About This Game
A management sim built around the invention and sale of futuristic gadgets. The player starts with a dilapidated warehouse and a small budget, then builds a business by researching technology, hiring employees, buying equipment, and going to market with original products. Patents can be filed on discovered technology to charge rival companies for use. The game supports both honest and cutthroat strategies — sabotaging competitors is a legitimate path to market dominance.
