Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

원래 꿈은 변호사였다. 현생에선 못 해봐서 이곳에서 해봤다. 19살에 바로 학자금 대출 6천만원 땡겨서 법대에 입학했다. 돈이 없으니 학교 가는 시간 외엔 자동차 딜러했다. 왜냐면 그나마 그게 시급이 제일 세기 때문이었다. 그렇게 체력과 정신력 갈았다. 병원을 한달에 한번 갔다. 다행히 졸업했고, 하자마자 근처 인턴으로 들어갔다. 그러자마자 딜러 그만뒀다. 애초에 딜러보다 시급은 낮았지만 그래도 안정적이겠지 했다. 하지만 비싼 월세와 식대는 감당할 수 없었다. 그래서 다시 자동차 판매점 사장님 찾아갔다. 다행히 다시 받아주셨다. 그렇게 투잡을 하면서 몸과 마음 갈아넣었다. 이사도 갔다. 통근 시간이 긴게 인생에 낭비였다. 그래도 나아진 월급에 영화도 보고 요리도 해먹는다. 떨어진 체력은 자전거 구입해서 기어코 그걸로 통근한다. 다행히 1년에 성과급 받으면 주식투자도 조금씩 한다. 그래도 버틸 수 있었다. 조금만 더 경력 쌓으면 형사 변호사가 될 수 있으니까. 그렇게 경력 쌓자마자 형사 변호사로 이직했다. 이제 딜러를 그만 둘 수 있었다. 소셜은 싫어했지만 결혼은 했어야했기에 독서클럽에 다닌다. 그렇게 여친을 만났다. 그 여자는 바텐더였다. 난 변호사인데... 하지만 가릴 때가 아니다. 곧 서른이다. 그리고 그녀는 21살이었다. 그녀와의 애정은 쉽게 쌓였다. 아무렴 취미라곤 영화보기 하나에 건강 위해서 자전거 통근하고 가끔씩 형사 변호사 경험을 몇년 쌓고 비즈니스 변호사로 이직한다. 이제 돈 걱정은 안해도 된다. 그렇게 그녀와 결혼식을 준비했다. 돈이 엄청 들었지만 그래도 괜찮았다. 난 변호사니까. 다행히 꾸준히 사놨던 주식도 올랐다. 팔아서 결혼자금으로 썼다. 집도 더 큰집으로 갔다. 이제 돈이 천만원 밖에 없다. 하지만 괜찮았다. 곁에 내 와이프가 있으니까. 하지만 그녀는 나와 다르게 외향형에 쇼핑도 해야했다. 나 말고 혼자하라했다. 난 안그래도 바빴다. 그리고 와이프가 고졸인게 마음에 걸렸다. 그녀보고 대학 가라고 했다. 천만원 밖에 없는데, 대출 받기 싫어서 그냥 교육학 전공하라고 했다. 그녀는 범죄학 하고 싶다고 했는데 그럴려면 5천만원 이상을 태워야했다. 그리고 그때까지도 학자금대출 못 갚고 있었다. 그렇게 그녀를 대학을 보내는 순간 진짜 알뜰하게 살아야했다. 하.. 변호사인데.. 그리고 늦지 않게 임신 시도했다. 그래도 젊어서인지 두달만에 임신했다. 그녀는 임신 도중에 대학을 다녔다. 그렇게 4년을 버텼다. 그녀가 졸업하고 쉬고 싶다고 했지만 바로 취직하라고 했다. 그녀가 교사가 되서야 이제 재산이 쌓이기 시작했다. 그리고 아들도 태어났다. 유모도 써야했고, 식재료 배달도 시킨다. 집도 단독주택으로 이사갔다. 그리고 경력을 채우자마자 지방 판사에 지원했다. 자리가 없었다. 하지만 계속 도전했고, 겨우 취직했다. 이제 난 월급으로만 1200만원을 벌었다. 이정도 되니 경제적 자유를 얻는다. 써도써도 돈이 쌓인다. 아, 이게 행복인가 싶었다. 그러다 문득 현실의 내가 생각났다. 게임 속이나 현실이나 19세 이후 한번도 쉬지 못 하고 달려왔다. 하지만 게임과 다르게 현실은 시궁창이었다. 그래서 조용히 게임을 껏다.

Played the demo and was just too intrigued to not pick it up at a discount despite my reservations at this being a bit of a dead game at this point (no new major updates and a very quiet community). For a money-focused game it’s very rough around the edges and there is no detail or depth when it would be useful. The way the game pays wages in your businesses actually makes it difficult to understand if you are making a profit or a loss easily. I get the feeling interest was low in this game during early access so the dev just pushed to 1.0 which is a real shame.
i consider myself a fanatic player of this game, what i miss from this game is a basic business game .. commodities, how i cant buy commodity like gold, silver and even collectible high value things... i think they are important part of business game.. i hope dev can add them next update
I really tried to give this game a chance but the UI is just horribly complicated. The game is also full of bugs, e.g. when your character moves places the end up homeless sometimes even though you properly leased the new place and clicked "move in". They just ignore that command and live on the street right in front of heir new home. And because they can't shower and eat like this they lose their job each time... I also encountered a bug where all the auto-commands of the characters of the household were deleted when I moved apartments. Not even just the apartment related commands like sleeping etc. but also the commands for other places like going to the gym to work out. One character has about 30 auto-commands (that you have to pick up all over the place) and I lost the auto-commands for 3 characters... I didn't feel like redoing it right away and wanted to save and finish for the day when the game crashed and all the recent progress was lost anyway... The idea is interesting and the game itself is totally addicting, so I did spend 2 days playing it. But the horrible UI design and these annoying bugs are so frustrating that it's just not worth keeping playing this game. They need to address these bugs (like make moving apartments smoother!) and do some quality of life changes to the UI. But as the game is now I can't recommend to play it. Save yourself the headache that this game gave me! Update: Since I couldn't save my game anymore without the game crashing I tried to contact Steam about a refund and explained that this is not about me changing my mind to just disliking the game but that the game became impossible to play because of the above mentioned bugs. But according to Steam user support the "2 hours"-rule still stands and the game can't be refunded... You will probably cross the 2 hours of playtime just by doing the endless tutorial, so keep that in mind before you buy this game. It's a total rip off that works the first few hours and then gets all buggy in the later phase of the game.
The community is non existent, the discord is dead and there's only a handful (about 86 mods total) but its a pretty fun game overall
For what the game offers - this game should be about $6.00 max.
Gonna have to give this a [b] "very mixed but leaning towards not recommended" [/b] rating. Tried out the demo and thought the premise seemed interesting as a monetary life-sim game. I even thought there would be more events and dynamics when buying the full game. However, what you see in the tutorial is just that. Unless you're interested in a small entrepreneur business sim, this game feels empty. There are other small business sim games out there so it's kind of a shame that the game leaned hard into it instead of its life-sim aspect. After an hour or two, you kinda get to see everything that the game has to offer, and then it just gets repetitive.
Unplayable, student loans dont go away after bankruptcy in the united states irl
