GEN Z QUANT: Unfinished Business is an open-world mission game in the browser. Quant went viral for a joke coin but the people who lost their bags want someone to blame. Now a crew called the Degens has taken his dog, Moon. Their boss, a masked streamer called ZK, wants the community paid back, and Quant to stop posting. Quant wants his dog back.
Drive Quant's rocket-boosted supercar through Manhattan, fight the Degens hand to hand, follow the trail from Chelsea to the West Side yards to Washington Square, and get Moon home.
GEN Z QUANT is a free, open-source community project. It is built on Slop New York by Mr.doob (three.js, WebGPURenderer and TSL).
Play it
Play it at genzquant.com. To run it yourself there is no build step: serve the folder and open it in a browser (a recent Chrome or Edge works best; phones work too):
python3 -m http.server 8000
Then open http://localhost:8000. Click, or press any key, for sound.
What's in it
- Three story missions. Dognapped: the opening, then Chelsea Park. Burner: Bryant Park, Times Square and the West Side yard. KOLs: Gears' garage and Floor Price Fiona's $MOON2 KOL rally at Washington Square.
- An 81-second opening cutscene, with phone calls, cut scenes and a cast of voiced characters.
- Street fighting. Fists, kicks, bats, bottles and trash cans; counters, dodges and takedowns. No guns.
- Quant's car. A supercar with a V8 or an all-electric mode (Q), cold-gas thrusters for hops and sideways dashes, and a boost.
- A living Manhattan. Traffic, crowds, crashes, police calls, chases you can lose, and a car radio with four stations.
- Controller support for Xbox, PlayStation and other standard pads, plus keyboard and mouse.
