This splice of a not-quite-idle-game loop onto an RPG superstructure works surprisingly well. It bounces the player back and forth between a storefront where they make their money to a quest-filled overworld where they choose how to wield it to achieve their larger goals. Although the pacing of bouncing between these two halves of the game is a bit uneven at times, both sides are quite fun: shop-tending has just enough demands on your attention to stay engaging well into the endgame, while the overworld is impressively dense and layered for a relatively small game. Frankly, it's more fun to explore a city in Final Profit than in plenty of RPGs with thousands of times its budget.

I can't write a review of this without mentioning the writing, though. It is agonizingly poorly-edited. If you care at all about the correct use of commas or "its" versus "it's", playing this game will be a potent tooth-gritting exercise. It's not just a typo here or there—these mistakes permeate every corner of the extensive dialog, and completely wreck any immersion or attempt to take it seriously. Otherwise likable characters with compelling arcs end up looking like they were written by a middle schooler who lied about their age to sign up for AO3. With a good, thorough copy-edit pass I think this game could be something really magnificent, but as it stands I found it a struggle to push myself through the more text-heavy portions.
