Computer Monger

Explore an abandoned industry park hunting for parts in order to build a computer.

You can walk around and explore, but there's no ability to actually put together the computer.

Entry for DOScember Game Jam.

Inventory and Stores
W/S or up arrow/down arrow to move through the inventory. 

For inventory, U uses an item. T tosses it.
For stores, A or left arrow adds the item to your inventory (either by reducing the amount your selling or increasing the amount you're buying). D or right arrow removes the item from your inventory (either by selling more or reducing the amount you're buying. You can think of it as the left column is your pile so pressing left moves items to your pile and the right column is the store's pile, so pressing right moves items to their pile.
