A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

A turn-based job-hunting survival sim for programmers.

You're a developer searching for work. You have 12 weeks, dwindling savings, and a mass of skills to juggle. Every week, you decide: study algorithms or polish your frontend? Grind LeetCode or take a gig to pay rent? Send out resumes or prep for that interview?

Features:

  • Energy management — 7 action points per week. Never enough.
  • 5 specializations + general skills — Backend, Frontend, Algorithms, Data Engineering, Infrastructure... go deep or spread wide?
  • 8 companies with distinct personalities — Big corps pay well but are picky. Startups move fast but disappear faster.
  • Dynamic job market — Market trends shift weekly. A backend boom one week, layoffs the next.
  • Tools & Traits — Buy a LeetCode membership, brew your own coffee to save rent money, or land a trait that defines your playstyle.
  • Risk vs. reward — Pad your resume for a better shot, but get caught and you're blacklisted. Take outsource gigs for quick cash, or hold out for the dream offer.
  • Random events — Your laptop dies. Rent goes up. A recruiter slides into your DMs. Life happens.

The job market doesn't care about your feelings. Can you land an offer before your savings hit zero?
