Welcome to Project Manager SIM - a survival simulator set in the harsh reality of the corporate IT world. Step into the shoes of a project manager and navigate the challenging path from leading a couple of freelancers to running a massive development department. Discover firsthand why perfect plans fall apart, deadlines are missed, and the biggest threat to your release isn't a critical bug in the code, but a broken coffee machine in the kitchen. Inspired by the deep needs-simulation of the genre's cult classics, we've created a game where you manage living, breathing people, not just abstract numbers. And the most important part: YOU ARE NOT THE BIG BOSS! KEY FEATURES: 📈 Office Development & Expansion Your company is growing, and so are your team's demands. Start in a cramped little office and gradually expand your domain. Unlock new zones and rooms: from a spacious kitchen with a fridge to cozy relaxation areas. If your employees have nowhere to eat or grab a coffee, their morale and productivity will plummet to zero. 🧠 People: The Hardest Resource Every developer, QA, and designer on your team is an individual with unique personality traits. Review resumes and hire the right specialists for the job. Consider their quirks: some write code at lightning speed but burn out quickly, while others require constant micromanagement. Delegate tasks wisely: send your seniors to salvage the architecture, and hand the routine work to the juniors. 🔥 Caught Between a Rock and a Hard Place Being a manager means you're always the one to blame. You'll have to balance between two major fires: The Boss: Demands reports, KPI fulfillment, and strict budget adherence. Being called into his office can end in disaster. The Clients: Project stakeholders constantly throw curveballs, change requirements on the fly, and want everything done "yesterday." 📊 Manager Skill Tree (PM Skill Tree) Level up your professional traits. Invest points in Hard Skills to better estimate project deadlines and budgets, or develop Soft Skills to effectively motivate your team, de-escalate conflicts, and confidently hold your ground during executive meetings. ⏰ A Race Against Time The workday is relentlessly ticking away, and the release is at risk. Make tough calls: send the team home to rest and accept a failed sprint, or force everyone into overtime, risking mass resignations due to stress. Can you close all the contracts, keep your team's sanity intact, and prove to upper management that you are the perfect Project Manager?
