Split or Steal is a light re-imagining of the Game Theory concept of The Prisoner's Dilemma. Two players will be selected from a pool of online users, and are presented with a potential reward. The players are given a maximum of 2 minutes to speak with eachother – at which point, they can then choose to either share, or attempt to steal the reward. Earn an honest fortune, or steal your way to success - then spend your winnings on building a Headquarters to amplify your earnings in an idle/incremental-style fashion, running heists against those who wronged you, or just buying one of over (Storyline via IGDB)
