COUNTRYNAME%, in the year %CONTEMPORARY%. The newspaper is otherwise actually fairly unhelpful, aside from something detailing a recent high-profile murder having been solved: despite confusion on the part of the authorities conducting the initial investigation, it turns out the victim had been tragically murdered via gun in the knife.
What do you do? ]

As a result, you all become horribly emaciated as you use up the last of your food stores. You're barely eating enough to make it through the week, and at almost all times the pangs of hunger strike you almost unbearably.
Your family is STARVING.

THE END.
Well, mostly peaceful. You recover from your pains, but immediately you and the family you work for end up in the middle of a worker's revolt, a massive prison riot, and the military of %COUNTRYNAME%. You bravely protect your employers from the workers, and swiftly evade the riot to find safety with the military, who escorts you to a new home in a nicer city.
Oh, sure -- you lose limbs in an explosion. An arm, a leg, and maybe you're a little blind now.
But at least you're alive. At least you're happy. At least you did your job well. Isn't that all anyone can ask?
