We’re deeply passionate about simulation games. In recent years, nearly everything has had a simulator — but most are left unfinished, or require purchasing separate games for each experience.
Thanks to the experience we gained from the dark and intense atmosphere of our first game, The Nefargad, we set our sights on something much bigger: Bringing all simulation experiences together in a single game.
📌 We started with the most popular types of businesses: gas station, station market, supermarket, and car wash. But even from the very beginning, we knew this world wouldn't be limited to just these businesses. We knew our game would evolve together with the community during early access. That’s why we decided to build a dynamic game framework — one that could expand from restaurants to car dealerships.
👥 And that’s when we made a key decision to unlock the game’s role-playing potential: CO-OP support. Players can manage the entire facility solo — or team up with friends, share responsibilities, and experience the world together. The choice is entirely theirs.
🗺️ We planned the map: roads, entry and exit points, and potential future business locations. With the experience we gained from building systems in The Nefargad, we focused on designing dynamic systems for a larger and more interactive world: dynamic economy 📊, day–night cycle, weather system 🌧️, NPC behaviors, and a reputation system. All of these systems were built to directly affect player decisions and gameplay.
📅 Then we created our development roadmap and the production phase began. The path we’ve taken so far was shaped by our belief that someday, you'd walk it with us.
🎯 And now, we’re in the final stages of development. We’re almost ready for Early Access — but we’re entering the most exciting phase: testing, optimization, final touches... and most importantly, sharing this world with you.
⭐ Add the game to your wishlist, tell your friends, mention us to streamers and YouTubers. Support us — because this isn’t just a game. It’s a world we’re building together!
