How it feels

A lighthearted, turn-based management sim that uses cartoony visuals and procedural events to parody the chaotic life of game development.

What players say

Players enjoy the funny, accurate look at game development with turn-based 'argument' fights inspired by South Park. Some report bugs and crashing, and several note the game feels incomplete with a missing act 3 and little reason to replay.
