Short description

Specatro is a roguelike built from real market events. The chart, generated to follow the real move on a fictional ticker, fast-forwards to the moment of the event and freezes. You call UP or DOWN before the timer runs out, then watch it play out and learn why.

Long description

Each round of Specatro takes one real historical moment, such as a rate decision, a budget, a crash or a surprise election result. You see only what was known before the move. The chart freezes, you call it, and the chart plays out one at a time, each one scoring when it goes your way. A short lesson then explains why the market moved.

Around that loop is a run built like a roguelike. Beat the Alpha target of each session, spend your winnings on Analysts, Tips and Playbooks that change how you score, and survive eight Eras of Black Swan bosses. It looks like a rainy night in Mumbai: brass bells, ticker tape and a pixel terminal that glows green.

Educational game based on historical events. Charts are fictional. Not investment advice.
