Bend the Stock Market in Insider Trading
Independent developer Naiive has rolled out the biggest demo update yet for Insider Trading, the Wall Street-inspired roguelike deckbuilder built around bending a volatile market to your advantage. The expanded demo is now available on Steam and introduces fresh characters, a wider card selection, and major system reworks that add more depth to every run. The result is a sharper, more flexible experience that rewards experimentation.
This updated build more than doubles the available card pool, opening space for new strategies and unexpected deck combinations. Ten unique pills allow quick mid-run shifts that can turn a floundering plan into a profitable comeback. Each new character arrives with distinct mechanics and starting hands, creating different rhythms and risk profiles as you push through the market. A newly added Hard Mode pushes the pressure higher, while rebalanced events and perks keep the trading cycle unpredictable enough to demand careful timing.
Early reception has been strong, with the demo holding a 97 percent Very Positive rating on Steam across nearly five hundred reviews. Steady interest from players and coverage from streamers such as Northernlion have helped the game find a growing audience ahead of its full release.
Insider Trading builds its tension around a stock market that reacts to every choice you make. Synergies, price swings, and shifting momentum form the backbone of each run, and the same systems that generate profit can send your portfolio crashing if mishandled. Victory comes from knowing when to seize control of the market you have shaped and when to adapt before it swallows your gains.
