Independent developer Naiive has released the biggest demo update yet for Insider Trading, the Wall Street-inspired roguelike deckbuilder where you bend the stock market to your will. The demo is available now on Steam and introduces new characters, new cards, and significant system overhauls that deepen strategy and replayability.

The new demo more than doubles the card pool, unlocking new strategies and deck combos, while ten unique pills add sharp mid-run pivots. New characters bring their own mechanics and starting hands, and Hard Mode raises the stakes. Reworked events and perks keep you chasing rallies while bracing for dips.



Community Momentum
The demo holds a 97% Very Positive rating on Steam with nearly 500 reviews. Coverage from streamers like Northernlion and steady player engagement point to a growing audience ahead of the full release.


Insider Trading is a stock-themed roguelike deckbuilder where the market you create can just as easily crush you. Stack synergies, trigger price swings, and take control so your own momentum won't bankrupt you. Success comes from market manipulation and not just watching prices go up.
