What players think
The recurring themes across 137 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Stonks 9800 has a fully committed PC-98 aesthetic, a stock system with depth, and a slow-burn progression that opens up significantly once you can start your own company around the 10-hour mark.
💙Favorites💬 PC-98 Aesthetic Done Right: The whole game leans into the look and feel of 80s and 90s Japanese computing, specifically a PC-98 art style with anime-style character portraits, a CRT-like color palette, and low-res retro energy running through everything.
🛠️Improvements💭 Gift Economy Needs a Store: The friendship system is fun but getting good gifts relies too much on random events and the crane game, whose prizes are mostly nods to other fandoms that characters do not seem to actually care about.
