Had quite a bit of fun on this game about 2 years ago, was very active for 3 or 4 months. Decided to come back to the game but found out they delete accounts after 10 months of inactivity giving you only a week of notice to stop it from happening. This is completely unacceptable to me. I played for about 80 hours only to be forced to restart if I want to play again. It is a decent game but there is no reason in my mind for such a short account retention time. The game already isn't super populated, why would the devs kneecap the number of accounts like this? I will never know, but I will also never play the game again, so it doesn't really matter.
Sim Companies is a great business management game for anyone who enjoys strategy without a huge time commitment. Production, trading, and expansion are deep enough to stay interesting, but the game doesn't require constant attention or endless grinding. You can make meaningful progress with just a few minutes of play throughout the day. The player-driven economy adds an extra layer of depth, and the slower pace makes it easy to fit into a busy schedule. A solid choice for fans of management sims who want something engaging but low-maintenance.

It's free, but you get what you pay for. Not very engaging gameplay, as other reviewers have said. it is literally set up production of XX wait however many HOURS and then come back to check on the progress and see how much things have produced/sold for etc. it does not seem like there is a way to actually automate much of the game, so you have to manually log in every few hours and the juice isnt worth the squeeze so to speak. I like the concept, I just do not want to have to sink days into it to get further than planting and selling a few thousand oranges. If there was a way for it to be more active when you were online, I think it would be a better game. On the other hand if you only have a few minutes a day to check back on games maybe you'll like this game more than some others.
Every update makes the game better and better.
This is a great economic sim, but you can just play it in your web browser and phone as well. (premium game currency is more expensive on steam, better to buy in your web browser)
Sweet little stories warm my heart a lot.
I can see where the appeal come with this game. I enjoy the in-game economy that is always changing. Pretty fun game.
The in-game world is full of energy and life.
Free economic sim that can be as simple or deep as you want. Lots of stuff to do or automate your businesses and enjoy passive income. You can mix and match active and passive play or become an entirely cash-only holding company etc. Lots of options or you can chill, hangout, chat, and roleplay. Highly recommended.
