Ventured vs CEO Tycoon

You have $60,000 and one decision to make. **What do you build?** VENTURED is a business empire simulator about real decisions and what they cost you. Start a coffee shop, gym, construction firm, online store, software company, or one of 19 unique businesses — then run it one month at a time and watch the economy answer back. Set prices. Hire people. Buy equipment. Borrow, expand, or protect your cash. Every month, VENTURED tells you exactly what happened to your money — and why. ► **BUILD AN EMPIRE, ONE MONTH AT A TIME** Start with one business. Run it well and you can own several — a software firm, three coffee shops, a logistics company — and watch a net worth that started at $60,000 climb into the millions. Growth is the reward, not the given. Every dollar you make came from a decision you can point at. ► **19 BUSINESSES, 19 DIFFERENT GAMES** A coffee shop loses its margin to rising costs. A construction firm runs out of cash waiting for customers to pay. A software company hires too fast and stops being able to ship. A gym lives or dies on January. A food truck lives on summer. An online store earns its year in December. Each industry has its own decisions, its own season, and its own way of killing you. ► **PROFITABLE AND BROKE — THE TRAP THAT'S REAL** Most business games only track one number going up. Real businesses can fail while profitable, because profit is not cash. VENTURED shows you both — and explains, in plain language, why they disagree. ► **THE LEDGER: EVERY DOLLAR, EXPLAINED** Tap any number and the receipt behind it opens. Revenue. Cost of goods. Payroll. Rent. Interest. Tax. Net income. See the real financial statement in words you already know. No hidden math. No “your empire grew!” with nothing behind it. ► **LEARN AS YOU PLAY** No business background needed. Previews before major decisions, monthly recaps that explain which choices caused the consequences, and lessons that use the numbers from your own company instead of a textbook. Understand cash flow, margin, payroll, working capital, and debt by running a company — not by reading about one. ► **BUILD YOUR FOUNDER RECORD** Retire and bank a Founder Score. Unlock harder starts, new industries, challenges, milestones, and mastery contracts. Every failed run makes the next one sharper. ► **FEATURES** • 19 businesses, each with its own economy, season, and failure mode • Thousands of business events and decisions • Hiring, pricing, marketing, products, equipment, locations, debt, and investment • Clear previews before every important action • Plain-language financial statements and monthly recaps • Lessons taught with your own company's numbers • Challenges, milestones, Founder Mastery, and replayable runs • Fully offline — no account, no sign-in, and no connection needed **Build carefully. Take risks. Learn from what happens.** Made in Canada.

Everyone thinks they could run a company. Here's your chance to find out — usually in under ten minutes. CEO Tycoon: Don't Get Fired is a pixel-art decision game about the job everybody assumes they'd be good at. Every day drops a stack of memos on your desk, and none of them have a clean answer. Pick fast. The board is watching the same four numbers you are. A DAY AT THE TOP - Read the memo, pick a side. There's rarely a right answer, only a bill that arrives later. - Four numbers judge everything you do: cash, board trust, team morale and the stock price. - Every call comes with a receipt, so you see exactly what it cost. - When you close the day, the market closes with it. Even a quiet day costs money. - Duck a decision and it doesn't go away. It comes back older, and it brings friends. FOUR INDUSTRIES, FOUR KINDS OF TROUBLE Run a tech startup, an airline, a restaurant or a drug company. Burn rates and breaches, grounded fleets and unions, health inspectors and one viral review, clinical trials and pricing scandals. Same rules, very different disasters. A COMPANY WITH A PULSE Walk the headquarters floor and watch your decisions show up in the room. When morale and results are good, desks fill up. When they slide, people drift to the lobby. THE BOARD REMEMBERS Lose their trust and you're walked out with a cardboard box. Burn through the cash and the company folds around you. Either way you get the post-mortem: how many days you lasted, and the decision that finished you. IT'S A CAREER, NOT A RUN Getting fired isn't the end — it's a line on your record. Every company hands you a mandate with real targets: reach the deadline with the cash, the trust and the morale to show for it. Hit them and the badge is permanent. Miss them and your contract quietly ends. Then two new companies land on the table, and you choose whose mess to inherit. MAKE IT. FRAME IT. Earn thirty collectible achievement posters, from your first call to the Triple Crown, and hang your favorite on the corner-office wall. RUN IT YOUR WAY - Eleven executives to be, from a steady owl to a wolf nobody has ever asked to repeat itself. - Your CEO's face changes with the quarter. So do the four animals on the board. - Want a new face at the top? Hire a new CEO with company cash, or for free after every mandate you complete. - Build out the corner office with desk pieces you arrange yourself, and staff the HQ floor with new hires. - 8-bit art throughout, and a synthwave soundtrack that shifts when the pressure does. MADE FOR IPHONE DUO Unfold it and the memo sits right beside your desk, with the HQ floor and your office side by side. Fold it and the same day carries on on the outer screen, mid-decision. Portrait or landscape, the game follows you. NO ADS. NO TIMERS. NO ENERGY BARS. Optional cosmetic packs are permanent, one-time purchases, and not one of them touches the game. The entire career is playable without spending anything. Requires an internet connection — your career lives on the server, so it survives closing the app. Sign in with Apple, optionally, and it survives a new phone too.
