About the game
Short description
Start in Mom's basement with $500 and a potato laptop. Launch memecoins (honest or otherwise), trade the trenches, gamble fictional chips at a parody casino and decorate nine homes on your way to a private island. A satirical crypto tycoon with zero real crypto.
Long description
Mom wants you out in 30 days. You have $500 and a dream.
Hopium Inc. is a satirical crypto tycoon and life sim. Start on a beanbag in Mom's basement, open your laptop and get rich the honest way, the dishonest way, or some deeply questionable mix of both. Then spend it all on lava floors, a koi pond and a wizard tower.
- Launch your own coin. Pick a chain, a theme and a hook, add features, then post memes, run raids and hire influencers through launch day. Every launch is scored by the crowd in The Trench Review. Build a legit project that pays out every night, or launch a larp: grow its reach, then decide exactly when to pull the rug — too late and The Commission comes knocking.
- Trade the trenches. Pumpr serves fresh memecoins every hour; read the holders, the volume and the signals (some of them lie). Markets has 43 tokens across 7 sectors with holders, team wallets, audits and token unlocks.
- The Lucky Degen Casino. Slots, coin flip, dice, plinko, roulette, crash and blackjack, played with fictional chips at real odds. The house always wins. Usually.
- Move on up. Nine homes, from Mom's basement to a private island. 352 pieces of furniture, 80 wallpapers and 69 floors — try any finish in build mode before you buy. TVs that really play, fish ponds, hot tubs and arcade machines you can use.
- Dress for success. A character creator and a wardrobe with hundreds of hairstyles, clothes, hats and accessories. Knight, pirate, chef or one very committed dinosaur.
- Run the show. Hire staff in 9 roles, research perks, take side gigs, finish daily quests and work through 8 chapters. Your in-game PC has 22 apps, including the Chirp social feed and three mini-games. Rival founders, bull and crash weeks, ransomware scares and a regulator who never sleeps.
- Four endings. Retire as a Legit Founder, a Launchpad Mogul, a Notorious Rugger or something in between. Every finished run gives your next one a head start.
Plus Steam achievements, Steam Cloud saves, original pixel art and its own chiptune soundtrack.
