About
A stock-themed roguelike deckbuilder where the market is both your playground and your opponent. Unlike traditional card games, your own success is dangerous—push stock prices too high with powerful combos, and volatility will spiral out of control, bankrupting your run.
Story
Survival is the only goal in a brutal economy. You are a trader fighting against rampant inflation and strict corporate contracts. Every Friday marks a deadline: hit your wealth target to renew your contract, or face termination and lose everything.
Gameplay
Each day, you draw 10 cards that directly influence a shared stock price chart. You must decide whether to 'Trade' (buy heavily and ride the wave you create) or 'Skip' (collect tokens for upgrades). The core loop involves managing the volatility meter—making your deck too strong can accidentally crash the market.
Key Features
- 1Market Control System: Cards directly manipulate a real-time stock graph
- 2120+ Unique Cards: Draft assets across 12 distinct card types
- 3Combo Mechanics: Chain 5 adjacent cards of the same type for double effects
- 4Risk vs. Greed: Success creates volatility that can end your run
- 550+ Perks: Synergies and 'cursed' items that alter gameplay rules
- 6Weekly Contracts: 20-day runs broken into high-pressure 5-day weeks
- 7Dynamic Events: Adapt to recessions, bull markets, and crashes
