MANIFESTO

Step into a ruthless corporate arena where every move matters and humanity is negotiable. MANIFESTO drops you into the next-level venture after you’ve proven your survival instincts in cutthroat competition. The game asks you to push beyond empathy, chasing growth while answering to shareholders who can never be fully satisfied. Satire and strategy collide as you navigate a world where reputation, numbers, and pressure collide in an endless cycle of deals, deltas, and deadlines.

Core premise: balance ambition with ethics, profitability with risk, and control with consequence. You must build a scalable organization, drive sales, and endure the relentless scrutiny of a board that speaks in quarterly reports and sharp feedback. The longer you stay in the game, the tighter the screws tighten—the board’s expectations grow, but so do the challenges you must outwit to keep the empire intact.

• Make extremely ethical decisions to keep the sales flowing
• Hire employees, then burn them out for profit
• Reach entirely unrealistic sale targets in a small amount of time
• Unlock power-ups & stack effects to juice those numbers
• Expand & level up your company, but try not to crumble under the pressure

MANIFESTO challenges you to manage a living, breathing enterprise. Dash through dashboards that track cash flow, morale, investor sentiment, and market trends. Each decision ripples across departments, partnerships, and brand reputation. The tempo quickens as you scale, with new tools and tactics that amplify your reach—but each gain increases exposure to risk, backlash, and scrutiny.

Power-ups appear as strategic levers: marketing blitzes, efficiency bonuses, recruitment accelerators, and favorable vendor terms. They stack into a momentum engine that can catapult you ahead of rivals, but the more you stack, the more fragile your position becomes. A single misstep can undo momentum in an instant, and crises are never far away.

The world of MANIFESTO is sharp, humorous, and unforgiving. The Chief Shareholders Officer voices the verdict whenever you fall short: you’ll be fired, the company will be liquidated, and you’ll be left staring at a ledger you can never quite reconcile. It’s a strategic test wrapped in satire—a mirror that asks how far you’re willing to go to win the market, and what you’re willing to leave behind in the process.

Are you ready to push beyond ethics, exceed impossible targets, and endure the pressure until you either command the market or vanish from the ledger?
