Pyramid Scheme Simulator Guide: Getting Started

What is Pyramid Scheme Simulator?

Pyramid Scheme Simulator is a short incremental idle game by GoblinRags. The official description presents it as a strange tape containing a simulator for constructing a pyramid scheme.

The itch.io page categorizes the game as Simulation. Its tags include 2D, atmospheric, clicker, horror, idle, incremental, management, mystery and short.

Prototype status

The official page lists Pyramid Scheme Simulator as a Prototype and explicitly states that it is not finished. It asks players for feedback and suggestions and says that more content and unfolding mechanics are planned.

The listing identifies Unity as the engine. HTML5 and Windows are the two published platforms.

Browser limitation

The official page warns that the visual effects do not work in WebGL. It recommends trying the Windows build to see the VHS visuals.

This means the HTML5 browser build is available, but its visual presentation does not include every effect described on the page. No input methods or average session length are listed in the supplied official details.

When checked on October 7, 2026, the itch.io page showed a rating of 4.1 out of 5 from eight ratings.

How to play

Open the GameTio game page, select Play, then choose Run game on the developer’s itch.io page. Keep the official WebGL visual-effects warning in mind when choosing between the browser and Windows builds.
