Firestoke :
Edinburgh, Scotland - October 21st, 2024 - Firestoke and Usual Suspects are excited to announce that their off-the-wall, third-person open world simulation, It’s Only Money, is now out of Early Access for it’s full 1.0 release with a 30% launch discount! It’s Only Money sees you take on the role of an Undercity resident, cast down by the newly elected evil mayor into the sewers and subways. Your goal is to venture to the surface, along, or with up to three other players via online co-op, to steal, fight, destroy and, ultimately, take down the corporations owned by the Mayor’s corrupt cohorts.
Win back the city block by block as you buy houses, businesses, clothes and cars. Every house you buy brings more people back from the Undercity to the surface, allowing you to customise their living spaces for gameplay buffs and unique items. Invest in properties like the landlord you’ve always wanted to be. Become the 1%, profit off the land and contribute nothing to society! Concentration of wealth? Sounds like a poor people problem.
Rockhaven is your playground. Pickpocket the wealthy, steal cars for a wild joyride, or jack a UFO and take it for a spin! Test your combat skills with new moves available at the Dojo, or take on the Mayor’s inner circle in epic Takeover missions, including boss fights against his lieutenants. Join with up to 3 other friends (or randoms) to steal together, fight together, complete missions together or just hang out in a club and gamble.
Enjoying rave reviews on Steam during its Early Access phase, It’s Only Money has steadily been adding new features like epic ‘Takeover’ missions, minimum-wage-earning side-hustles minigames and Metro Dungeon - a roguelite combat experience. With the 1.0 release, It’s Only Money gets even better, with the addition of expanded player upgrades, new missions, enhanced vehicle systems. Enjoy the ride, cause chaos, and, most importantly, reclaim what's yours.
“We’re really excited to release It’s Only Money today,” said Aaron Alexander, Co-Founder of Usual Suspects. “Thank you to everyone who has visited Rockhaven during the game’s Early Access period, given us great reviews and feedback and helped make the game better building to this 1.0 release. We’re looking forward to the population of Rockhaven booming!”

About Usual Suspects
Usual Suspects was founded in 2020 by Aaron Alexander & Jayde Cohen. They had no ambition to run a real company, but very quickly found investment and other opportunities after they had quickly developed an open world prototype in Unreal Engine. Being mature and wise businessmen, they decided the best thing to spend their money on was hiring multiple friends full time to help flesh out the project into a real game. Against all conventional wisdom and sensible business practices, somehow It’s Only Money was successfully developed and released to the world. Despite an admittedly “rough” exterior, the developers at Usual Suspects have a combined 35 years of experience in the games industry, shipping titles from the indie level all the way up to AAA at various studios.
