About the Game

A strategy game about correlations, causality, and bending reality for profit.

You’re hired to increase a company’s sales—by any means necessary. Link variables together, exploit correlations, and transform changes in the world into revenue. More penguins? Somehow, that means higher sales. Don’t question it. Optimize it.

As your boss grows increasingly demanding, you’ll need to influence the world itself, manipulating variables and their effects to squeeze out ever-greater profits.

Each week brings a deadline. Meet it to unlock powerful bonuses and earn additional funds, allowing you to alter variable behaviors, amplify their impact on sales, and push your strategy even further.

Features:

  • 40 weekly bonuses to unlock

  • 10 powerful shop bonuses to purchase

  • 15 cards that instantly reshape your options

  • 4 distinct variable effects to manipulate the world or gain funds

  • 15 weekly constraints that force adaptation and drive replayability

No two runs are the same. Customize your strategy with near-endless combinations:

  • Choose from 25+ constraints and powerups before each run, shaping your gameplay from the very start

  • Daily-generated variables and fluctuations ensure fresh challenges every time

Build wild synergies. Break expectations. Make the numbers go up.
