It's Only Money is a 3rd person open world simulation game where you take the role of an Undercity resident – someone who's been forced to live amongst the sewers and subways by the newly elected evil Mayor.

Along with other Undercity residents, you will venture to the surface to steal, fight and destroy. Take down corporations owned by the Mayor’s corrupt cohorts. Win back the city for everyone, block by block. Buy houses, businesses, clothes, cars and whatever else your materialistic heart desires. Play alone or bring up to three friends to share in the chaos.

Rockhaven is your playground. Travel around the city and discover new shops, houses, activities and missions to complete. Use items and abilities to exploit the open world to your liking: pickpocket the rich, lockpick cars and steal their contents, or hotwire them and take a joyride. Get into fights with the local police department, or simply tour the city and enjoy the fine dining at a Mayor Mart. Whatever.

Be the low-life, live the high life.

Firestoke and Usual Suspects are excited to announce that their off-the-wall, third-person open world simulation, It’s Only Money, will be exiting Steam Early Access for a full release on Steam on October 14th and that a new demo to try it out is available now!

The new demo, dubbed It’s Only Money: Minimum Wage Edition, offers around 45-60 minutes of gameplay, including the whole tutorial to introduce you to the game’s key mechanics and 15 minutes of free play once the tutorial is completed. Throughout your 15 minutes of playing, you’ll be offered up random odd jobs that aim to funnel you into experiencing one of the many things Rockhaven has to offer. For each job, you’ll be rewarded with cash that you can spend on clothes, weapons, car mods and more, but most importantly, you’ll be graded at the end of the 15 minutes based on how much money you make. Based on your grade, you’ll unlock some sweet stuff in the full version of It’s Only Money if you decide to check it out! We encourage you to play through the demo as many times as you like, engage with a bunch of random jobs to experience the various systems and features within the game, or just ignore them in general and go for a cruise.

During its Early Access phase, It’s Only Money has steadily been adding a host of new features. There are new side Hustles like Metro Dungeon, a rougelite combat experience and WTF3K, a drone racing challenges, epic ‘Takeover’ missions, improved combat systems and much more.

“We’re really excited to release It’s Only Money on October 14th and to release the demo now to allow people to visit Rockhaven and see what it has to offer,” said Aaron Alexander, Co-Founder of Usual Suspects. “There’s a wealth of chaotic possibilities in the game and we’re confident that once people play with some of those in the Minimum Wage Edition demo, they will want to come back for more!”

As you steal enough money from the wealthy scumbags who stole it from you, use it to purchase homes and businesses. When you buy houses, you can move people back out of the Undercity and back to their rightful place on the surface. Decorate their living quarters to their liking, and the new tenants will provide gameplay buffs and items to help the cause.

Managing a business will provide a steady stream of income, and open up new gameplay possibilities. You know, like running a snail racing emporium. Your best slimes outrun the salt and make you rich. Well, less poor at least.

It's Only Money can be played with 3 other friends (or randoms). Steal together, fight together, complete missions together or just hang out in a club and gamble. If you're feeling competitive, why not engage in various PvP microgames, such as Prop Hunt, where you disguise yourself as couches, fence posts, garbage cans or whatever you can find in the street. Think of it as hide and seek for your inner shapeshifter.

It’s a sandbox of low-life fun with a purpose – revenge and retrieval. Punish the Mayor, steal back Rockhaven. Just make sure you enjoy the ride.

It's Only Money is coming to PC (Steam) on October 14, 2024.
