With a unique character preferences system and an inflation-driven economy, the game simulates the financial experience of different people in the modern world.
Features
Colony Sim-Style Management - Set priorities for your characters and watch them fulfill their desires. You make the important decisions like where to work, live and study.
Character Preferences - Be an ambitious investment banker with a paperwork allergy, or a struggling single parent with a shopping addiction. The unique preferences system offers a variety of "what-ifs" to play out.

Multi-Person Household - Manage multiple characters in one household. Run a bachelor pad, nuclear family, student share house or hobo camp.

Multi-Generational - Your characters will age from birth to death and accumulate status conditions as they go through life.

Skills and Education - Multiple organic routes to qualify for a job, whether through experience, education or a combination of both.

Cycles within cycles - Industries will go through their own booms and busts so consider your options carefully. Manufacturing jobs might pay higher wages while electricity prices are decreasing at the same time.
