About
About the game
An incremental business game that roasts workplace culture.
In an era where AI is replacing humans, you play as the CEO of a cyberpunk internet company. Make critical decisions between hiring "carbon-based employees" and "AI employees"—every choice has a cost. Over-exploit your workers and they'll quit; go too hard on AI and the system might rebel.
45-90 minutes per run. Experience the moral struggle of a capitalist (or don't).
15 Employees, Each With Their Own Issues
• Carbon-based staff: Slacker Xiao Wang, 996 Specialist, KPI Killer... each with unique skills and work states
• AI staff: Neural Ape, Code Hero, Fully Automated AI HR... more efficient but require continuous Token investment
• Each employee has 3 work animations—working, slacking, sleeping. You never know what they're doing.
Funding Round System—From Angel to IPO
• Experience the complete funding journey: Angel → Series A → Series B → Series C → Pre-IPO → IPO
• Each round requires preparation tasks and investor negotiations
• Preparation quality affects funding amount—Crude, Acceptable, Polished, or Viral?
• You can fake your data—but exposure is always a risk
Three Tech Trees, Each With A Price
• Hardware Upgrades: From TP-Link routers to Nvidia H100 clusters
• Corporate Culture: Enablement → OKR → 996 → PUA Masterclass (higher levels mean worse side effects)
• AI Evolution: AI Assistant → Full AI Workforce (moving too fast may trigger AI rebellion)
Competitors Are Watching You
• "Silicon Dream Tech" CEO Elon Ma is pushing through funding rounds in the background
• Fall behind and your valuation gets cut. Let satisfaction drop too low and your staff gets poached.
4 Endings—Which One Is Yours?
• Cyber Capitalist: Complete IPO
• Conscientious Boss: Maintain ≥90 satisfaction for 30 days + Day ≥200 + Series B + 10+ employees
• AI Takeover: Full AI workforce + stability collapse
• Bankruptcy: Both funds and tokens reach zero
Playtime: 45-90 minutes per run
You don't need hundreds of hours to experience "capitalist joy." One cup of coffee, one complete startup journey.
Your Daily Routine
• Recruit employees: Balance cost and output, decide the carbon/AI ratio
• Assign tasks: Project execution, funding prep, crisis management
• Upgrade tech: Choose between short-term gains or long-term development
• Handle events: Investor visits, employee protests, AI hallucinations... each event offers conservative vs risky options
• Use boss skills: Pie-in-the-sky speech, boss inspection, performance threats—use well for motivation, overuse for disaster
Action Density
• New clickable feedback every 10-20 seconds
• Complete a mini-goal every 2-5 minutes
• Feel the strategic divergence every 10-20 minutes
"The boss said we're the company's most valuable assets. Then he brought in AI."
— Xiao Wang, slacking
"996 is a blessing? I've been blessed all the way to the ICU."
— 996 Specialist, working overtime
"I can work 24 hours a day. No social insurance, no year-end bonus. Are you sure you want to keep those carbon-based employees?"
— Neural Ape, self-optimizing
"Let's align on the granularity of this project, leverage our core pillars to create a closed-loop enablement ecosystem..."
— HR Mei, in a meeting
• You have PTSD from words like "enablement," "granularity," and "closed-loop"
• You've wondered "what if I were the boss"
• You enjoy the numerical satisfaction of incremental games
• You want to experience a "capitalist's spiritual journey" in 45 minutes
• You love cyberpunk/pixel art style
• You're an actual capitalist (might hit too close to home)
• You believe "the company is a family"
• You've never experienced the beating of corporate life
• 16-bit pixel style, paying homage to classics
• Dark tech UI with neon green and cyan themes
• Each employee has unique animations—slacking, dozing off, or pretending to work at their desk
