You have $5,000, a soul-crushing job, and one idea that won't leave you alone. THE ENTREPRENEUR'S QUEST is a satirical founder life sim set in a small paper-cutout mountain town. Walk the streets. Pitch clients at the coffee shop. Drink your stress away at The Pivot Bar and pay for it in the morning. Deploy AI agents that quietly clear your calendar. Sell the company - then do it all again until you're the BILLY GOAT: Billionaire, Greatest Of All Time. IT IS HARDER THAN IT LOOKS Cold pitches close 8% of the time. Nobody buys from nobodies. Rent goes up every week. Clients churn if you skip a day of real work - and the ones you ghost sign with Derek, your rival, who posts about it with a boat emoji he cannot back up. MAINTENANCE IS EVERYTHING Skip work and HR files strikes until you're fired. Skip the gym and your stamina decays. Skip networking and your reputation fades. Ship your product and it starts rotting the next morning. Just like the real thing. WHAT'S IN TOWN - Two streets, a park, and a bar with consequences - Derek, your rival, competing for the same twelve clients - An AI lab: deploy agents, install the stack, buy back your week - A bank with savings, three stocks, and one that behaves like a personality disorder - Rental properties, serial exits, and an endless mode that runs to $1,000,000,000 - A goat in the park who gives genuinely excellent advice - A man at the bar who gives confident, terrible advice Three save slots. Plays offline. No ads, no purchases, no timers. Free, because it was fun to build. The satire is free. The founder math underneath it is real.
