About
Twelve years ago you had the girl, the boxing career, the big talk. Now you're heavier, broke, your kid barely knows you, and your wife stays because she's got nowhere else to go. Earn It starts you at the bottom and asks what you're willing to do to climb back out.
The city offers plenty to a man who stops going straight home, and the tech firm you're working your way into gets shadier the higher you go. You can try to save the marriage or take what's around you instead, chase your old ambitions or trade them for something else. Nothing here gets handed over. You work the job, work the house, and work the city, and every gain comes with a cost attached, told through text and choices rather than cutscenes.
Changelog
v0.3.0 - Ring-A-Ding
- New location: Ring-A-Ding, a strip club on the canal path. Open early to late evening. Drinks, stage shows and private dances.

- Helion team nights at Ring-A-Ding after a shipped release, on the company card.
- Your friend knows the place too.
