Strategy game · the world opened on 21 October 2026

A second world with the same rules as the first.

Run a company in a persistent, shared world where one game day is one calendar day. The laws, taxes and deadlines are real. The companies, the people and the rivals belong to the game.

ClientTap a building

Têxteis do Ave, S.A.Wants to renew at an 8% discount, by 18:00.

Inside: a table, two chairs and the contract in the middle.

The game

Four ideas hold the game up

1 day = 1 day

VAT is filed when it is really due. Your company's anniversary falls on its real anniversary.

Real laws, with sources

When the law changes in the official gazette, it changes in the game on the day it takes effect.

Any sector

Cement or software, a café or a bank: the same building blocks, with different weights.

Every number explains itself

Click a value and see the entries, the rules and the data that produced it.

The core principle

Reality is the anchor, the game is the drift.

If everything came from the real world, the game would be a dashboard. If nothing did, it would be just another tycoon game. In-game prices follow real ones and drift with what players do, within limits.

Exogenous

Calendar, laws and rates, tax deadlines, central bank interest rates, exchange rates. Nobody touches them.

Anchor + drift

Energy, raw materials, inflation, market wages, demand. Reality sets the base and the game drifts from it.

Endogenous

Companies, products, prices between companies, market shares, brands, the stock exchange and the in-game newspaper.

A day in the game

Ten minutes in the morning, consequences for years

The world closes at six in the morning, and everything you decided runs at that close. When you open the game there are few decisions, but heavy ones, each with a deadline, a cost and someone on the other side.

The city is your map of relationships

Every building has its own UI and its own material

What you do at the bank has nothing to do with what you do at a client. You walk into a building and know where you are without reading the title.

Headquarters · exploded interior

The only interior is your company's

Floors grow with the company

Two floors for nine people. The third is drawn in dashed lines and opens when you reach 13.

People sit at their desks

Each one has a file: salary, morale and risk of leaving. Inês earns less than Sofia, and Norte knows it.

Your desk holds the decisions

Today's three: Têxteis, Inês and the bank. They run at the 06:00 close.

What is public is sharp. The rest costs money and may be wrong. Try it: the budget doesn't cover everything.

More than one company

Rotate, and the city in front changes

With companies in several cities, each one brings its own law, its own tax and its own time. The times below are real, right now, and the windows light up when it is night there.

The same pieces in every city: only the terrain, the time and the weather change.

Freedom

Any sector, several countries

There are no company types: each sector combines the same blocks with different weights. And each country is a complete legal system.

Start-up	A €200M plant, 3 years	A laptop, tomorrow

Reference values. Each country is validated with professionals before it enters the game, starting with Portugal.

The ambition

How to make the best strategy game in the world

Being the most complete means more coherent interactions between a few systems. Real states have already designed thousands of them; what is missing is simulating them well.

Decisions with a cost

Porto or Texas, debt or dilution. No strategy always wins.

Complexity that grows

Five screens for a one-person company, fifty for a multinational.

Readable depth

Every number explains itself and every rule links to the article of law.

Real consequences

Bureaucracy shows up as time, money and risk.

Tomorrow pulls you back

The candidate answers tomorrow and VAT is due in three weeks.

Missing a day isn't punished

Standing orders and directors keep the company running.

Rivals with memory

They remember what you did to them and team up against you.

Stories to tell

The game names its stories, like a twenty-year rivalry.

The rich can fall

Coordination costs, competition and succession.

Won by playing

No real money, no crypto, no pay-to-win.

The road

Each phase kills a risk

We move by milestones, not dates. A phase only ends when it proves what it has to prove.

Foundations

A double-entry ledger where the balance sheet balances.
