About the Game

In this roguelike deckbuilding game, your goal is to build your business empire and make tons of money, while keeping an eye on your debt and your opponent in check. 

In a satirical unfair world, you get to play with 4+ factions with different playstyles to choose from.

  • Oper: The realm of the millionaire CEO, the workaholic suit, and the dangerous smile of a lending shark. Bedazzled by generous bonuses, but be careful of its ferocious appetite for debt.

  • Akibara: The technology valley controlled by gamers, hackers, and neon lights. This is where bitcoin fortunes are made with other people's data, this is where big brother comes to watch.

  • Gastown: The poor and forgotten inhabitants are adept at sabotaging their opponent, stealing from their business while ruling the streets. This do-or-die faction doesn’t shy away from a healthy dose of physical violence to achieve its aims.

  • Beach: Tourists descend like a swarm of bright pink locusts to consume the hours purchased in advance. 

    Features:

  • Build and customize your own deck by choosing from 180+ cards

  • Choose from four different factions and their unique starter decks: Oper, Akibara, Gastown, Beach

  • Carefully manage the different types of cards at your disposal: Business, Workers, Henchmen, Actions, and Objects

  • Accept the challenge and make your way through a procedurally generated campaign with 20+ Events and many hours of replayability

  • More than dozens of different enemies stand in your way of success: from mob bosses to otaku and money lenders. Get ready to defeat the biggest crook of them all: the Government!

  • Collect 30+ special items to aid you in your quest to make even more money!

  • Challenge your friends in PvP!
