Over dit spel

A Game About Having a Job is a simulation about work, money, and doing whatever it takes to make more of the latter for less of the former.

You take on dumb jobs, master dumber skills, trade stocks, lose money, gamble on sports, lose money, and read the nearly-nonsensical news while a surprisingly detailed economy runs in the background. You can play actively, min-maxing every moment, or let things idle and check in later to see how it all went.

Work, Money, and Decisions

Browse procedurally generated jobs, each with different wages, benefits, and humorous titles. Some jobs will teach you skills that can lead to better jobs later, some are dead-ends that just pay the bills for now. Set your 401k contributions once you're on the career ladder and watch the gains compound like the grown-up you are.

Markets, Betting, and Risk

Trade stocks, options, futures, and currency in a simulated stock market influenced by volatility, momentum, and procedural news events. Read headlines that may or may not matter, and decide whether to react or ignore them.

Gamble on fully procedural sports leagues with realistic scoring, odds, spreads, and parlays. Teams have seasons, outcomes are simulated realistically, and bets resolve the way you’d expect.

Sometimes you’re smart. Sometimes you’re lucky. Sometimes the big turtle wrestling match just doesn't go your way and you still have to show up for work tomorrow.

Success here is all about the relationship between risk vs. reward... or maybe a fool and their money?

Time Keeps Moving

The simulation runs continuously with standard time controls that let you pause, speed things up, or let it idle in the background. Markets fluctuate and orders fill. You'll work and get paid. Sports are played and bets resolve.

There’s no single goal, no scripted ending, and no correct way to play.

Just money, time, and whatever you decide to do with them.
