Gameplay

Defeat Primrose-sama's sleep deprivation monsters before they become real. 💤

Select the monster card to attack. Get more cards and craft runes to become overpowered. 💥

Work–Life Balance

Overworking is unhealthy. Probably. I guess. Maybe. 😓

You should find something meaningful to do other than work. (Like playing this game? 🥺👉👈) 

After all, what’s the point of all work... if we never had fun, never enjoyed, never had a life? 

(Actually, the card game is not that fun, don't play it! ( •◡<) -☆)

(You can just skip the card game and enjoy the story.)

(… you're allowed to skip the story too... but I will be sad… ><) 

TL;DR

Living is Expensive… is a short and funny visual novel you wouldn’t want to miss.
