Welcome to Mad Ave Massacre, the ultimate satirical corporate simulator where creativity goes to die, and margins are all that matter. It’s Q1. The economy is weird. Choose your survival strategy and navigate the ruthless world of global advertising through thousands of swipe-based decisions. CHOOSE YOUR PATH: The Indie Agency You are the founder of a hungry new creative boutique. Your goal: Stack $50 Million in the bank, win at the Creativity Awards in Cannes, and try to keep your creative soul intact. Pitch Eccentric Clients: Tell them what they want to hear, or tell them the truth and risk losing the account. Manage Overhead: Balance your payroll and cash flow. If you run out of money, the creditors will change the locks. Survive PR Disasters: Navigate toxic workplace leaks, hot mics, and deepfake scandals. The Holding Company You are the CEO of a global network that just IPO’d with $2 Billion in cash and brutal overhead. Your goal: Reach a $50 Billion valuation and please Wall Street before your staff mutinies. Acquire Rivals: Review over 100 satirical agencies. Will you Merge with a lean tech unicorn to harvest their passive income, or Gut a 20,000-person legacy dinosaur to asset-strip their real estate? Global Restructuring: Execute massive layoffs to trim your payroll bloat. Fire thousands to boost your stock price—just make sure you can afford the severance. Squeeze Efficiencies: Return to the office, install keystroke loggers, and replace the espresso machine with drip coffee to maximize profits at the expense of human joy. UNETHICAL ADVANTAGES Having a tough quarter? Open your briefcase and visit "The Fixer". Use real-world money to buy in-game corporate cheats. Buy a "Mandatory Pizza Party" to boost morale, hire the "Client's Nephew" to guarantee a pitch win, or trigger an "Audit" to instantly fire middle management. Unlock 26 Game Center Achievements, climb the global leaderboards, and prove you have what it takes to win capitalism. Will you Ascend as a Legend, or get escorted out by security?
