Cercle d'Élite
Read full descriptionHide full description
Cercle d'Élite is a premium, single-player strategy of inheritance and influence. 1925. Two years out of Constantinople, Boris Volkov married Élène Laurent in Bordeaux. A century later, the Maison Volkov-Laurent is an empire of hospitality, media, and strategic investments — and Boris has just died. His three grandchildren inherit. You are one of them. Across twelve quarters you build prestige, acquire houses across France, negotiate with your own family, and decide how far you will go to lead the Cercle. — A living board of thirty places, from Place Vendôme to the Côte d'Azur. Acquire assets, draw dividends, and watch rivals close in. — Negotiate, lobby the family Conseil, and call on rituals when influence alone won't do. — Three heirs, three temperaments, three ways to win — or to be quietly undone. — A story told between the turns: letters, a will, and a press that reacts to your every move. Crafted to an Apple-level bar: — French Art Deco meets 1920s Russian avant-garde — flat colour, gold, geometry. — On-device intelligence writes the family's voice; nothing leaves your phone. — No ads. No in-app purchases. No tracking. One price, the whole game, fully offline. Inherit the house. Outlast the family. Reign.

Found your movie studio and turn it into a legend. CineMarket is a real-time management game: pick a script, sign talent, start shooting and come back for the premiere. Every film lives its life on set: production dilemmas, crises to handle, hype to nurture. On release day the box office drops, the press gives its verdict and your studio grows. • SHOOT IN REAL TIME. Three minutes for your first film, hours for a blockbuster. Shoots keep going when the app is closed; interactive widgets, Dynamic Island and Control Center keep you posted. • READ YOUR REVIEWS. Every release gets its own press review, written for your film: genre, cast, budget, hit or flop. • BUILD YOUR CAST. Directors, actors, writers: fictional talents with hidden synergies. Order custom scripts from your signed writers. • CLIMB THE LEAGUE. Every week, twenty-four studios of your level fight for promotion. Friday night premieres pay more. • PLAY THE MARKET. Buy shares in trending films and earn dividends. All in game money. • PROGRESS FOREVER. Levels, ranks from Indie to Immortal, sticker album, daily quests, six-week seasons with ten reward tiers. • DRESS YOUR STUDIO. Six complete themes, each with its own app icon, clapperboard and widgets: holographic Y2K, Swiss Bauhaus that follows light or dark mode, Sverige and its northern lights, 80s Arcades, In The House at sunset, Midnight under its midnight sun. • BECOME A PATRON. Invite a friend's studio: credits for both, and your name in the credits of their next film. • A LIVING WORLD. Industry news changes revenue, budgets and hype for your genres. No ads, no loot boxes. Purchases can speed up or improve productions and add a soundstage: they increase box-office cash, but boosted hype and head starts don't count in the league or rankings, and no purchase adds ranking points or multipliers. Talent, rival studios and news are fictional. The Market also lists forty-eight public-domain classics. Producer Pass (optional): four credits a day, one free custom script per day, one more stage, doubled dividends, doubled vault, four hours to handle a crisis, 25% off permanent items bought with credits, the Poster widget and the Midnight sound palette. No theme is included. Monthly or yearly with a 3-day free trial, or lifetime.
