Split or Steal

About

Split or Steal pits two players against each other in a tense test of trust and greed. After teaming up, you and a stranger get two minutes to chat before deciding to share your earnings or try to take it all. Your choice determines how much cash you walk away with, but if both players steal, nobody gets anything. Use your take-home pay to build out your base, automate income streams, or plan revenge heists against cheaters. Over 140 cosmetic items let you customize your character while joining Organizations adds new ways to collaborate and compete. The game’s tight focus on social bluffing and risk-reward decisions keeps matches fresh. While the idle progression loop offers long-term goals, the real thrill comes from reading opponents and dealing with the fallout. Simple mechanics make it easy to jump into, though mastering when to trust or betray takes practice. A quirky spin on classic game theory that feels both silly and strategic.

Storyline

Split or Steal is a light re-imagining of the Game Theory concept of The Prisoner's Dilemma. Two players will be selected from a pool of online users, and are presented with a potential reward. The players are given a maximum of 2 minutes to speak with eachother – at which point, they can then choose to either share, or attempt to steal the reward. Earn an honest fortune, or steal your way to success - then spend your winnings on building a Headquarters to amplify your earnings in an idle/incremental-style fashion, running heists against those who wronged you, or just buying one of over 140 different cosmetics to show off in-game with. And, if you don't manage to alienate people by stealing from the entire planet, take advantage of the shared wealth and bonuses offered by joining an Organization!
