About This Game

Old Town has ten empty lots, and you have five dollars. Open a hot dog cart, make your first sale, and turn one quiet street into the richest address in the city.

Idle Business Tycoon is a cozy idle game about a single storybook street. Every business you open is a building you watch grow: the cart becomes a shop, the shop gains floor after floor, and by the end it wears a golden sign and a crown.

Build a street that grows

• Ten businesses to open in Old Town, from the Hot Dog Cart to the Bank

• Each one grows from a street stall into a building six floors tall

• Level milestones double a shop's speed or multiply its profit

Small decisions that add up

• Neighbors: every business likes a certain kind of neighbor. Put the right two side by side and it earns 50% more for each

• Managers: hire one for each business and it keeps selling on its own

• Upgrades: 38 of them, from Secret Mustard to a Bigger Vault

• Investors: catch them as they walk by for a cash bonus or a rush hour

• Street Pride: bring every shop on the street to the same level and the whole street earns double

• Go Public: sell the company for shares that raise all profit for good, then build it again, richer

A town that feels alive

• Day turns to night, and rain and snow come and go

• The street dresses for the season, with Halloween, Christmas and New Year's Eve fireworks on the real dates

• More than 90 townspeople on the pavement, and cars, buses, cyclists and a milk float on the road

• Three original pieces of music: a ragtime, a swing and a waltz

• Photo mode hides the menus so you can save a picture of your street

Play it your way

• Your managers keep earning while the game is closed, for up to 8 hours

• Desktop Mode puts the street along the bottom of your screen, above the taskbar, while you work or watch something

• Mouse, keyboard or controller

• 30 Steam achievements and Steam Cloud saves

• No internet connection needed

Three expansion packs each add a new street with six more businesses: Riverside, Market Square and Uptown.
