CRUNCH: Studio Tycoon
No ratings yet · Free · 7 MBWhat it is
Build a game studio empire over fifty years, hire staff, and ship titles.
Build the empire. Keep the receipts.
CRUNCH is a dark, cutthroat studio-management tycoon. You start alone in a 1982 garage with a little cash and a lot of nerve — and claw your way to a game-industry empire across fifty brutal years.
Make games. Make money. Make enemies.
DESIGN GAMES THAT MATTER (OR SELL)
Pick a topic, a genre, and a platform, then steer three stages of development across nine craft fields. Balance design against technology, match your focus to what the genre demands, squash the bugs you can afford to, and ship it — then watch four critics decide your fate in real time.

BUILD A TEAM. THEN MIND IT.
Hire programmers, artists, designers, and writers, each with their own talent, traits, and breaking point. Crunch buys speed and costs souls. Push too hard and your best people burn out and walk — straight into a rival's open door.
SURVIVE THE INDUSTRY
Predatory publishers. A venture capitalist whose money is a leash. Lawsuits, leaks, scandals, console wars, and a charismatic rival who considers your existence a rounding error. Eighty-plus events force real trade-offs: money or morale, reputation or quality, your integrity or your survival.
GROW AN EMPIRE
Research new genres and engine features. Move out of the garage, into a studio floor, a tower, a campus. Build your own console. Launch a live-service operation the players never leave. Forty fictional platforms rise and fall across six eras of an industry that eats its own.
EVERY CHOICE IS A TRADE
An authored story with a cast you'll grow attached to — and multiple endings. The empire. The acquisition. The cult legend. The reckoning. The landfill. How you get there is up to you, and it costs something either way.
- 14 genres, 44 topics, 40 platforms across 6 eras

Built in a garage. Like everything else worth keeping.
