You are born with nothing — a name, a country, and a family you did not choose. From there, one year at a time, you decide who you become. WiseMan is a life simulator. The street is one road, not the only one. You can stay in school and become a doctor. You can open a shop and turn it into a holding company. You can run for office. Or you can take the other door, and find out what it costs. ONE CHOICE A YEAR Every year hands you a card. A friend needs an alibi. Your father calls for money. A stranger offers you work you shouldn't take. There is no right answer — only the answer you can live with, and the years that follow it. WHAT YOU CHOOSE COMES BACK A choice is not a number. Take the blame for someone today and, six years from now, a door opens that was closed to everyone else. Look away, and someone remembers. The game keeps your record and reads it back to you. THE INFLUENCE LADDER Street, money, office and name — four pillars, one score, seven rungs, from Kid of the Block to Legend. The top rungs do not fit inside a single life: a dynasty needs a second generation, a legend a third. A WHOLE LIFE, NOT A MENU Fall in love, marry, raise children, lose people. Study, work, get promoted, get fired. Buy a car, a shop, a house, a ship. Get sick, get old. Chronic illness does not go away — you manage it, and pay for it, for the rest of your life. Prison changes what people will do with you afterwards. WHEN YOU DIE, IT ISN'T OVER Your child inherits your name, your debts and your reputation. The Dynasty Book records the peak of every life — not the moment you died, but the highest you ever stood. BORN ANYWHERE Pick from over 250 countries and regions. Where you are born changes the names around you, the money in the house, the schools, the work, and the roads open to you. 22 LANGUAGES Written for each language, not run through a translator. Free to play. Optional purchases and rewarded ads; you can remove ads for good. No account, no sign-up. Your save lives on your phone and the game works offline.

You spent three years at Titan building someone else's ideas. Then you pitched one of your own, and your boss killed it in a conference room. So you quit, maxed out three credit cards, and started a company in your mother's garage. Eleven months later, Titan walked onto a stadium stage with your slides. CEO is an interactive story where every decision costs money and every dollar has to come from somewhere. Choose where your company lives, who you hire, what you build and what you charge for it. Read resumes, negotiate salaries, and hand work to your team in a living office that grows as you do. Pick your investors carefully, because the fine print on a term sheet can take the company away from you two chapters later. The story follows the real arc of a startup. Launch a beta with a hundred thousand dollars and an old laptop. Put a price on the door and watch your first payday land, or not. Take the seed money and read what you gave up for it. Get sued by Titan, hire a lawyer you can afford, and take the stand in a federal courtroom where every word is on the record. Testify before the Senate. Raise a Series A and find out what it means to own less than half of something you built. Survive the free copycat, the poaching calls, the merger offer and the live television interview opposite the man who stole your idea. Then come the scandal, the boardroom fight for your job, a factory on the other side of the world, and the last decision: go public, sell to Titan, or stay private. Your choices carry forward. The data you trained on in the garage decides whether the publishers come for you. The investor you took decides who tries to fire you. The engineer you hired decides who Titan tries to hire away. Nothing is a fail screen, but everything is remembered. Between the decisions, the company keeps running. Users sign up, revenue comes in, rent and payroll go out, and when the balance can't cover the month, the team gets paid before the story moves on. Timers mark the work that takes time, from the first training run to the migration that moves the whole company onto new machines. A cast with its own agendas: a former CFO who tells you when you're making a mistake, a reporter who calls when things go wrong, a judge who has read the internet's opinion of your model, and a rival who says your name on stage in front of forty thousand people. Nine chapters, from the garage to the stock exchange. CEO Club is an optional subscription that removes waits and ads, adds ten percent to your revenue and new users, and pays you daily cash. It is not required to finish the story. Terms of Use: https://moreclues.com/terms
