Our take on Trader of the Night
Players may bounce off when the one-night deadline forces trading decisions to cover both the debt and taxes on profits. Those who want time to experiment with investments can hit a wall when failure to raise enough money leads to the player character's death.
What is Trader of the Night?
This horror stock-trading game gives the player a single night to cover a debt and taxes on trading gains.
Players trade fictional-company shares in several ways, receive dividend payments, and read in-game news for potential investment clues. The objective is to raise enough money before the deadline; failure results in the character’s murder. The game states that prior stock-market knowledge is unnecessary.
