Overview

Second Chance at a Billion is a unique dark comedy roguelike simulation that thrusts players into the high-stakes world of historical stock market trading. Armed with the knowledge of future market movements from 2000 to 2024, your goal is to transform an initial $10,000 into a staggering $1 billion.
