About This Game

Tramp: Become President is a dark comedy resource management game built around collecting, crafting, and exploiting everything the world throws away.

Blending desktop idle gameplay, management simulation, sandbox and light Roguelite exploration, it invites you into an absurd social ladder where money solves almost everything.

Resource Management: Nobody Understands Recycling Better Than You

• Hundreds of Items: Dig through dumpsters, explore the sewers, and collect hundreds of unique items. Sell them, craft with them, give them away as gifts, invest them—or keep hoarding them for that perfect opportunity.

• Hundreds of Crafting Recipes: Turn cigarette butts back into cigarettes. Brew booze from dirty water and stale bread, then bottle it as premium liquor. Transform mysterious organic matter into bestselling cuisine. Around here, trash is just another raw material.

• Dozens of NPCs: Every NPC has their own personality and story—but they're also valuable connections. Earn their trust, and they'll collect junk, run errands, cook meals, manage your businesses, and handle the jobs you'd rather not be seen doing yourself.

Lazy Wins: A Truly Stress-Free Experience

• Desktop Idle Companion: Leave your begging bowl on the corner of your desktop and let passersby throw coins—and trash—your way. Your wealth keeps growing while you do absolutely nothing. Need to look productive? One click disguises the game as a harmless notes app.

• Automated Exploitation: Assign drifters to collect trash across the city. Hire a chef so you never go hungry. Let professional managers run your businesses. With enough connections—and just a little cash—almost everything can be automated.

• No Pressure: You won't die—at worst, you'll spend a few days in the hospital. You won't be executed—at worst, you'll enjoy a short stay at the police station. No daily chores, no timed missions, no QTEs, and no punishing failure. The presidency isn't going anywhere.

The Underground: A 15-Minute Sewer Expedition

• Light Roguelite Exploration: Pry open a manhole and embark on a roughly 15-minute adventure through the city's sewers. Survive hundreds of random encounters and return home with your backpack overflowing with "treasure."

• Nobody Down Here Is Normal: Maintenance workers, archaeologists, garbage mermaids, zombie office workers... Whether you negotiate, bribe, befriend, or fight them is entirely up to you.

• The City's Dirty Secrets: Every city's trash, forgotten history, and buried scandals eventually end up underground. The sewers are filled with toxic gas, monsters, mountains of garbage, and secrets the city's most powerful people desperately hope you'll never find.

Dark Comedy: A World That Feels Uncomfortably Familiar

• An Absurd Economy: Trash becomes merchandise. Merchandise becomes wealth. Wealth becomes power. In this world, everything has a price—including your conscience.

• Stories You Definitely Won't See in Real Life: A homeless man working as an emotional support pet for the rich? Wine brewed with a CEO's saliva for "extra quality"? Spending PitCoin on the black market to anonymously send an illegitimate child to an orphanage? Pure fiction. Obviously.

• Climb the Social Ladder: Rise from homeless tramp to office worker, from entrepreneur to capitalist, and finally spend a fortune buying your way into the presidency. Every policy you sign into law will become the next generation's favorite thing to complain about.

Friendly Reminders

• Playing during working hours is highly recommended. It won't interfere with your primary job of begging your boss for a paycheck.

• This game is set in a completely fictional world. Any resemblance to real people, companies, governments, or your boss is purely coincidental.

• The financial systems, taxes, insurance, investments, and politics depicted in this game are fictional gameplay mechanics and should not be taken as real-world advice.

• Please respect real-world homeless people. No one stays fortunate forever. Offer help when you can—even if they only end up becoming Vice President someday.
