When the stock market crashes and your portfolio plunges into red, how deep do we go... wait, why is my trading terminal blocked by a smug AI assistant?!

A comedic exploration mini-game with visual novel-style dialogue.
You play as Nita – a trader at Morally GrayStone Corp whose usual morning routine is disrupted by a sudden market collapse and the awkward integration of an overly opinionated corporate AI.

Talk to your colleagues, find clues, and convince AIris to unlock your trading terminal — before the margin calls stampede.

Movement: WASD

Interact: E

Check your phone for objectives!

If you are playing in browser, recommended to play on itch.io as it has correct resolution set in webview.

P.S.: as usual, some content left unfinished. We will add post-jam update with additional character sprites, improve level ambience, sounds and balancing. We just need a bit of sleep, that's all...

For a first game it's a fantastic step in the right direction! You show good knowledge of game interactions as well as witty writing! If there were more to do in the game other than press E and read then this would be a wonderful game! Keep it up!

This game felt too real! The writing was witty and the art was also quite nice. Overall I enjoyed playing!

The portrait art looks really nice, and the writing gave me a few good laughs! The random news popups were particularly funny. Nice work!

Cool art, just like in your previous games😊
Loved the atmosphere of downfall! I wonder how long it takes to lose all money?)

Some moments genuinely made me laugh - like the statements from different countries' representatives and that hole in the window! Also, the company status (or overall market?) info was a brilliant touch)

Ughh... This game hits too close to home with the whole scenario of the stock market today! Too soon! The whole vibe about rogue AIs and the stock market crashes, just feels way too close to heart here.

So cute anime ladies, trading terms and funny jokes, and overall great vibe with interesting writing? Love it. Seriiously a fun time.

Neat idea, interesting and fun story. I really liked the concept that ai is drawn by ai

Also, you lost ANOTHER BANANA

the idea is interesting, and the pixel art of the girls is nice

Nice take of the theme. Funny story. Very clever. And I agree with everyone else: awesome pixelart of the characters.

We also put a Mariana trench reference in our game, lol (literaly a Mariana's trench coat easter egg).
Love the wiggling hair on our character's chibi. Well written. Interesting approach of the theme, enhanced by excessive use of 'deep' and 'depths' words xD (we did it too). Very fun. Wonderfull art and music. Thank you for not colliding Nita with the office furnitures. Good Job!

I don't understand economics, so I went through the story without understanding much other than the fact that the AI ​​was getting in the way a lot.

Cute. I really liked the big sprites.

Congratulations on the work. I hope you were able to sleep.

Beautiful art, funny jokes :) It's cool that you guys managed to add quite a lot of mechanics, a dialogue system, quests, pop-up windows, in short, good job!

I got a good laugh paying this one. The "depths" of morals in banking is a neat twist. The character map sprites were well designed. The CFO shaped hole was a nice touch.

why banana not work? Banana always the answer!

Love the dialogue and great art!

Exceptionally good dialogue and lots of background lore which was fun to read!

I would like to file one complaint though: Someone dropped a second banana on the same table and I couldn't pick it up for some reason. Must be my sweaty hands from all the stress dealing with Airis.

R.I.P CFO ⚰️

It's a nice interactive story. Standout writing and a very polished art style too. Well done!

The background soundtrack goes unreasonably hard sometimes :) But I guess that fits the absurdity of the real-life inspired story.

Hello everyone and thank you for playing!

Sorry it took so long, we've been bughunting and fixing the most important stuff for like two weeks. In the first day it felt it would take "two hours, three at most", but god damn we did find a lot of breaking bugs.

So, we've uploaded fixed build v1.10. Polishing, hotfixes, typo fixing, fixing broken animations, bringing back missing sprites, adding back accidentally removed dialogue, removing dialogue that should not have been triggered and so on.

We're still planning on Post-LD patch with actually new features, so stay tuned!

Overall, this is a really nice entry! I love the vibes and music, they fit well with the dialogue. It's super polished, and the transition from dialogue to walking around was nice! I like that there is stuff to explore, even if most people in game seem to hate their jobs haha!

I also really like the art, the characters look cute in dialogue but they are ADORABLE in game haha.

Well done! I think a longer, post jam story/version would be really cool too!

Impressive, very nice! Let's see Morally GrayStone Corp game.

Look at that subtle humorous writing with references to current events.

The tasteful pixel-art of it.

Oh my God! It even has a results screen in credits!

Отличная игра, прошёл на BB ранг! Не знаю, правильно ли я заметил, или это случайность, что вот полоска потерянных денег замедляется и никогда не достигает конца. Если так, то это отличный ход, держит в напряжении. Был момент, когда хотелось дропнуть (в момент перехода на другой этаж, когда увидел ещё один такой же этаж и представил, что снова придётся бегать по этажу, но пересилил себя и дальше нормально закончил). Тут хотелось бы смены локации, или смены геймплея в этом моменте. А так, много жизненных гэгов и атмосфера falling down.
