TK Punk Gold Guides Hub
Practical walkthroughs for the 50-week cyberpunk raising loop.
Welcome to the TK Punk Gold guides hub. This section is built for players who just opened Hanport City and immediately felt the pressure of a fifty-week clock. TK Punk Gold mixes bar management, commission combat, prosthetic research, and companion bonds into one schedule. If you treat every menu as optional fluff, the campaign will punish you. If you treat every action point as a scarce currency, the same systems become readable.
Start with Getting Started when you need a day-one checklist: what the Gold Bar front actually does, how commissions connect to story pressure, and which early mistakes cost entire endings later. Move to How to Play TK Punk Gold for the loop itself—turns, mobility, and the order of decisions that keep research, romance, and faction goodwill from colliding. The Time Management Guide is the spine of this wiki: it explains how to budget weeks so companion routes and Heaven, Earth, or Man alliances remain intentional instead of accidental.
Combat players should jump to the Combat Guide and then cross-check the Builds Hub for prosthetics and synergy notes. Economy-focused players should open Bar Management before dumping every turn into romance scenes. Route hunters live in Faction Routes and the Endings Guide, then validate progress with the Ending Checklist tool.

What these guides optimise for
TK Punk Gold is not a pure visual novel and not a pure tactics RPG. The guides here prioritise decision order: cash flow before vanity crafts, bond focus before shotgun romance, faction lanes before week forty panic. We keep Steam facts aligned—single-player Windows release on August 6, 2026, thirteen companions, four major ending directions via Heaven/Earth/Man goodwill, GOLD resistance under Zhang Jiao versus the D.H.C—and avoid inventing hidden multipliers. When a mechanic is opaque in-game, we describe the player-facing pressure and the safest default plan.
Use this hub as a map, not a dump. Each article links sideways so you can move from a symptom (broke by week twelve, stuck commission, soft-locked goodwill) to the page that actually fixes it.
Frequently Asked Questions

Which TK Punk Gold guide should I read first?

Companions Hub covers roster and bonds. Builds Hub covers tiering, prosthetics, and synergies.
Are the guides updated after launch?
Yes. Cross-check Updates and Patch Notes after major Steam patches, then revisit Time Management if AP economy changes.
