How it feels

A methodical, turn-based text adventure where you manage finances and make calculated choices in a late-80s inspired atmosphere.

What players say

Players describe a text-based career simulator where choices often lead to absurd bankruptcy, like losing everything after buying a car. Many say mechanics are unexplained, requiring trial and error, but the game's nostalgia and chaotic randomness keep some coming back.
