Drops players into the high-stakes role of a corporate cost-cutter tasked with saving a company $300,000 by streamlining operations. The game blends management simulation with escalating pressure, as every decision—from approving terminations to reinvesting savings—triggers consequences. Employees push back through appeals, whistleblowers emerge, and legal battles pile up, forcing tough choices between efficiency and ethics. With 40+ challenges across five restructuring rounds, players navigate branching paths that reshape the company’s future. Core features include deep automation systems, dynamic board ultimatums, and a retro CRT aesthetic that mirrors the game’s 1998 roots.

Auto-save every 15 seconds ensures progress is never lost, while multiple game modes cater to different strategies. Balancing cost-cutting with operational stability creates a tense, replayable experience. Can.
