Inside the arcade

Other games let you build a fake company.We let you run a real one.

Pick a cabinet off the wall. Pay $49. Mission Control opens the second you check out. Your 30-day clock starts. We build the underlying app in the background. You start playing immediately.

Your dashboard tells you what to do today. Your advisor board reads your business and tells you what they'd do. Your AI staff ships the work you sign off on. Customers find your cabinet. They pay. The chart climbs.

The chart climbing is the same chart Stripe is showing your bank.

What makes this different

Four things make
this different.

01

The wall, not the canvas.

Other tools ask "what do you want to build?" We ask "which company do you want to run?" Over 628 fully-bonded software companies, ready to claim.

02

Game starts at checkout.

Pay $49 and Mission Control opens immediately. 500 credits in your treasury. A daily briefing waiting. The build runs while you play.

03

Every move has a price tag.

Domain: 120 credits. Logo refresh: 100. Feature ship: 300 to 750. Quoted before you commit. Unused credits return to your treasury.

04

The money is real.

Real customers pay your cabinet through Stripe. The rest lands in your treasury as "earned credits." Reinvest, or cash out to your bank.

How to play · five steps

What you actually do.

Your save file is your business. Every day is a run.

Step 01

Pick. Take the matcher, or walk the wall.

Six questions, sixty seconds. Each cabinet shows you who buys it, how to find your first customer, and what the advisors think.

Step 02

Press start. $49. The cabinet is yours.

Mission Control opens. 500 credits land in your treasury. The 30-day clock starts.

Step 03

Power up. Spend credits on the moves you've been planning.

The domain. The branding refresh. The feature you've been planning. The campaign you want to test. Every action gets a quote first.

Step 04

Score. Customers pay. The chart climbs.

You watch revenue compound. Achievements pop. Health score goes up.

Step 05

Cash out — or replay.

At month-end, your earned credits become cash in your bank. Or roll them back in for the next stage. Or claim a second cabinet.

Mission Control.

Your save file looks like this. The daily briefing from your Chief of Staff. The mission queue. The advisor board reading your numbers. The AI staff icons lighting up as they ship the work you approved.

Treasury balance. Customer count. Health score. The 30-day clock — always counting.

You make the calls. Everyone else runs the play.

Who this is for.

  • Sim fans who want a business management game with actual stakes. (If you ever sunk hours into Game Dev Tycoon or Software Inc, this is the next thing.)
  • Builders without code who want a real software company without writing a real codebase. The AI staff does that part. You run the business.
  • Streamers and creators who want a new format with built-in drama. Watch yourself go from 0 customers to a real bank deposit on stream.

Who this is not for.

  • Anyone expecting guaranteed customers. Real customers don't always show up on day one. Your distribution and decisions make the chart climb.
  • Anyone who wants to write the code. The AI staff handles that. If building the software directly is what you want, you want a different product.
Quick answers

Common worries, plain answers.

What if no one buys?

Distribution is your job. The matcher weights toward your strengths and your audience, but no one guarantees customers. The trade is concrete: $49 to start, not months of building.

What happens after the first 30 days?

The Operator Plan ($49/mo at Level 1) renews from earned credits if you have them. If not, your card. Another 500 credits land. Cancel anytime. Full lifecycle on How it works.

Do I keep the brand if I stop playing?

The brand pack is licensed to you while your cabinet is active. There's a buyout path for operators who want to own the brand, code, and domain outright (see the Operator agreement).

How does revenue actually get to me?

Customers pay your cabinet through Stripe. Platform fees come off. What's left becomes earned credits. Earned credits become cash via Stripe Connect after KYC and settlement. Full mechanics: Economy · Credit & economy.

What about taxes?

You're operating a real business. Earned credits trigger normal income reporting (we'll send the right paperwork). Same as any side project. We're not your accountant.
