    A shame this game has been abandoned
    1. There is nothing but scraps for a story.

    2. Gameplay is engaging but very simple. Since you make your profit by selling gossips, you just have to gather them, either via blackmailing people, or hiring your investigators to find some dirt on people. You then use the money to grow your own company, buy out other companies, and upgrade some things in your office. The main mechanic in this game are your interactions with people. You can either blackmail them, to make them your minions, ready to follow your commands just to keep themselves safe, or by being nice, which only works with your employees, as you can improve your relations by giving them raise and such. While there are many interactions to have with characters, all of them are shallow, and quickly become repetitive and boring. For example, blackmailing people always looks the same, with them becoming more obedient with more sessions with you, as well as more blackmail against them. But if you do that with one person, you know what it will look like with everyone else. All characters are basically the same, so nothing interesting happens after the first 30-60 minutes, when you still discover possibilities of this game. After that time, almost instantly it turns into a slow, repetitive game with no depth. All dialogs, all interactions, and all answers start to repeat, and it's hard to ignore.
    3. Graphics need a lot of polish. The models look pretty good, but there are so many visual glitches, that they turn every sex scene into a roulette, with some kind of visual bug as the most likely reward. This problem seemed to emerge with time, because at the very beginning the animations were ok, even if they needed some work, but over time it became more likely to see a blowjob scene, where the girl moves her head right before the dick, or with the head turned in the wrong direction. At some point it became so bad, that the sex scenes were only good for a laugh, with you guessing what kind of bug would you see this time. There also isn't a lot of variety with scenes, with 3 available in total. There are also some interactions that don't have animations at all, like slapping, or fingering the girls. The amount of bugs make this game a real porn game only for about 30 minutes, after which it's pretty hard to have pleasure from sex scenes. Even fun stuff, like upgrades get boring, with visual upgrades very limited, and upgrades to bought companies leaving you without any visual effect, just a short email. This is all something that could be fixed and upgraded further, but sadly the game became abandoned a long time ago, so there's really no hope of it becoming what it could have been.
    In the end this was a game with a massive potential, seeing how it was developed by the guy who made Stationmaster, but I guess it was too much work, or something like that. I don't know an actual reason for him to abandon it :< It's a big shame, as I love these kinds of games, and I was really hyped when it came out. But seeing how the dev really isn't coming back, I have to review it in its current, broken state. I really hope that someone would take this concept, and turned it into a truly great management porn game. If you want to play it, even in its broken state, go ahead, it's not that bad. But you'll be disappointed by either the current state of the game, and how broken it is, or by the fact it had so much potential, that will not be realized. SAD

    The game is currently in its beginnings. (0.1.1)
    The 3D graphics are already quite well, the animations could use some more 'love'. The male genitals are currently crippled and the save/load system seems buggy.

    After starting a new game you find yourself in your own company with one employee and 10.000$. The game world are two floors in a skyscraper: the office area and your penthouse both being connected by an elevator.

    The office area is used to "work" and the pent house is used to "relax". Inside the office are there is a "build mode" where you can build worspaces for your employees.

    In both areas you got a computer which you can use to do different tasks and hire new employees.

    The main goal of the game is to build up your empire by making money and taking over other companies.

    You gain money and influence by blackmailing employees of the other companies. The information to blackmail them is either gained by talking to ppl or by blackmailing them into sex actions where you film them.

    Same blackmailing options are also valid for your own employees who do clean your penthouse or do administrative / research tasks for you.

    Currently there is *a lot* of reading and clicking in the game. The tasks are quite repetitve but the overall game idea is quite nice and I see some potential in this game.

    The rating does not respect the current bugs, I suppose the DEV will fix them ASAP. The "read a lot" nature is the -1 star for me...
