About the Game

In-depth Decision-Making Gameplay

  • You can determine all parameters of every game you develop. Experiment with the optimal combination of parameters to create top-tier games.

  • You can choose to achieve "legitimate" success by developing high-quality games for profit, or monopolize the market through "underhanded tactics" such as malicious competition and poaching talents from rivals.

Engaging AI Interactions

  • Every rival and character in the game can think independently and respond to your actions.

  • If your game’s quality is too poor, you can bribe reviewers to get a favorable rating. Of course, reviewers may also take the initiative to demand bribes sometimes.

  • You can resort to underhanded tactics—and so can your competitors. Be careful not to let the game you slaved over become a wedding dress for others.

  • Your attitude toward employees will affect their behavior. Don’t exploit them too harshly, or else… the wrath of an ordinary person can be terrifying…

  • ......

Rich Character Personalities

  • Each character has unique skill levels and talents in various fields. The higher their level, the better the quality of the games they develop.

  • Every character has distinctive tags that can sometimes exert a crucial impact on the game. For example, the [Overachiever] tag affects the work speed and loyalty of team members; the [Lone Wolf] tag slows down a character’s work speed as more people gather around them......

  • More capable characters demand higher salaries accordingly. Yet sometimes, a suitable average character offers a far better cost-performance ratio than a "jack-of-all-trades".

Unpredictable Random Events

  • The game is packed with numerous random events, all presented in the form of mini-games. Victory will earn you substantial rewards.

Office Building & Decoration

  • You can rent an office and arrange workstations, decorations, and other items yourself. Certain in-game effects are tied to the office layout. For instance, employees within a 5-tile radius of the coffee machine receive a work speed boost.

  • As your team grows larger, you’ll need to consider renting a bigger office.

  • For players who dislike manual setup, a one-click decoration feature is also available.
