Про цю демоверсію

Software CEO is a relaxing yet deep business simulation game where you create and manage your own software company from scratch.

This demo gives you full access to the core gameplay of Software CEO. You can play freely and explore all systems, but progression is limited to Tier 2 components. Some advanced features are not yet available and will be added in future updates.

Start your journey in a humble garage with a single desk and an old CRT monitor. As an ambitious founder, you’ll take charge of every aspect of your growing startup: producing software, hiring employees, furnishing your office, and managing deadlines, bugs, budgets, and burnout.

At the heart of the game lies a unique component-based development system. Every software product, feature, or module is built from multiple layers of components, across five tiers of complexity. To create higher-tier components, you'll need to produce — or delegate — all the underlying elements. Good planning, skilled staff, and smart investments are key to success.

You can focus your business on three different types of production:

• SaaS platforms – Launch and operate live online services (e.g., marketplaces, social networks, MMORPGs) and generate revenue through subscriptions or advertising.

• Traditional software – Design and release standalone products for sale, from image editors to video games.

• Contract work – Deliver specific components for other companies under tight deadlines to earn reliable income.

As your company grows, so do the challenges. You’ll have to:

• Recruit and train employees with different specialties.

• Maintain product quality while dealing with bugs and technical debt.

• Manage team morale, burnout, and workplace needs.

• Respond to market trends and cybersecurity threats.

The better your setup, the more efficient your team. Buy and upgrade computers, chairs, and desks. Customize your workspace with stylish decor to boost productivity or simply impress your investors. You can rent or buy bigger offices, moving from tiny startup spaces to multi-floor buildings as your empire grows.

Whether you're a micromanager who loves optimizing production pipelines, or a chill player who enjoys growing a cozy business at your own pace, Software CEO offers a strategic yet relaxing sandbox to build your digital empire.
