About This Game



A pixel-art phone company management sim. Start in a garage and decide your phones’ market tier, key features, chipset, and design, then set budgets for R&D, pricing, marketing, and production. Develop this month and choose a launch week next month: launch early for more time on sale, or launch later for a higher production yield. Every release is put to the test through sales and reputation



From feature phones to smartphones and then AI phones, the times won’t wait for you. Supply chain shocks and price wars lie ahead, market preferences keep shifting, and rivals are fighting for market share. Make the most of crisis warnings two months in advance and decide how your company will weather the storm



Hire staff, expand factories, upgrade facilities, take on contract manufacturing, sign celebrity endorsements, and build your headquarters. Find the balance between growth and cash flow. Thirty-three industry legends will visit: hire them as long-term advisors for a fee, or learn a trick for free to use on your next phone. When things get busy, your four old school friends can take over day-to-day management



Six endings await, from bankruptcy to becoming the world’s number one. After forty years, your performance is judged by market share, prestige, and company size. Start a second playthrough with 10% of your previous assets and your entire Hall of Honors, plus two exclusive endings to discover. Your third playthrough unlocks endless management. Enjoy pixel-art visuals and music and sound effects synthesized during gameplay, with Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and English available to switch between at any time

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

This game uses AI in two ways:

1. In-game content: An "AI employee" system is a gameplay feature — after researching a large language model in-game, players can hire AI staff as a cheaper alternative to human employees, at the cost of reputation and team morale. This is a fictional game mechanic, not generative AI at runtime.

2. Development tooling: Some placeholder art and music assets were iterated with the assistance of AI tools during development, then hand-edited and finalized by the developer. No live generative AI runs during gameplay; all shipped art and music are static, authored assets.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Mature Content Description

This game depicts the stresses and failures of running a business — including bankruptcy, layoffs, employee burnout, and aggressive market competition. Characters face workplace pressure, job insecurity (including an "AI replacing workers" subplot), and financial ruin. There is no graphic violence, sexual content, or strong language. The game is a stylized pixel-art business simulation intended for a general audience interested in management/tycoon games.
