Rent ratchets every month. Working harder only feeds it. The only way out is the one Elizabeth Magie built into the board in 1904 — organize, and change where the rent goes.
Same lesson as the 1904 board and the whole story: the fix was never working harder.

You've got a wallet, four hours a day after work, and a landlord whose software raises the rent every month. Grind and you'll last a while — but the ratchet always wins that race. To actually get out, you have to build enough tenant power to change the rules. Survive long enough to organize the whole building.
A short roguelike — a run takes a few minutes. Every landlord plays a little meaner.
