About the Game

Bean & Debt is a strategic time and resource management game with a 2.5D cartoon art style, set in a whimsical medieval fable world where survival is measured not by strength, but by sacrifice.

You play as Annecat, a cat-like humanoid who inherits a small farm burdened by one overwhelming problem: an ever-growing debt to the ruthless Debt Collector.

To survive, Annecat must plant enchanted crops, harvest limited yields, and make difficult decisions on how every harvest is used. Crops can be sold to pay debt, consumed to survive, or crafted into tools and defenses to protect the farm. There is never enough for everything.

Debt in Bean & Debt is not just a number or a timer. It is a system that reacts to your choices, changing deadlines, prices, and conditions over time. Every cycle forces players to adapt as financial pressure reshapes the rules of survival.

Rather than focusing on grinding or overwhelming combat, Bean & Debt challenges players to think strategically under constant pressure. Threats emerge as a consequence of poor preparation, not as endless waves to defeat. Progress is not linear, and failure does not end the game instantly, but leaves lasting scars on the farm, the economy, and future options.

Your crops are not just commodities.
They are decisions.
They are sacrifices.
They are sometimes your only weapons.

Will you plant for profit, or sacrifice today’s harvest to survive long enough to face tomorrow’s debt?

Welcome to the only fairytale where the beanstalk doesn’t lead to treasure…
it leads to debt.
