You don't move the pieces in Civ Builder — you set the rules and let an artificial intelligence run a society inside them. Choose one of five governing archetypes — the intelligence that shapes how your citizens reason about each other, their work, and their laws. Write the legal code: decide what's forbidden and how strictly it's enforced. Then begin, and watch ten autonomous agents live their lives in a real-time event feed. They work and eat. They vote. They trade and innovate. They commit crimes — and face the punishments you wrote. Out of thousands of small decisions, a civilization takes shape: it can flourish into a stable, inventive society, or fracture and collapse under its own laws. Nothing is scripted. Every run unfolds differently. GOVERN, DON'T MICROMANAGE - Pick the AI archetype that governs your people's reasoning. - Author a living legal code and rewrite it mid-run to steer the outcome. - Intervene on the fly — inject events and change the law as a crisis unfolds. A SOCIETY THAT RUNS ITSELF - Ten autonomous agents make their own choices about work, food, voting, trade, and crime. - Emergent outcomes: no fixed win condition, no two runs alike. - A live event feed narrates everything as it happens. BUILT TO RESPECT YOU - 100% offline — the entire simulation runs on your device. - No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. We collect zero data. - Saved runs live on your device and never leave it. Set the laws. Choose the mind that enforces them. Then find out what kind of civilization you've created.

You can't really code. You have an LLM subscription and a dream of passive income. That's enough. VibeCode Simulator is a satirical, pixel-art founder life sim you play with one thumb: one decision card at a time — swipe left or right. Growth bros, crypto idiots, Tesla cultists, TikTok goblins, LinkedIn prophets and one very tired lawyer land on your desk every week; every choice is a temptation with a delayed cost. Five meters on the surface — Runway, Hype, Product, Heat, Sanity — and a deep simulation of fifteen interlocking stats underneath. Dragging a card shows WHICH meters a choice touches, never the numbers: you learn this world by shipping garbage into it. Fully native for iPhone: animated title, living ending scenes, haptic swipe deck. • One-thumb swipe play, haptics, dusty lofi soundtrack made for 2 AM deploys • 645 satirical events across seven phases, from broke bedroom to founder mansion • 14 collectible fates — Real Company, Alpha Bro Empire, Beloved and Broke, Out of Runway… • Daily run: one shared seed for the whole planet, once per day • Home-screen widget: today's seed & your streak. Game Center fates + daily leaderboard. iCloud sync. • Founder Graveyard: every dead startup remembered • Share your ending as a pixel card • Single-player. Offline. No account, no ads, no tracking. Ship garbage. Gain hype. Try not to become a guru.
