About the project
A browser game about the Silicon Valley playbook. Each turn you pick moves, react to events (a VC term sheet, a viral tweet, a key hire quitting) and watch the burn. It runs entirely in the browser with local saves and a hall of fame.
The engine is pure functions over a typed game state, so every event and outcome is testable without a UI. The look is 'Paper Trail': ledger paper, rubber-stamp buttons and term-sheet modals.
