O tej grze

American Dream: Past Due is a gritty, realistic decision-making simulator. One sudden layoff is all it takes to rip away the comfortable illusion of your middle-class life. You are 40 years old, the weight of your entire family rests on your shoulders, and your only income is a measly federal unemployment check.

Your wife’s questions, your kids’ expectations, the crushing pressure of mounting bills... do you pretend everything is fine, or come clean? Whatever you choose, you must juggle your family's finances and emotional well-being, pay a never-ending stack of bills, and hustle to find a new job. Can you get your life back on track before you lose it all?

Caught between dignity and survival: Experience the suffocating reality of a broken system.

Swipe to Survive

Your kid needs new sneakers—do you yell at them to save money, or pay up?

You're sick—do you go to the clinic, or pop some painkillers and tough it out?
Every daily struggle, unexpected emergency, and moral dilemma boils down to a simple swipe left or right!

Your Worst Nightmare: A Pile of Bills

Utilities, student loans, the mortgage, insurance, medical bills...

They loom over you like the Grim Reaper. You have to walk a tightrope, balancing your health, wealth, dignity, and family.

To pay tomorrow's bills, you'll have to make tough calls today.

Being broke breaks the best of us.

Selling blood plasma, becoming a human guinea pig for drug trials, pawning your wife's jewelry or your kid's baseball cleats...

What horrific things will you do just to make ends meet? Gangs, loan sharks, smuggling—when bankruptcy knocks at your door, will you cross the line into the criminal underworld?

Find work before you go under.

"Yeah, I'm secretly dealing prescription pills, but it's just to scrape together enough cash for a decent suit for next week's interview..."

Key Features:

• The Harsh Reality: Over 3,000 random events and 10+ different career paths let you experience the true struggles of a family on the brink of financial ruin.

Opis dotyczący treści dla dorosłych

Producenci opisują te treści w następujący sposób:

"This game strives for a realistic portrayal of a middle-class family's descent into unemployment. Throughout this journey, the protagonists inevitably confront severe real-world struggles, including alcohol and substance abuse, family neglect stemming from an addiction to cheap pornography, and self-harm. In their fight to make ends meet, they also witness the daily, life-or-death struggles of ordinary people on the margins of society. As a work reflecting genuine social phenomena, we believe these mature themes are essential to serve as a stark and sobering cautionary tale."
