Set in the fictional city of Polis, Pay As You Go follows the story of the boy Slide as he embarks on a quest-like mission to find the perfect apartment. Initially trapped in a less than ideal situation, events soon conspire to cast him into the wild, tumbling world around him, where he encounters various enemies, allies and obstacles along his way. Marking his journey are four figures whose own stories challenge and complicate Slide's stubborn belief that the first step to truly living is having the ideal place to live. A daring and compelling work of magical-real-esateism.
