Surviving from nothing
Rock Bottom began as the playtest's hard-mode start on August 6, 2026. Players on the Steam forum report that it often ends in the first week on the top difficulty, and that appraisal work was their early income.
Winning it unlocks From Nothing, and winning it on hard mode unlocks From Nothing, the Hard Way; both are covered in Probably Stolen achievements. To win at all you need to buy the store, as explained in how to buy the shop in Probably Stolen.
