FROM THE MUD is a come-up life simulator. You start broke with a ticking life clock, and every action spends a day. Turn pocket change into an empire before time runs out. - Grind the block: buy low, grade your product, flip it or put runners on it. - Build a music career: cop beats, drop singles, press CDs, sling merch, earn royalties. - Play the market: a live, volatile in-game crypto market and a buy-low sell-high pawn game. - Go legit: buy businesses and real estate for passive income every single day. - Beat the clock: better housing, food, and insurance buy back years of life. - Achievements, save/continue, and a full run recap when your time runs out. Everything is fictional. All currency is virtual and cannot be cashed out.
