You pick an AI founder, such as The Dropout or The Scientist, and move across a map of fights, recruiting stops, treasure and a workshop toward a boss called Hostile Takeover. Fights put your teammates in two rows against rivals like Scope Creeper and Wrapper Startup, and each turn you play one card, such as Ship It or Rate Limit, while attack countdowns tick down and your Runway acts as health. The creator says there are three regions with boss battles, from The Garage to The Endgame. Best on a computer: it is played with a mouse.
How the creator made it
The creator asked Claude Fable for a deckbuilder concept inspired by Slay the Spire and Wildfrost, then had it write a spec and make a prototype with emoji art. They moved the prototype to GPT-6 Astra in ChatGPT and focused first on making a single fight look and feel right. They used ChatGPT to generate diorama-style art for the heroes, enemies and stages, and kept it after testing 3D figures in Blender. The creator says it took about two hours of playing, giving feedback and tuning the game to get to a playable version.
