Tech Mogul Game

Turn a struggling software studio into a thriving success. Make the tough calls on people, product, pricing and survival. Every run is a fresh turnaround story.

Step Into The Mess

You just bought a flawed software company: churn creeping up, engineers exhausted, a roadmap nobody believes in, morale sagging. Your job is to make it work before the cash (and patience) runs out.

There is no waiting for bars to fill. You look, decide, act, watch the ripple, and pivot. Who do you keep? What do you ship? Where do you cut? When do you double down? How close to the edge do you dare to run?

What You Do

• Pick a starting company: hidden gem, bloated underperformer, near-collapse.
• Stabilize: slow the churn, calm the team, plug product gaps.
• Invest or squeeze: train for long-term lift or milk short-term cash.
• Shape the product: prioritize retention, upsell, differentiation.
• Tune pricing and positioning: experiment, react, pivot.
• Ride events: audits, poaches, outages, lucky advisor offers.
• Scale or exit: dominate, go public, or sell high before decay sets in.

How It Feels

Focused, tense, readable. You scan a dashboard, spot a pressure point, make a call, and feel the consequences. The game rewards foresight and adaptation, not memorizing scripts.

Core Tensions

• Grow fast vs build resilience
• Train and improve vs deliver now
• Hire aggressively vs protect runway
• Premium pricing vs land and expand
• Patch debt vs chase shiny features

Features

• Distinct starting scenarios that reshape your opening year.
• Departments that affect each other when neglected or overpushed.
• Crises and opportunities that emerge from your own risk profile.
• Clear cause and effect: see why numbers moved, not just that they changed.
• Multiple win styles: steady compounder, dramatic rescue, explosive blitz.
• Difficulty modes from relaxed recovery to ruthless survival.

Stories You Might Tell

• We almost folded, then one enterprise deal saved the quarter.
• I paused feature work, poured into quality, and churn collapsed.
• I gambled on a pricing pivot; revenue dipped then expansion exploded.
• Support melted down after reckless releases; rebuilding morale became the real battle.

Why Come Back

Different industries, different weak spots, different early pressures. The company you failed to fix last time becomes the one you master next. Choices echo. Momentum matters. Mastery feels earned.

If This Is For You

You enjoy management games where numbers tell stories, tradeoffs bite, and every quarter feels like a cliff edge you chose. Then you are in the right place.

Wishlist, follow along, and help shape the balance during early development.
