Business Tycoon Empire vs Pathogen Zero

Business Tycoon Empire is a stock market and management game. You start with €12 million, buy shares, take control of companies and build an empire against eighteen rival holding companies. One name ends up at the top of the leaderboard: yours, or a rival who played it more patiently. A MARKET WITH A LIFE OF ITS OWN Prices follow earnings, sector cycles and the mood of the market. Nothing is scripted: bubbles inflate and burst, and crashes don't send a warning. BUY IN, THEN GAIN GROUND Buy shares at today's price and sell when the market proves you right. In every sector, companies fight over the same customers. An aging giant keeps its quality but loses its growth — hire and invest in R&D at yours, and take market share from it. CROSS 50% Own more than half and the company is yours. You appoint its executive, collect its dividends and fund its hiring and R&D. LAUNCH A TAKEOVER BID Not enough shares left on the market? Buy out the shareholders: offer a premium, borrow the difference if you need to, then win the board vote. DELEGATE, THEN STOP WATCHING Thirty companies don't fit in one head. Give each executive a mandate — growth, margin or caution — and they run their company's cash on it, every week, without you. Whatever still needs your call goes to the top of one queue, ordered by what waiting costs. FOUND, INNOVATE, MERGE Start your own company, then bet on R&D: a breakthrough, a revolution… or a flop. Merge two companies you control to carry more weight in their market. UNICORNS AND BANKRUPTCIES Startups keep launching. Most fail; a few become unicorns. A struggling company goes under for good — judged on the real tests of financial analysis — and your shares go with it. BANKS AND CREDIT Borrow to buy sooner, at the rate your credit rating earns you, from AAA down to D. Issue fixed-coupon bonds. Pile on too much leverage and your rating drops: rates climb and the bank lends you less. ANSWER TO YOUR SHAREHOLDERS They set targets, with deadlines. Miss them and they vote on throwing you out. You can still win that vote — if you saw it coming. RIVALS AND GEOPOLITICS The eighteen rival holdings hire, buy out, take over countries and bid for your companies. The world map holds twenty-eight real countries: buy one and pass laws there. A German subsidy only helps your companies based in Germany. SPEND IT The holding's cash isn't yours. Pay yourself — the taxman takes his cut first — then go shopping: a Paris apartment, a long-range jet, a 110-meter yacht, a private island, a football club. Everything costs upkeep every week, and makes you harder to vote out. Spin most of them in 3D, or put one on your table in augmented reality. SEASONS AND GOALS New goals every day. Each season runs four weeks with fifty reward tiers. And for a change of pace: six scenarios, four difficulty levels and Game Center achievements. TIME ON YOUR TERMS A game week goes by in seconds, at speeds from 1× to 16×. Your empire keeps running while you're away: the Dynamic Island counts down to the earnings cap, and you come back to a market that has moved and dividends already paid. BOARD MEMBERSHIP An optional subscription with a one-week free trial on the yearly plan: every video reward without the video, no forced ads, free gems every day, 32× speed, eight companies to found instead of six, and lower fees and interest. No account needed. Plays offline.

The world is in your hands. And in your hands, it will die. Build a pathogen from a single cell and carry it to every corner of the planet. Start with a silent outbreak in one unlucky country… and don't stop until no one is left. But be careful: the moment the world notices you, the best labs on Earth race for the cure. It's you or humanity. Only one wins. A REAL WORLD A 1:1 world map with real data for every country: population, climate, healthcare, cities, airports, seaports and borders. Nigeria doesn't play like Iceland. A rich, cold country is a fortress; a hot, crowded megacity is a powder keg. EVOLVE WITHOUT LIMITS 13 pathogen types — Bacteria, Virus, Fungus, Prion, Bio-Weapon and lethal special plagues — each with its own playstyle. A full evolution tree: spread by air, water, blood and animals; symptoms that chain into devastating combos; and traits to resist cold, heat and drugs. REAL STRATEGY Symptoms make you deadly… but they expose you. Kill too fast and you'll speed up the cure. Hide too long and you'll kill no one. Every game is a knife-edge between stealth and aggression, with decision events that change everything. And yes — even on Normal you can lose if you play badly. MASTER IT A final score and letter grade (can you earn the S?), achievements, special scenarios and difficulties up to Mega Brutal. Easy to learn, brutal to master. No ads. No nonsense. Just you against 8 billion people. How fast can you wipe humanity off the map?
