From a garage to a global empire
It starts with a laptop and an idea. Pick a skill and it goes to work: progress bars fill, XP rolls in, money stacks up. Spend it, level up, and whole departments unlock as your company climbs from a one-person Garage Startup to a Corporate Office across four tiers.
Hand the grind to the machine
Once you know the loop, you can stop doing it yourself. The Auto tab gives you toggleable auto-managers for hiring, training, investing, research, contracts and more, so your company runs itself while the numbers climb. Plenty of runs end up mostly in the background, checked every few hours to unlock the next upgrade, which is exactly the point of an idle game. You decide how hands-on to be: steer every purchase early on, then gradually build a machine that needs nothing from you but the occasional glance.
