Tech Scene Simulator

You just got your first job offer at a tech startup. Now what?

Tech Scene Simulator is a choice-based career simulation game that takes you on a deep dive into the Indonesian tech industry's workforce - from your first day of onboarding to your exit strategy (or burnout).

ABOUT THIS GAME
Every month, you are faced with real-world events in the tech scene: unnecessary meetings, inter-team drama, tempting side projects, salary raises, to offers to change companies. Every decision affects your reputation, stress, finances, and career.

MANAGE YOUR STATS

Reputation -> how much you are trusted at the office

Stress -> too high, and you burnout

XP & Level -> get a promotion, unlock new events

Financial -> salary, savings, installments, and monthly expenses

Network & Luck -> sometimes connections are more important than skill

SHOP & ASSETS
Buy vehicles, upgrade your residence, or pay off new gadgets. Your lifestyle choices affect your monthly cashflow.

WILDCARD EVENTS
Every now and then, unexpected events can change everything - founder fraud, intel operations, or sudden promotions. Ready or not.

MULTIPLE ENDINGS
How your career ends depends on the course of the story:
• Burnout: you are finished before reaching the peak
• Bankrupt: financial collapse, game over
• Founder Fraud: you get dragged into a company scandal
• Spy-gate: career forcibly stopped due to a scandal
• Retired: exit strategy runs smoothly

SAVE SLOTS
Save your progress in multiple slots and try different career paths.

Suitable for those of you who have worked in tech, are looking for work, or are simply curious: if I were in that position, what would I do?
