The opulence! The artistry! The swag! Decorate your apartment to flex your material wealth! Nothing screams ‘success in life’ like a sleek designer couch and a weaponized robot vacuum to protect it from covetous intruders! Leave your friends in awe as you transform your apartment into a veritable Shangri-La of consumer products!
You will also be able to express yourself in the literal sense! How multifaceted!
Take on one of many roles with vastly different playstyles and embark on not-so-epic quests to score some sweet bonus points! Will you climb to the top of the corporate ladder as the Workaholic, scrounge up valuable artifacts as the Scavenger, or follow your horoscopes as the Mystic?
A brand-new engine allows for all sorts of new possibilities, including improved visuals, more fluid gameplay and a slew of other modern features. This cutting-edge technology will leave your eyeballs bulging from the excitement overflowing from your brain!
Just take a look at the animations in the Arcade!
