Expectations
"Expectations" – email from Cyberpunk 2077. What should I scroll next? Binding and mutilation? Coercion, distress, torture, it's all become too... ordinary, no longer fresh – perhaps I'll layer it with a feeling of impending death?

What should I scroll next? Binding and mutilation? Coercion, distress, torture, it's all become too... ordinary, no longer fresh – perhaps I'll layer it with a feeling of impending death? Crescendo it throughout. It's a relatively simple approach for a stronger, tastier feel. I have many other ideas too but my product also depends on your demand. My questions is: what do you need?

RE: Expectations
Listen, all you gotta do is scroll and whatever comes out of it I can sell. No need to scrape the bottom of the barrel just yet, sales are good. Let's leave a little room for imagination, for the unexpected. Your clientele's a unique bunch that knows more or less what to expect from you. Why hand over everything you got out of the gates? We sell them mystery, intrigue (ppl eat that shit up). If they're willing to buy something off the beaten path, not knowing quite what to expect, this just amps the thrill – a feeling they'll associate with your work. They'll be hungry for more – and we can use that. Trust me. Don't overthink this – you know what they want. And I know how to sell it.
