About This Game

One life. Month by month. No do-overs.

Net Worthless is a turn-based strategy game — except you're not building an empire, just running one thoroughly average life. One turn — one month.

🎭 Choose your path

It all starts with picking a character, and it's not just a skin. Each archetype is its own game,
with its own starting conditions, goal, and deadline.
One wants to make a first fortune; another, to buy out the company that laid him off;
a third, to become a world-famous actress. Different starts, different ceilings, different paths.

🗓️ Plan ahead

You don't control your character in real time. You plan how the next 30 days play out:
hours of sleep, hours at the desk job, hours at the gym, hours studying, hours doomscrolling.
But Lady Luck, as we all know, has her own plans for your plans.

📊 This is an economic simulator

You'll have to deal with all the joys of adult life:

• Inflation that eats your nest egg faster than you can refill it.
  
• Loans, payday loans, and debt collectors who have your number on speed dial.
  
• A market that never stops storming.
  
• The choice: take a side gig and burn out completely, or save your sanity and skip lunch.

🧭 The game sets the rules, you choose the path

The game hands you systems and rules, but it won't tell you what's right.
Spoiler: there's no single right way. Slog away at three jobs, play the market, or just coast.
Every action is a trade: you swap time for money, money for health, health for sanity. Nothing grows for free.
Nobody holds your hand or flags the best move.

💀 Iron Will mode

For anyone who doesn't like save-scumming. The game saves once, at the end of the month, after every event has resolved. One slot, no backups.
Reloading won't undo a bad deal or a sudden illness. You live with what you chose.
This isn't difficulty for its own sake. It's honesty.

🔒 The game belongs to you

• Fully offline. No launchers, no server tethers, no "always online."
  
• Zero telemetry. The game collects nothing about you and sends nothing anywhere. Want to share your story? Leave a review or make a video, we're all for it. But it's your call.
  
• Tiny footprint, runs on minimal specs. It'll even run on a potato.

Satire aimed at crypto bros, info-grifters, hustle culture, and the impossibility
of buying a home in the 2020s, wrapped around a merciless economy.

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

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Some of the visual assets in Net Worthless are created with the help of generative AI tools. All AI-generated content is reviewed, curated, and edited by our team before it ships.
The game’s localizations into other languages are produced with the assistance of AI translation, based on a human-authored English source text and reviewed for quality.
No generative AI is used at runtime — all content is created during development and ships as fixed assets. The game makes no network calls and is fully offline.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

The game includes:
Mature/satirical themes — burnout, depression, money troubles, debt-collector harassment, and the death of your character from old age or poor health. These are conveyed through text and abstract stats, not graphic imagery.
Depictions of alcohol use — such as social drinking.
Mild language — occasional crude or strong language.
Non-graphic depictions of violence — for example, intimidation by a debt collector, shown through text without blood, gore, or graphic detail.
Speculative financial mechanics — investing in stocks, crypto, and businesses with random gains and losses. These are economic systems, not gambling, and involve no real money.
The game contains no sexual content or nudity, no graphic violence, and no microtransactions, ads, online play, or chat. It is fully offline.
