Gameplay

Overview

The objective of the game is to create a successful business by developing products. As they are sold, the player earns money at a rate varying how many produced and at what price they're being sold. This enables them to hire employees and decorate the office building. The products manufactured include game software, business software, military gear, medicine, clothing, toys, books, sports equipment, etc.

These workers are then assigned to projects according to their abilities, and must then develop and market a product. In addition, the owner of the business has the option to purchase a gift and offer it to one of the employees which would improve one of their abilities.

Money can be saved in two methods: making deposits in the bank or purchasing stocks.

Missions

Unlike some business simulation games, the assigned missions don't go in a sequence. If a player succeeds in each of them, that particular mission becomes an endless world where he/she can continue playing.

Mission Task
1 Generate $300,000 in 5 years
2 Generate $1,000,000 in 3 years and 8 months
3 Make the company's fortune reach the no. 3 in ratings within 7 years.
4 Make the company's stock worth reach the no. 3 spot within a decade.
5 Pay back a loan of half-a-million dollars in 8 years.

Reception

On Metacritic, the game scored a 50 based on 4 reviews.[2]

gollark: Although you'd have to run it over UDP as no NAT devices etc. support it.
gollark: According to internet™, SCTP is an alternate protocol which fixes most of these issues somewhat.
gollark: SCTP might be good for this actually.
gollark: You probably want configurable priority and stuff but TCP bad and never had this.
gollark: Why is `ioctlo` in here? Odd.
