Goal

Goal of the game is to loathe money and get better status in a capitalistic world. As you are climbing up the reputation ladder thanks to exploiting your work colleagues, people on the streets or even bosses, whose status is far bigger than anyones. As every capitalist would like, you want to stay on the top of the world and the only person standing in your way is Bridget, magnate of a corporation and owner of a luxury department store.  

Player

You can use a variety of attacks and items to climb the capitalist ladder. Melee attack for close combat without spending a penny. But if you want to play it safe, you can use your hard-earned money and use ranged attacks, which takes money from your stash. Another usage of your money by heavily exploiting passersby is shopping at a local merchant, who offers you equipable items. Those items are equal to your health, but the durability differs. The more you pay, the more it endures.
