About 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.

Features

  • Trade real historical S&P 500 stocks using actual OHLC price data

  • Choose your starting year — ride the dot-com boom, short the 2008 crash, buy crypto before it moons

  • Escalating quarterly targets with a meta-progression unlock tree

  • SEC attention system — your returns are suspicious, and someone's watching

  • Illegal actions: insider trading, front running, fake news, money laundering, and worse

  • 16 Steam achievements with equippable titles that change how you play

  • Roguelite progression — each run unlocks new tools, leverage, and passive income streams

  • Adjustable game speed from 0.5x to 10x
