About this game
You know what's going to happen. Now profit from it.
Second Chance at a Billion is a dark comedy roguelike where you travel back in time to trade real historical stock market data from 2000–2024. You know the dot-com crash is coming. You know 2008 will happen. You know exactly when to buy and when to run.
The only question is whether you can turn $10,000 into $1 billion before the SEC catches up with you.
How It Works
Each run spans two years of real market history. Your hedge fund boss sets escalating quarterly targets — $15K, $50K, $250K, all the way up to $1 billion. Miss a target and you're fired. Get too greedy and you're arrested. Survive both and you might just make history.
