Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The core investing loop — real-time trading, news, charts, skill growth, lifestyle, and endings — is complete and playable. We're launching in Early Access to tune balance with real players (tier thresholds, season difficulty, skill value) and refine wording across languages, building the 1.0 together with the community.

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate roughly 6–12 months, adjustable based on balance stabilization and content expansion (additional markets/events).

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Planned: refined balance, expanded content (more markets, stocks, events, achievements), quality-of-life improvements, and added polish (presentation, sound). We aim to keep saves compatible and will announce any major balance overhaul.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“You can play the full loop from start to ending. It includes a real-time market of 46 stocks; buy/sell/short/leverage; news and charts; 11 tiers with leagues and seasons; a skill tree; lifestyle spending with a four-quadrant persona; and four endings (Legend, Trillion Club, Hangang, Loan Shark). Playable in English and Simplified Chinese.

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. As we expand content, we plan to raise the price at the 1.0 launch. Early Access buyers keep the full game at no extra cost.

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Yes. We gather feedback on balance, difficulty, and translation wording via Steam discussions and community channels, and share what we change through patch notes. We especially welcome input on tier thresholds, season difficulty, and per-language naturalness.

About This Game

You start with one million won.

The day you leave the orphanage, all you hold is a resettlement grant and a single windowless room — plus a notice for a 20-trading-day seed-money contest. No background, no connections, no inside track. Your judgment is the only weapon.

Judgment IS the gameplay.

Read the order books and charts of 46 stocks in a market that ticks in real time. React to breaking news, analyze the candles, and time your buys, sells, short sells, and leverage. Not a dry teaching app, not a detached tycoon fantasy — the actual process of making an investment call IS the mechanic.

Grow like an ARPG.

Every trade earns XP. Spend skill points across a tree of Market Sense, Trading, Analysis, and Portfolio nodes. Sharpen your eye for chart patterns and learn to move faster than the news.

What you buy is who you are.

Profit isn't just a number. Move from a windowless room to a studio, from a downtown high-rise to a penthouse, and finally to a private island — your home and status change one rung at a time. What you spend on shapes a four-quadrant persona (Lavish <-> Frugal, Self <-> Social), and that coordinate decides your ending and title.

Two summits, one abyss.

Cash out ₩100 billion for the Legend ending (Route A), or break ₩1 trillion in total assets mid-session for the Trillion Club ending (Route B). But the climb runs both ways: blow up your account and you're relegated to the amateur league; fall below ₩10,000 and it's the Hangang ending. There's no floor — but there is a river.

Leagues & seasons.

Eleven tiers from Bronze to Legend. Each season runs 20 trading days, and your season gains become next season's seed — compounding upward. How far you beat the market index — your alpha — is carved into your career.
