About

Build your empire from a basement. Trade stocks, run companies, date, raise kids, dodge the SEC, and retire a legend — or go broke trying.

Start with nothing. End with everything — or nothing again.

Pick your character and the journey will begin at 18 with a single, defining choice: Academic pursuit or the immediate grind? Build your legacy from the ground up as you navigate the complexities of adulthood.

Will you build a family empire where your children become your most trusted executives? Or will your parenting choices limit their potential? In this life sim, the "right upbringing" is the difference between an Ivy League CEO and a missed opportunity.

**Self Made **is a deep financial life simulation where every month is a decision. Buy low, sell high, start a business, get married, raise kids, go to prison — the American Dream has never been this volatile.
