In the career simulator «Making It», each turn equals one year of your life. You begin at the lowest rung, choosing among ten professions: from courier and cleaner to doctor, programmer or official.
Each year starts with an event, after which you spend action points: work towards KPIs, rest, study, scheme, take risks or relax. There's never enough time, and any leftovers disappear at the end of the year.
Keep an eye on four indicators: stress (100% leads to burnout), energy (0% means exhaustion), reputation (0% results in being ousted by the team), and KPIs (determine whether you get promoted or fired).
But a career is more than just work. Communicate with colleagues, pursue hobbies, take vacations, build relationships and start a family. Spend your money on housing, appearance, transportation, courses and savings.
Choose a company that suits your style: startup, state office or corporation. Unlock traits and numerous achievements. Each career ends differently: retirement, dismissal or burnout. The connections you make strengthen your next life.
How to play
In the game «Making It: career simulator», each turn represents a year of your life, starting at 25 and going until retirement. Each year begins with an event that you need to read and choose a response to. You have four action points per year that you can spend on work, rest, study, schemes, risks, communication with colleagues, and hobbies. Unused points are lost. After using your points, you can press «Next year» to see your salary and report.
There are four important bars to keep an eye on: stress (100 means burnout), energy (0 means exhaustion), and reputation (0 can get you fired). Your KPI determines your career progression: fall below the minimum and you'll get a warning, two warnings in a row mean dismissal, and meeting the target can lead to promotion.
KPI increases through the «Work» action, with its effectiveness depending on your skills and completed courses. Without studying, top positions will be unattainable.
Don't forget about people and yourself: ignored colleagues will drift away, and a year without hobbies will increase your stress level.
Money is spent on the «Life» screen: housing, image, transport, courses, and savings.
The ending earns you Connections, which unlock new job opportunities and bonuses for future careers.
