Sava Beric and Ahamed Inhaam, the duo development team behind Fenyx Digital, are thrilled to announce their latest pixel-art narrative game- The Money Man. In this choice-driven dystopian strategy sim set in a decaying, sealed-off future New York, players are challenged to survive in a high-stakes criminal underworld, where spotting counterfeit bills becomes a matter of life or death. A demo for the game will be available on Steam soon.



Under New Management
One hundred years ago, the wealthy abandoned Earth for the pristine colonies of Mars. They left behind a rotting New York City, now cordoned off so nobody can get in or out. In this sealed-off city, the boroughs have been claimed by ruthless crime families. When tragedy strikes and someone you love is strapped for cash, you bargain with one of these crime families for help. Now, your job is to scan bills in the back of a speakeasy until you pay back every cent.

On top of it all, the gates to Mars reopen just eleven days into your new job, bringing in a flood of strange, new currency into the city - if you're not smart about it, it'll be your life, or the life of the one you love, on the line.


Unforgiving Business
Every day, debtors arrive to pay what they owe to the crime family. Real money needs to go into the vault, and counterfeits must be caught - or it's you who answers for it. Your task is to inspect the cash using a variety of tools at your desk.

Use a scanner to inspect serial numbers and portraits more closely, or set the bill on the Uv plate or under regular light to see how the bill reacts. You also have your handy notebook and a ledger at your disposal to cross-check anything you find suspicious.

Between shifts, you're free to leave your desk to socialize. Stroll through the speakeasy to gather rumors and chat with patrons for useful intel. Using the information you gather, you'll find it easier to spot who's a liar and who is being truthful when they pass bills to you.


How Far Are You Willing to Go?
You have 31 days to navigate this world and escape. Every morning, you'll sit down and decide who walks out clean and who gets ruined. The choices you make in-game will determine which of the nine endings you experience.

Will you stay loyal to the mob and pay your debt or become an informant for the police? Will you make your escape to Mars? Even one change could alter your ending.

Play The Demo
A playable demo of The Money Man will be available on Steam in early August. The upcoming demo will allow players to sit down to master their tools and experience a tense prequel to the main story with its own branching story and moral dilemmas with New York's desperate debtors.
