## What is Garage?

Start in a cramped garage with nothing but a laptop and a dream. Write code, ship your first indie game, and grow from a one-person operation into a legendary game startup.

Garage: Startup Simulator is a cozy idle tycoon about the real grind of making games — pick your genre and theme, manage your energy, ship hits (and the occasional flop), and reinvest every dollar into a bigger startup.

FEATURES
• Build your startup from a garage to an empire
• Mix genre × theme combos and chase hit games
• Idle income that keeps working while you're away
• Manage energy, focus and your developer's well-being
• Hire a team, decorate your office, adopt an office cat
• A fair economy — progress is earned, never sold

PREMIUM (optional)
Go Premium for insight tools — market fit, risk dial, discovery journal and research. A one-time unlock that gives you vision, not power: the balance stays fair for everyone.

No pay-to-win. No forced ads. Just the honest fantasy of building a game startup from scratch.

Download and start your garage startup today.
