Better Days Pending

This city delivers everything except a better life.
Better Days Pending is a single-player first-person action game set across connected open areas. You are a food courier: ride your e-bike, collect orders, deliver meals, buy weapons and survive the next stretch of highway.
Deliver. Earn. Take another order.
Check your phone, follow minimap navigation and collect and deliver orders at NPCs. Longer trips pay more, with an extra night-time bonus. Your income keeps rising. A better life still feels far away.
An unsafe commute
Fight armed enemies, heavy soldiers, slimes and birds that can carry you into the sky. Buy handguns, automatic weapons, a sniper rifle, an RPG, a katana and a greatsword. Ride your delivery bike, or find a drivable tank and jet at the military base and airport.
Life between deliveries
Explore a metropolis, a dock, a Japanese-inspired neighbourhood and roadside settlements. Listen to vehicle radio, watch the day turn into night, read cynical advertisements, talk to NPCs, play football or risk your entire wallet at a slot machine.
In the game
