One of my idea's:
Business of corruption:
You recently won the lottery.
Instead of wasting the money like so many you plan to start up your own business.
But as you soon learn the megacorps have ensured that small business are doomed to failure.
Via stuff like unfair laws, outbidding or selling for cheap.
If you try and play like a moral company.
Your doomed.
You need to be just as corrupt as the megacorps.
However you dont have an army of lawers to keep the law of your back.
So you have to be smart:
Gameplay:
Management:
You build a business(store, stripclub, transport, etc)
The main gameplay loop is trying to earn money with the cards stacked against you.
Mind control: Of the subliminal kind.
You use the business intercom to constantly play just below hearing range the same commands over and over again.
You can use these to make people work overtime for free or work for free*
*Workers need to eat and sleep so if they work for free you need to make sure the can get food for free via farming and beds.
Prostituetion: The real money maker.
While illigal mind controling your workers to whore themselves for you helps you make a lot of money.
Corruption: The main theme of the game.
In order to make a profit you need to do increasing immoral things as while as set up the means to do so.
Meaby you own a transport company.
You could dip into the slave trade.
Massive amount of money to be made.
Just make sure your staff is braishwashed enough to not report it to the police.
Speaking of which.
You need to avoid getting caught breaking the law.
You dont have an army of lawyers remeber?
Incest: Your able to hire npc that are related and have them fuck eachother or have a mother daughter threesome.
No direct relationship to you.
The idea behind this game is that you start as just a good person who wants to earn money via starting a business.
Only to have to do very immoral things in order to not go bankrupt.
Kidnapping, slavery, rape, mind control, etc.
All of this while trying to avoid getting caught.
A lot of games lack the risk management.
So after working with it for a bit I have polished your idea a bit more to my liking. I would still like to get your commentand thoughts about it. Here it is.
Business Corruption
Backstory
You recently won the lottery.
Instead of wasting the money like so many you plan to start up your own business.
But as you soon learn the megacorps have ensured that small businesses are doomed to failure.
Via stuff like unfair laws, outbidding or selling for cheap.
If you try and play like a moral company.
You're doomed.
You need to be just as corrupt as the megacorps.
However you don't have an army of lawyers to keep the law on your back.
So you have to be smart:
Gameplay :
Management -
As you make a business you can choose between three different types of stores.
A normal store. A stripclub. A slave store.
As you loop through the days, trying to earn money. The other businesses will try to take you down by doing different things that could endanger your store.
By using different means to try to make your business successful you stomp that going against corruption with morals doesn't work. So you begin attacking fire, with more fire.
Mind Control - Store
Using mind control techniques you try to make your employees work harder and efficiently while trying to lower their paycheck until they work for free for you. But you would start needing stocks so that your employees survive the everyday work by giving them food and a bed.
Or you could start sending workers to a farm so you can get food cheaper and more accessible.
Prostitution - Strip Club
While working for a strip club, you can start on a point selling service to your clients.
While illegal, using different means to make your clients sell their bodies to earn more money.
Such as use of mind control techniques, blackmail, threats, and corruption. Depending on which one you use, the results can vary and put your business into more or less danger.
Corruption - Slave Store
For this store to work you need a huge use of corruption with your employers. To begin with, find employers who are willing to work for illegal means but you will try to make them loyal to you. Can still get normal moraly employers to work for you but you will have to corrupt or brainwash them and make them loyal to you while trying to hide what they are actually working for before they get corrupted.
You find and sell people, enslaving them and training them for different clients, transporting them later into different places or to the buyers.
Difficulty -
Depending on the type of business you are willing to work, the difficulty can vary.
Store - Easy
If you work trying to make a store selling toys, magazines, items, whatever comes up. The laws would be less likely to break but as you continue the game and increase the different corrupted means the police will start showing up frequently to confirm everything is right. You can also pay the police to look away if they find anything but it will cost.
Meanwhile the other rival business will act more frequently and try to put you into danger more and more.
Strip club - Normal
If your business is a strip club the difficulty changes. The police will be more frequent here than in the store and the rivals will act less to not put themselves in danger.
While trying to be as safe as possible but still pull strings in the dark the police will show more and more up. You can try to make them use some girls and corrupt them by making them sell their bodies for a low cost or free.
For your rivals you can also start selling them service for lower or free, depending on what choice you make your rivals would be showing up more or less. Every action would have consequences.
Slave Store - Hard
If your business is a slave store or slave trade, things will be difficult. The police will be up more frequently and will try to take your business down. It will be more difficult for them to look away. Capturing girls will make the police be aware of you more and more. Using different means to try to cover everything up so the police don't find you.
Your store for the moment will have a facade for selling something else that covers the truth behind the walls.
As for your rivals, some of them will be your clients, trying to satisfy them in the beginning so they don’t accuse you of anything or make a trap so that police can uncover the truth. While they are highly satisfied they will not act too much against you but they will be having bigger and bigger needs the more it goes.
Goals -
As for the main goal, it begins with being just successful but as you get to know the tricks of others and become more and more corrupted yourself you would like to buy the other businesses and be even more successful.
Depending on where you start, goals may vary.
If playing at Store difficulty, you will try to buy a Strip club and then the Slave store and buy the rivals business.
If playing at Strip Club difficulty you would like to buy the Slave store and normal Store and buy the rivals business.
If playing at Slave Store difficulty you would like to buy the Strip Club and Store to build up your cover and buy the rivals business.
