This seems to be solid successor to an aging era of light roleplay servers in Garry's Mod. There's a decent job/role system and the economy is intentionally brutal, you're very likely to die of starvation your first few lives until you get the hang of things. It's pretty obvious the intended experience is suffering in a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ dystopian nightmare city, but there's enough player autonomy that you can achieve whatever goals you're after with a bit of grit and cooperation.

From digging around in the studio's Discord I was able to surmise that Aneurism IV is a standalone successor to their own Aneurism III, which was a Garry's Mod server set in much the same kind of universe. In 2021 they shut down their server in order to create a standalone version of the gamemode, four years later, here we are. The price is right for the game, it seems feature complete enough, though I'm surprised they didn't opt for the Early Access label regardless.

One thing it has going for it over other roleplaying multiplayer sandboxes is a lack of a need for heavy handed staff oversight, the game has its consequences baked in. If you want to be a murderous jackass you can absolutely go ahead and do that, but the game's systems will see you pay the price, no need for an admin to break the flow of the game and threaten you with meta punishments, no need for arguments or bad blood.

With the game's development being as it was these past few years, there's a very real possibility that a small percentage of players have a serious leg up over newcomers in knowledge, experience, and community ties. I haven't run into these players personally but some reviews allude to their existence, as far as I can tell however, this doesn't bar you from any of the game's content, and there's enough players to a server that you could feasibly vanish into the crowd after a bad interaction. Be personable and try to be amusing to interact with and you'll probably have no issues.
