This game takes place in AD 2060. Let me first explain the big and small scientific events that have taken place. Year 2020 Virtual reality became widespread, and its related technologies developed rapidly. Year 2025 "Virtual reality commute system became universalized, and VR game and porn addiction became a serious problem." Year 2030 "Artificial intelligence surpassed human intelligence, taking jobs away from people in many industries." "Universalization of technology that connects human brain to computers allowed to handle all things by thought alone" Year 2035 "Space bases were built on the moon and Mars, and so were research institutes, like the ones now in Antartica." "The world was united into one, and languages went extinct due to the technology that allows communication through thought transreceivers." Year 2040 All parts of body and organs could now be reproduced and transplanted. "Humans were no longer mortal, and the lookism completely vanished, as all body parts could now be remodeled." Year 2045 "Humans, conquering death and all diseases, began to suffer from depression." "A Chinese astronaut came into contact with aliens, but it was hard to communicate with them, due to aliens' lack of appropriate science and technology." Year 2050 "Memory could now be synchronized with devices while sleeping, allowing it to be saved/loaded whenever necessary." Even those who died by accident could revive by reloading the saved data. "People who were tired of long lives chose to create their own virtual world to live in, or to go into a deep sleep that lasts for hundreds of years" Year 2055 "Natural disasters occurred frequently due to the global warming, causing most island nations to disappear into the sea." "Humans could now communicate with aliens, and space travel became widespread." Year 2060 "The Earth is full of immortal human beings and is now deprived of resources to support them- including food, land and water." No great scientific advancement could overcome the power of nature. Earth no longer is a good planet to live in So… The mankind once again strive to find the alternative, using science and technology "A journey now begins in search of food and resources, for migration to a different planet." Along with the best scientists and farmers! Let's build the second homeland of mankind by producing food and collecting resources from the barren Mars! The future of the Earth lies on your hands!

Start in a shoebox room with a bed, a desk and big dreams. Work shifts, stack side jobs, invest your cash and climb the housing ladder all the way to Landlord. Your money keeps growing even while the app is closed. FROM SHOEBOX ROOM TO LANDLORD Climb a 9-step housing ladder: Shoebox Room, Basement Unit, Rooftop Shack, Studio Rental, Downtown Loft, Family Apartment, Brick House, Riverview Condo and finally Landlord. Every new home raises your income multiplier, and every move-in comes with a little story from the neighbors. EARN WHILE YOU SLEEP Your side jobs keep working when you put the phone down. Come back to offline earnings, a daily clock-in bonus and fresh missions. 8 SIDE HUSTLES Thrift Flipping, Food Delivery, Review Blogger, Online Shop, YouTube Channel, Sticker Artist, Freelance App Dev and Startup Founder. Level them up and hit milestones at Lv.20, 50 and 100 to double their income. INVEST YOUR CASH Split your money between savings, stocks and crypto. Watch the market news, ride a surge or get out before a crash. Savings are steady, crypto is wild. HOUSING NEWS EVENTS Real renter life, as mini choices: a landlord sitting on your security deposit, a surprise rent hike text, a roommate dishes war, a 3 a.m. upstairs neighbor, foreclosure auctions and bidding wars. Every choice can pay off or backfire. ENDLESS REDEVELOPMENT Reached Landlord? That is not the end. Redevelop and start over with all income permanently doubled each time, and the ladder keeps growing above Landlord with new buildings and towers. Pick a district with its own rules for each run. PROPERTY PORTFOLIO Collect 24 building cards across 6 districts, one card every redevelop. Complete sets for bigger district bonuses. Draw odds are shown in the game, and cards are never sold for money. WEEKLY CHALLENGE A separate 7-day run with rules that change every week. Start from the Shoebox Room and see how far you get. The higher you climb, the more cards you earn for your main game. MAKE IT HOME Collect limited decor for every stage, upgrade your side-job manager, and switch to home themes: Hanok Village, Night-View Penthouse or Seaside Villa. Themes change the art only, never your income. NO SIGN-UP Just open and play. Your progress is saved on your device. Rent Escape is a game. All money in it is game money, and nothing here is financial advice.
