Buy Self Made: Investment Life Sim PC key

Self Made: Investment Life Sim is a financial life simulator where money, relationships, reputation and health shape your story. You begin at 18 and choose whether to pursue an education or enter the workforce; each month brings new decisions. You can trade stocks and options, build companies and acquire real estate, while also pursuing relationships, raising a family and preparing your children to carry on your empire. Risky choices can draw SEC scrutiny, and market crashes can wipe out your wealth.

Trade the markets

You can trade more than 50 stocks across technology, healthcare, finance, energy, retail and other sectors. Study company fundamentals—including P/E ratios, dividend yields and earnings per share—follow the news and choose when to trade. Dynamic breaking news and macroeconomic shifts affect sector trends; an earnings calendar lets you trade around quarterly reports and after-hours price gaps. You can ride multi-year bull markets, protect your capital during crashes and unlock tips from questionable contacts, though using inside information risks getting caught.

YOLO Mode offers a week of high-stakes options trading, with prices based on the Black-Scholes model. Trade calls and puts, build multi-leg strategies and watch your portfolio change in real time. Achievements include Diamond Hands, and you can compete for a place in the Hall of Fame.

Build your empire

You can turn trading profits into businesses, property and influence. The game lets you:

• Start a company: design products, hire employees, invest in R&D and pursue an IPO.
• Build a real-estate portfolio: grow from starter rentals and laundromat portfolios to strip malls, golf courses and an eight-property hotel empire.
• Own a sports franchise: sign star players, improve your stadium and fill the seats.
• Launch a rocket company: complete orbital missions and compete for government contracts.
• Run a media empire: generate headlines, build an audience and control the narrative.
• Found a charity: address challenges in education, healthcare, climate and poverty.

You can also combine business interests, but manipulating stock prices with bogus headlines can attract regulatory attention. Investment properties provide rental income, and you can pursue several routes to prestige, including wealth, philanthropy and legendary status.

Live a life

Your balance sheet is only part of the story. You can meet 11 potential partners with distinct personalities, date, marry or face a costly divorce. Have children, shape their education and prepare them to inherit your empire; when eligible, you can choose an heir to continue the family dynasty.

Build a career from a fast-food job to an MBA, the corporate ladder and the executive suite. Spend your wealth on a home upgrade from a basement apartment to a penthouse, as well as sports cars, private jets and yachts. You can visit the casino in Atlantic City, while your lifestyle choices can shorten or extend your limited lifespan. A retro terminal aesthetic, diegetic office environments and satirical humor frame the simulation.

Face the consequences

Reckless decisions can lead to SEC investigations, evidence gathering, courtroom trials and fines. You choose your defense, from an overworked public defender to an elite legal team, and may spend years in Club Fed or somewhere worse. Market crashes can erase years of progress; forced liquidations may leave you trying to recover, with bankruptcy one bad bet away.
