You have taken over a small seaside resort: 8 rooms, 2 stars and guests waiting at the gate. Lobi is a hotel management game where every decision is yours. A DAY AT THE RESORT • Morning briefing: you set the nightly rate; market, season and your star rating shape demand. • Booking offers: couples, families, retirees, business guests... each with its own rate and length of stay. Accept or decline. • Walk-ins at the gate: give them a room, gamble on a higher rate or turn them away. • Guest requests: late checkout, room service, noise complaints, extra linen. Miss them and satisfaction drops. • Operations alerts: breakdowns, empty stock, worn-out property, missing staff. Snoozing is a decision too. • Daily report card: a grade from A to F, streaks and goals. GROW • Star inspections: upkeep, review score, stock and a fault-free property. 3 stars unlock Block B, 4 stars Block C, 5 stars the villas. • Facilities: bar, restaurant, spa, pool, conference hall, kids club, water sports, evening shows, laundry, solar panels, beach. • Staff: housekeepers, receptionists, waiters, entertainers, technicians, each solving a bottleneck. • Tour operator contracts, loyal guests, a guest book collection and a quest chain. HONEST RULES • The game never progresses in the background; you resume exactly where you left off. • Your save syncs across devices with iCloud. • Growth has a price: bigger hotels break down more, inspections get stricter, winter is quiet.

About

Rich Routine

Features
Read full description

The number to watch is not the salary. It is what is left of it. You pick a job, the city you live in, and one thing you are after. Then the months come: pay lands, costs are taken out, and something is left over — or nothing is. The game runs until what you own covers what you spend, or that day never arrives. HOW TO PLAY You roll, you move. On some squares two deals come up and you can take only one: price, down payment, monthly yield and risk are all written in front of you. If your cash falls short you can borrow — the instalment is written there too, because "borrow" on its own is just a promise. Everything you buy goes onto your statement. Your coverage shows how much of your monthly costs your passive income pays for. Reach 100% and you are out of The Grind; the road to your dream starts after that. THE NUMBERS ARE NOT INVENTED Salaries, rents, groceries and bills, deposit and bond yields all come from real data. Change country or city and the tempo changes: a cheap city gets you out early but your pay falls behind inflation, an expensive one drowns you in the first years. Twenty jobs, from courier to doctor, each with its own income, costs and debt. NO ACCOUNT, NO INTERNET, NO DATA There is no sign-up. The game runs on your phone and your progress stays on your phone. Nothing is collected and nothing is sent anywhere. No ads. THE FIRST 7 DAYS ARE FREE From the moment you install it, the whole game is open for seven days: twenty jobs, twenty dreams, every screen. After that, a subscription of 49.90 TRY per month is required to keep playing, and your saved game stays where it is. Payment is charged to your Apple Account on confirmation. The subscription renews itself unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; you can cancel it on the Subscriptions page in your device settings. Turkish and English.
