About this game Read the full description
You start with $500, a used laptop, and a free-tier LLM.

You hire agents. They write code. You ship contracts. You buy faster machines. You take on bigger jobs. You see what happens.

The early game is small and warm. The late game is something you should find out for yourself.

This is an idle game, most of the decision you make are just simple terminal keyboard commands.
There is no input action required outside of making decisions and managing your economy.

Loop

  • Land contracts; assign agents to complete them.
  • Upgrade hardware, LLM tiers, and your team.
  • Pivot when growth stalls. Keep your reputation up.

In the box

  • A procedural commit log that's helps tell the story.
  • Steam Cloud saves and Steam Achievements.
  • Ambient audio & in-game radio perks
  • Runs in its own window, looks like a terminal. Go full-screen for maximum nerd cred.
