The Invisible Hand

Developed by Power Struggle Games and published by Fellow Traveller.

Welcome to FERIOS, the job of your dreams! Get rich as a mid-level stockbroker, where your only goal is to get as rich as you can, and damned be all the rest! Money is all that matters, and the rules don't apply when you're a winner; everything else is irrelevant. Take part in The Invisible Hand and earn all of these rewards and more, future employee-of-the-month!

Get rich... at any cost!

To stay ahead of the curve and get rich, no matter the consequences. As a brand-new employee for FERIOS working as a mid-level stockbroker, your single purpose in the company is to gain profit and earn as much money as you can. Poverty isn't your concern because you are doing important work, and it isn't your fault!

BUY, SELL, AND SHORT

To get rich, you're going to want to buy the rising stock and sell it before it lowers naturally... or something else makes it lower. The more you sell, the higher your commission will be — this is your only concern, as getting rich is your only goal. Sell, sell, sell at all costs and gain as much profit as you can.

MANIPULATE THE MARKET

Why play fair if you can play unfairly and win? Winners don't play by the rules, and neither should you. Take the opportunity to raise and lower stocks whenever possible by pulling the necessary strings. The unspeakable actions you'll take aren't so much so when you, and FERIOS, are profiting from them — at the end of the day, this is for the good of humanity. You are human, after all. Lower the currency of third-world countries to benefit from improving margins and do whatever it takes to succeed.

IT'S NOT INSIDER TRADING IF YOU DON'T GET CAUGHT

Every average Joe and Jane have access to the regular news, and you don't need to play by their rules. If you really want to get ahead and persevere, you'll need to get more knowledge from more... "exclusive" sources. Get all of the information you need to rise above and claim power. And those silly rumours about financial investigations? Nothing more than smack-mouth; no one in the history of FERIOS has ever been found guilty of these baseless accusations!

YOU'RE A WINNER! WHO CARES ABOUT THE LOSERS?

Success is only defined by outperforming everyone else that is trying to do the same thing as you. Here at FERIOS, we're like a big family, and like family, we really like competitions! Earn the most money to beat your coworkers, get ahead, and ensure that you are relevant enough to the family to stay a part of it! And those that lose? Don't think about them. Think of the sweet money you'll make instead.

IMAGINE ALL THE AWARDS THAT AWAIT YOU

You're a worthy and valuable worker to FERIOS, so we want you to treat yourself! Work hard, earn your place, and we'll shower you with all sorts of lavish rewards! Get a fancy apartment, drive the most prestigious cars, and decorate your living area with fanciful artwork... Of course, for any real trader, work is its own reward, so we expect you to continue working to earn your rewards!
