The mechanics of Cash were built on the familiar scaffolding of a traditional 2D RPG, but with a unique twist: every core system was designed to teach the principles of financial literacy. Concepts like money, purchasing power, income, savings, investments, debt, interest rates, and inflation were woven directly into the gameplay loop.

Money acted as the central axis of the game. Players could earn income in multiple ways: completing missions, defeating enemies and selling items, taking loans from the bank, or generating passive income through investments. This transversal mechanic ensured that the way each player managed resources drastically shaped their game experience. Good decisions made the journey smoother, while poor financial choices added new layers of challenge.

To keep the experience authentic, we introduced pitfalls that mirrored real-world risks. Some opportunities were simply too good to be true, scams that tested the player’s judgment.

But because the heart of the game was never about greed, every mission was designed around the idea of value creation. Progress came from helping communities, solving problems, and making the world a better place. In this way, the financial system became both a mechanic and a moral compass, transforming the game into a playful yet powerful lesson in financial responsibility.
