Aug. 2025

this is real hidden gem, i believe dev wasted thousand hours for bringing it to this level. one of the best game I've ever played. (I'm an engineer and a manager in a car manufacturer in real world)

July 2025

Spreadsheet Simulator. Exceptionally deep and immensely gratifying to make the money printer go brr. I love the way the sales engine works, giving me flexibility to make fewer (much) more expensive units that I can still sell, if my vehicle quality is higher. You can take many different approaches to growing. The breadth of systems is very impressive. For my first playthrough I made a sedan from the tutorial, it was fine, it made some money to design something better. I designed a 2+2 Coupe that smoked everything else on the market, but I had just one small factory. I could have licensed the vehicle for some extra cash, but instead I just focused on delivering the higher quality vehicle at much higher prices, which gave me the money to expand factories very quickly. After I upgraded and built many factories I still had tons of cash flow, so I designed a few more components and vehicles. That gave me options to start putting out multiple trims to earn more market share as well as new classes to fill my factory production lines without even dropping prices. When I started running out of customers I invested in branches around the country. Now I'm a North America-wide manufacturer producing three vehicles with many more on the way and the money is flowing. As I run out of customers for my higher end units I'll make a cheaper marque and sell higher production versions as well! On top of this I'm able to sell some of my vehicles and components on contracts to racing teams, militaries, etc. which can both subsidize new designs and make extra cash off existing ones. This is what I mean when I say this game has insane depth. I picked this game up in just a few hours thanks to the great tutorials and videos. I look forward to playing my company through the decades but also trying different approaches and going back to play through 1900s and on, and see how the wars disrupt my business. I'm really glad to have the mega menu to ease toil on changing production and prices, ending production, etc. What a glorious game. If you love tycoon or business simulator games or even management modes in sports games, and you like cars, this game is made for you. The demo is nearly fully featured, so give it a shot. I'm really glad I did. To the developer, thank you for making a great game. In terms of feedback I have this: 1. If I make components for a contract and have extras I'd like them to go to local supply at that factory to be sold in other contracts, etc. Right now I seem to lose the excess, and there is often significant excess. If I'm not losing it, I don't know how to see it. 2. The map could use some love. I'd like to see factories and branches on the map, and visualizations of my sales flowing from the factories to which cities they are shipping to. 3. Adjusting sales to meet demand feels like a game of cat and mouse. I kind of feel I'm doing a lot of guess and check, even though I can use the report attached to the vehicle price at a branch to see sales projections. I'd like a way to see supply/demand graphs for the projections, or something similar, so it's a bit easier to adjust my price to best fit demand instead of guessing and checking over a few months. Maybe that's intentionally part of the game, but I find I spend a lot of time on it.

Nov. 2024

This is possibly the most in depth and polished industry simulator ever created. The attention to detail is incredible and shows how passionate this developer is. The stock market aspect of the game alone is miles ahead of anything else and this is a game about making cars so that should tell you how much work and attention to detail this developer put into this game. I haven't been this addicted to a game in years.

Oct. 2024

This game is pretty great if you're into management games. It's really got everything you could want in an auto-company-management-sim. I'm absolutely this games core demographic, and I've bounced off it's peers covering this industry, but this one keeps me coming back. I can tell this game was a labor of love. And yes, the menu system is retro, but navigating is simple and becomes second nature very quickly. For me the menus even a bit nostalgic. What's more amazing is Eric. I've peeked around on reddit and the forums and he is incredibly transparent and active in communicating with the community around his game and tycoon/sim games in general. For a game he started making over a decade ago he's still very active and supporting it today while working on his next project. 10/10. This guy deserves your money, and the game is absolutely worth every penny.

Sept. 2024

One of the best spreadsheet simulators in the game industry, played it for quite a lot of hours now and I'm still enjoying every single bit of it. Looking forward for further improvements to this already good game, I'll highly recommend it.
