I think this has the bones of a good game but imo the blackmail money gets too expensive too quickly. You have to have a perfect run to build up enough characters/stats to take them down before just being bankrupted and all of your characters are taken away. edit: its also difficult to tell what gets you paid and what doesn't, aside from Agatha and the city there are not many quests that give money
I've been playing the game more and yeah i think the blackmail could be tweaked, but its definitely doable, it just can be frustrating of getting into a loop of not having enough characters (or characters with high enough stats) to do quests, which leads to less money which leads to not being able to pay the dues. My suggestion would be there could be an option after failing the bounty too many times, an option comes up with an button to reset the run or keep trying. It might makes it feel less like quitting and more like "hm that didn't work, lets try again!" as opposed to refreshing the window which makes me feel like I'm going outside the rules of the game and like cheating.
I also have a problem with character profiles shrinking [about half the size the character normally is], they work fine but it will also shrink whatever item I give them.
I absolutely adore this game, but I did notice that after a point, the mission progress bar stops moving? I hit "Begin Mission" and then my people get locked into the mission and the mission freezes and it's just kinda like damn but I was on a roll.
Other than that playing up to that point is super fun! Would love to see more characters and possible guild members! 10/10 would play again.
Also, if you don't pay the blackmail money, you lose all of the other characters and not just the one. Final thoughts : it was fun, and difficult due to the fact that you couldn't miss one payment or risk having to restart. Also, how to link the equipment was not clear. I thought it was added to the job, and not the person. Plus they spawn randomly. Sometimes under buildings and you can't find it. I also coudn't pull any items off, just had to replace it with another. Otherwise, I enjoyed it!
Thanks for playing! Yeah spawning needs improvements. When you did not pay the blackmail you lost not 1 character but all? For equipment I'm starting to think that I need to add an explanation when it first comes out.

You probably are right, just too much playing alone. In next update will reduce how fast it goes up
