![]() Presentable Liberty is minimalistic in gameplay and scope, taking place almost entirely in a small jail cell. The player is able to move around their cell and read letters sent through their cell door, which arrive at set times in each in-game day, with no way for the player to make them arrive more quickly, and no way to respond. The letters each come from one of four people: Salvador, an explorer and friend of the protagonist Doctor Money, a rich organ-harvester and the man imprisoning the protagonist Mr. Smiley, a man hired by Doctor Money to keep the protagonist happy and non-suicidal and Charlotte, a woman who owns a nearby bakery, and who is presumably the only other person left alive in the city. ![]() Salvador's letters detail his expedition north, where he watches a river's flow change direction, picks up an interest in wood carving, and eventually returns back to the city. ![]() Doctor Money's letters explain that the city is suffering from an epidemic caused by an unnamed virus which has infected 98% of the population, and that the remaining 2% are mainly prison inmates, including the protagonist. Smiley, the protagonist's assigned "Happy Buddy", tries to keep the protagonist happy with overwhelmingly cheerful dialogue and small gifts, including party poppers, a poster, and several video games played on a Game Boy-esque device.
