Software Inc. is a deep simulation game that puts players in control of a growing software company. Instead of simply releasing products, players must manage every aspect of the business, from hiring the right talent to designing efficient office spaces. The game begins with a small team and a basic idea, but it quickly expands into a complex world where decisions have real consequences. Every employee has unique skills, personality traits, and needs, making staff management a key part of success.
Developing software in Software Inc. is a layered process. Players must plan projects, assign tasks, and balance deadlines with quality. Researching new technologies unlocks better tools and products, while marketing and sales strategies determine how well the market receives your releases. The game also includes realistic financial management, requiring careful budgeting, pricing, and investment in growth. Competition is fierce, and staying ahead means adapting to trends and improving your company’s reputation.
The office-building system adds another strategic layer. Layout, equipment, and comfort affect productivity, and a well-designed workplace can boost morale and efficiency. As the company grows, players can expand into new markets, develop multiple products, and even acquire rivals. Software Inc. is ideal for players who enjoy long-term planning, management depth, and the challenge of building a business from the ground up.
