About the Game

Welcome to the Side Hustle City, we are happy to offer you a world with lots of real-time simulations on which will depend your success, hustle your way trough it.

Dive into the in-game trading world.

Use a real-time simulated trading app to buy and sell fictional tickers from well-known companies across the city. Track your portfolio, analyze your ROI—and be careful who you trust. NPCs may offer tips and market whispers, but some insights can shift the market, others are just noise. It’s up to you to tell the difference.

Feeling lost or out of the loop?

ChirpNet is your in-game social feed—where market rumors, city gossip, and breaking news collide. Stay ahead of trends, react to events, or post your own updates. But be careful... not every chirp is the truth.

Talk to the locals—if you dare to trust them.

In every store, café, or street corner, characters you meet have something to say. Strike up a conversation to uncover personal stories, local gossip, or even inside info about companies. But not everything you hear is reliable—some tips might help you profit, while others could lead you straight into a trap.

Hit rock bottom? There's still work to be done.

When your portfolio crashes and the markets turn against you, there’s always a way back—through hard, honest labor. Take on low-wage jobs like painting walls or collecting trash. It won’t make you rich, but it might just earn you enough to get back in the game.
