BUY LOW SELL HIGH, LINE GOES UP, BIG GREEN NUMBERS, RRAHHHHHHH. Jokes aside, this game is very addictive, a very simplified version of the financial world but still fun, also although it said free mode I think the devs actually added some historical event/data into it as well because there is a bubble burst event in 1990 which actually happened irl, kinda neat. I have one feature that I hope will be added in the future and that is bonds, government/private sector bonds would be great, on how the devs gonna implement it I'll leave it up to them, also please buff rent cost, in game my house got burned and I ended up renting a house and goddamn the rent cost is so expensive like 10k yen/day expensive. Oh and also a SELL ALL feature would be great, I have like 600K shares at some point and it took me a whole year to sell all of them, as well as SORT and FILTER function in exchange would be amazing too.

This game inspired me to start investing in the stock market. Today, I'm a millionaire. Not because of my stocks. My friends and I robbed a bank after playing Payday 2. Still, my investments are doing very well, and this game is at least partly responsible for that. This is a very fun & easygoing game that really hits that particular "retro Japanese PC aesthetic" that I'm lucky enough to be familiar with. If you have even a casual interest in that aesthetic, stocks, or laid back gaming, this is the game for you.

Absolutely brilliant game, I haven't had this much fun since I played Sekiro, ~2 years ago! If the early access is this good, I am really excited for the full release. As someone who works in the finance industry and wanted to make a market sim. himself, I would like to provide some valuable feedback to the devs. which I feel will make the game more interesting: Having a balance sheet, income statement and cashflow statement for all the companies would be a great addition. Instead of meeting people at the bar and hoping for information on stock price movement, having few financial ratios and fundamental metrics will make for a more interesting play. While it may seem daunting to the new players to have so much information bombarded at them, the charts would move as a function of both the stock's metrics from the financial statements as well as the insider tips from bars, resulting in a richer gameplay. Interest on bank loans and charity donation should be tax-deductible because I didn't face any real penalty for being extremely unethical. This would allow players to use debt as capital expenditure to upgrade their own company. A company with bad debt/equity would be more volatile and susceptible to adverse market movements. Players should be given an option to use leverage, with the tax deductible debt and option to leverage, the players will have more bandwidth to siphon funds from the exchange to their own companies and result in more interesting plays. Each stock could be given a real 'Beta' as a volatility indicator, this makes sure that the market isn't heavily skewed to 1 stock, as this happened with my playthrough with 'Hardbank'. These are a few additions I believe would make the game more interesting to play, but it is absolutely a solid game and I've had a ton of fun playing this. Really hope the devs. see this, you've been doing an amazing job!
