Mandate vs Foundermode

Key Features: • 4 difficulty levels • Monthly economic simulation with realistic lag effects and transmission mechanisms • Dynamic credibility system — markets trust you only if you earn it • 12 Federal Reserve districts with named governors and regional economic variation • Interactive charts tracking every indicator across your term • Comprehensive tutorial for economics newcomers and policy wonks alike • Endless Mode • Playable Historical Scenarios (In-App Purchase) A Realistic Economic Engine Mandate simulates an array of interconnected economic indicators including PCE and CPI inflation, GDP growth, unemployment, the 10-year Treasury yield, and more. Policy decisions propagate through realistic lag effects and transmission channels. The 10-year yield drives mortgage rates, corporate borrowing, and financial conditions — just like the real economy. Inflation expectations anchor or unravel based on your credibility, with Phillips Curve and Okun's Law dynamics. Think you can do better than the real Fed? Prove it.

Founder Mode is a single-player startup simulator. You take a company from a spare room toward an IPO or a sale. Most runs do not get there. The whole simulation runs on your phone. Saves stay on the device. There are no ads and no tracking. You hire, you raise, you ship product, you sit in board meetings, you decide whether to take the deal. Cash runs out. The board can remove you. Competitors ship. Difficulty is set when you create the founder and does not change. This is meant to be hard. Surviving should feel like you earned it. No in-app purchases, no subscription, no energy timers. If the game crashes, an optional crash report can leave the device. That is off if you turn Crash reports off in Settings.
