You play as the insatiably greedy leader of an AI startup with one modest ambition: extract every last dollar on Earth.

Begin in your parents’ basement, farming loose change from ordinary plebeians. Reinvest the proceeds into compute, automation and hype, then work your way up to bilking businesses, politicians, venture capitalists and entire governments of their funds.

Pave forests and coastlines with data centres. Placate the increasingly paranoid masses and meet ever-rising shareholder expectations. Build the most advanced AI in history—not because humanity needs it, but because you can.

Escape the Underclass is a darkly satirical incremental strategy game about limitless growth, technological ambition and the sacred duty to increase shareholder value.

HI ALL,

I'm D'Arcy, a medical student and former software developer. I humbly present "Escape the Underclass", a game that satirizes aspiring tech executives and society's sentiments around AI.

I'm looking for feedback and was hoping to put the full version on Steam, possibly with a multiplayer mode. I've done multiple playthroughs of the full game (getting to a trillion dollars and beyond) but I'm looking for what others think? Feel free to be blunt: is it worth continuing/expanding on or should I head back to the drawing board?

Best,

D'Arcy
