About This Game

Life, billed monthly.

Net Worthless is a turn-based game about running one ordinary life like a small business that never quite breaks even. One turn is one month. You don't walk your character around town. You sit where they sit: in front of the plan, the bank balance, and the consequences.

Choose whose mess you inherit

It starts with picking a character. Each one is a different life with its own starting point, goal, and deadline: a student with more ambition than furniture, a laid-off office worker with a severance check and a grudge, and other people you might recognize from the mirror. Different constraints, different endings. In practice, a different game each run.

Plan the month, then watch it happen

Plan the next 30 days: hours of sleep, hours at the desk job, hours in the gym, hours learning to code, hours doomscrolling. Take the job offer or hold out for something better. Enroll in a course, invest, finally cancel the subscription you forgot you had. Then end planning and watch the month play out. Paydays drop in, bills drop out, and about once a quarter life interrupts with an event you didn't budget for.

The economy bites

Inflation compounds quietly while you sleep. Rent doesn't care how your month went, subscriptions keep charging until you notice them, and a balance below zero digs itself deeper on its own. When you feel lucky, there's a stock market full of parody companies like Snoogle, Charbucks and Nokla. It can beat your salary for a year, then take it all back in one red month. The numbers behave like the 2020s. Only the brands are made up.

Get rich. Or at least don't die tryin'.
