About This Game

Final Profit is a merchant life-sim RPG with an underlying critique of capitalism.

It’s an RPG with no combat, instead you’ll earn XP through profit made while running your shop. The gameplay starts out simply as you take your first steps into the world of business, but gradually builds more complexity and interconnectivity as you progress, unlock, and upgrade new avenues to make money!

There’s also a strong focus on story, with a rich narrative and plenty of humour. And many choices along the way that change how your shop develops.

Manage your shop, make investments, and explore a world full of secrets as you work to earn enough coin to take down the corrupt Bureau of Business!

You are Queen Mab, exiled from the lands of the Fae because of your radical plan to save the realm from financial predators. The Fae Council thinks attempting to defeat the Bureau of Business at their own game is an insane ploy with no hope of success.

Prove them wrong.

Starting with nothing, assume the alias of Madama Biz as you accumulate wealth and influence to climb the ranks until you become a Lord of Business!

But you’ll need more than just money. Seek out allies to help overcome the danger, traps, and colossal debt the Bureau has in store for you.

• Will you manage to save your people?
• How much are you willing to compromise?
• Or will you lose sight of your goal entirely and become a ruthless agent of capitalism?

Reviews

“It has the cozy vibes, collectibles, a great soundtrack, and a variety of terrain and puzzles to explore, not to mention several humorous quips. Also, chickens? Do yourself a favor and say hi to the chickens. IYKYK.”
10/10 – The Neurodivergent Gamer

“With cozy vibes, retro sprite work, plenty of puzzles, addictive gameplay, and a mystery at the heart of it all, Final Profit: A Shop RPG proves itself as a memorable and impressive experience from a solo developer. It’s the kind of game that will especially satisfy goal-oriented players with a deep love of detail and micromanagement.”
SUPERJUMP

“By changing the rules of a traditional RPG, you have an experience that forces you to think outside the box to succeed. You can level up and boost your stats, but how do you use your magic to earn money? How do you procure your next product or unlock the next customer? How do you increase profits when everything is fully upgraded? The questions are difficult, but finding the solution on your own gives you a true sense of accomplishment.”
