About This Game



Your paddle is a stock candle. Every coin you hit is fresh capital. Pay old investors with new money, keep suspicion under control and buy time against the SEC.

A finite incremental in the spirit of Universal Paperclips. The first win takes 2 to 4 hours. Then there are the endings you have not seen yet.









The Case, the SEC investigation, climbs all game long. At 100% the raid comes and takes the scheme. What you kept offshore survives: your assets, the prestige tree, your recruits and the escape plan.

Slow it down if you can. Stay under the radar, hire public defenders, buy silence. Or cash out hot and hope.



Five endings, from the island to the courthouse steps. Before you vanish, your last client asks for the money back. Three endings unlock a modifier for the next run, up to the Aggressive Regulator, the hard mode.
