The free demo of Net Worthless goes live on this page on July 31.
It's the Student run, the opening of the game, about an hour or two of play. He's just arrived in the city with a simple dream: land a decent job or build up some starting net worth. Will you be able to do it?
Before you ask:
- Same systems and same balance as the full game.
- Playable in 11 languages.
- Your save won't carry over to the full game, but you'll probably want to start as another character on release anyway.
If something breaks or feels wrong, there's a report-a-bug button right in the menu. I read every report, and there's still time to fix things before release.
See you on the 31st.

The trigger counted hours you cannot actually schedule, so the heaviest debuff in the game was sitting there unreachable, and if it had fired, it would have landed with no explanation. It has a proper entrance now. · Runn…Your job now has events of its ownBuild 0.5.1708. Most of this one is your job. Events used to happen to you regardless of what you did for a living. A barista and a CTO got the same month. Three of the jobs you can hold in the demo now have events written only for them, forty four in total, with their own art, and they only draw while you actually work there. · The coffee counter, the rideshare wheel, the IT help desk.
