Worth the Cost

About the Game

Starting college should be your first step toward independence—finding a job, earning money, and supporting your family. But when life at home gets worse, survival is no longer enough. A strange new job offers more money than anything else available… but it comes with difficult choices.

As you get deeper into this world, you decide who you become: someone who manipulates and controls others, or someone who builds trust and genuine connections.

How much are you willing to sacrifice for a better life?

Will you be satisfied with earning enough to live comfortably, or will the pursuit of money, influence, and power push you further than you ever imagined?

How far will your ambition take you—and what will it cost?
