Games Like Net Worthless

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:

🧭 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

Satire aimed at crypto bros, info-grifters, hustle culture, and the impossibility of buying a home in the 2020s, wrapped around a merciless economy.

Get rich. Or at least don't die tryin'.
