Patch Tycoon
Read full descriptionHide full description
Patch Tycoon is an offline-first studio strategy game about making thoughtful releases. Choose a product brief and guide it through a visual release board. Plan work cards, complete focused sprints, manage visible risks, then choose whether to ship, cut scope, or delay. Every decision becomes part of a portfolio that remembers how you built your studio. Close qualified workdays, grow through six distinct briefs, and begin a new season while keeping your lifetime portfolio intact. Patch Tycoon works offline and keeps gameplay progress on your device. An optional, player-initiated rewarded ad may be available in an eligible Day Summary. It grants $60 of in-game cash after an earned reward and is never required to play. Patch Tycoon has no in-app purchases or subscriptions.
