One life. Month by month. No do-overs.
Net Worthless is a turn-based strategy game — except you're not building an empire, just running one thoroughly average life. One turn — one month.🎭 Choose your path
It all starts with picking a character, and it's not just a skin. Each archetype is its own game,with its own starting conditions, goal, and deadline.
One wants to make a first fortune; another, to buy out the company that laid him off;
a third, to become a world-famous actress. Different starts, different ceilings, different paths.
🗓️ Plan ahead
You don't control your character in real time. You plan how the next 30 days play out:hours of sleep, hours at the desk job, hours at the gym, hours studying, hours doomscrolling.
But Lady Luck, as we all know, has her own plans for your plans.
📊 This is an economic simulator
You'll have to deal with all the joys of adult life:- Inflation that eats your nest egg faster than you can refill it.
- Loans, payday loans, and debt collectors who have your number on speed dial.
- A market that never stops storming.
- The choice: take a side gig and burn out completely, or save your sanity and skip lunch.
🧭 The game sets the rules, you choose the path
The game hands you systems and rules, but it won't tell you what's right.Spoiler: there's no single right way. Slog away at three jobs, play the market, or just coast.
Every action is a trade: you swap time for money, money for health, health for sanity. Nothing grows for free.
Nobody holds your hand or flags the best move.
💀 Iron Will mode
For anyone who doesn't like save-scumming. The game saves once, at the end of the month, after every event has resolved. One slot, no backups.Reloading won't undo a bad deal or a sudden illness. You live with what you chose.
This isn't difficulty for its own sake. It's honesty.
🔒 The game belongs to you
- Fully offline. No launchers, no server tethers, no "always online."
- Zero telemetry. The game collects nothing about you and sends nothing anywhere. Want to share your story? Leave a review or make a video, we're all for it. But it's your call.
- Tiny footprint, runs on minimal specs. It'll even run on a potato.
Satire aimed at crypto bros, info-grifters, hustle culture, and the impossibility
of buying a home in the 2020s, wrapped around a merciless economy.
