About This Game

Debt Wish is an incremental finance sim about leverage. You start with a hundred dollars and some risky lines of credit.  Buy stocks and crypto, short the ones you do not believe in, and keep a watchlist of the ones you are waiting on. Sit cash in bonds. Buy property and hire someone to manage it and grow your passive income streams. Credit scales with your net worth, so the better you do the more rope you get. Past a billion you can borrow against your stock without selling it. Certain people start returning your calls once you are worth enough. The jobs pay well and every one of them increases your heat. Enough heat and the SEC starts watching, if they pay you a visit you suffer the consequenses.  Fund private companies from seed through Series C. Carry one all the way and it lists on the market as a position you can trade.] Found your own fund, take investors money and charge for the service. Hire analysts to call the moves early and traders to manage money for you. Blackjack, roulette, crash, and coin flips can be the fastest money in the game if you're lucky. Contracts rewrite the rules of a run. Charters change how one starts. Finish a charter and the next one opens. The number goes up until there is nothing left to buy, and then you find out what is on the other side.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Debt Wish is a satire of high finance. It contains no sexual content, no nudity, and no depictions of violence, sexual assault, or self-harm.

Players should be aware of the following:

Simulated gambling. The game includes a casino with playable blackjack, a coin-flip wager, and a multiplier "crash" game. It also includes randomized item unlocks purchased as sight-unseen storage auction units, with rarity odds displayed before each purchase. All of these use in-game currency only. There are no in-app purchases, no way to buy in-game currency with real money, and nothing in the game can be cashed out.

Depictions of financial crime and market manipulation. As satire, the game lets players run insider trading, pump-and-dump schemes, bribery, and smear campaigns against rival firms, with regulatory investigations and a career-ending enforcement action as the consequence.

Debt, bankruptcy, and financial ruin. Loans, compounding interest, leverage, foreclosure, rug pulls, and the total loss of a run are core mechanics.

Mild profanity and crude humor. Satirical news headlines, company names, and in-game events include occasional coarse language and irreverent adult humor.

References to drugs and alcohol. Some headlines, company names, and events reference drug and alcohol use as part of the game's satire of finance culture. Nothing is depicted or simulated in gameplay.
