What is Infinite Swap?
Infinite Swap is a single-player trading game that starts you off with a bottle cap and challenges you to trade your way up to increasingly valuable items. Every NPC, item, and trade offer is generated on the fly using AI, meaning no two playthroughs are identical. The game plays like a traditional item-trading chain game, but with procedurally generated content that keeps it fresh across multiple sessions. It's designed for people who enjoy puzzle-solving, negotiation mechanics, or just the satisfying loop of making incremental progress toward an ambitious goal. The AI generation means the trading chains are always different, so you can't simply follow a walkthrough to success.
