CEO Simulator is a cozy turn-based business tycoon in a hand-painted watercolor style. Every turn is one month of your company's life. Your goal: grow it to a capitalization of $10 billion.

RUN YOUR COMPANY

• Set the price, production load, salaries and marketing — every lever changes your profit

• Hire directors and open up to five branches, each adding +25% capacity and market

• Take loans, issue bonds, go public with an IPO and pay dividends

A LIVING MARKET

• 8 products linked in supply chains: grain → flour → bread, ore → steel

• 2–4 AI competitors per product expand, cut prices, poach your staff and go bankrupt

• The central bank's key rate, inflation and GDP growth shape demand and the cost of money

DECISIONS WITH CONSEQUENCES

• 68 events, 32 of them with choices and risk: tax audits, strikes, cyberattacks, mergers

• 3 storylines (sanctions, an AI wave, a market crash) where early choices shape later stages

• Seasonal demand and a news feed that keeps the market moving

AN ADVISOR WHO EXPLAINS

• Arkady Petrovich guides you through the first 10 turns

• After every turn he explains why you made a loss and what to change, using the game's own formulas

• Turn advice off anytime in the settings

MODES

• Free play: 4 industries (IT, manufacturing, mining, retail) × 4 difficulty levels

• 6 scenarios with medals for speed — from a garage startup to rescuing a bankrupt company

• Hardcore: same deadline, less money, harsher events

Languages: English, Russian. Platforms: Windows, macOS (Intel and Apple Silicon).

I wish it has a clearer UI for eyes. The map has already trees, and the leaves around the buttons are exhausting. Overall, I love your project. 

Thank you for the feedback. I’ll think about how this can be implemented.

We love business sims. We love pixel art. We love you.
