About Malware Tycoon

Destroy All Technology?

The year is 2002. Upon visiting your local dump scavenging for car parts, you came across an abandoned PC. "Weird", you thought, "It looks pretty modern. Who would throw something like this out?". Upon hooking it up, you realize this computer belonged to a former NSA agent and has tools on it to make and distribute malware. With these programs, you could make money, you could mess with your friends, you could destroy computers... you could destroy ALL computers.

Malicious Thoughts

With this newfound goal in mind, you get to work. You visit Grewgle. You spread your malware to unsuspecting users on forums. You make your malware spreadable to the point where thousands of computers can be infected in mere weeks. You begin to learn more and more about malware development to the point where those thousands turn into hundreds of thousands, or even millions. What can the antivirus companies do about it? How far can you take this before you get caught? Your decisions will form the answers to these questions.

Multiple Scenarios

There are many things you can do with these programs so graciously provided by the NSA. Maybe you can become a millionaire. Maybe you'll destroy all technology. Maybe you're just in it to see how many computers you can infect before getting caught. Malware Tycoon supports all of these goals, and so much more. Simply pick a scenario, and get to work on your goals, whatever those might be.

Are you ready?

Malware Tycoon requires a sharp mind, and quick decision-making skills. Learning how to create the perfect malware takes time and money. Want to procrastinate? Waste time? You won't get far no matter what your goal is. Keep an eye on your bank account, grow your cash flow, continuously learn, and stay one step ahead of the game. You're not the only malware dev out there either - you really can't trust anyone on the World Wide Web. Find your way into destruction, wealth, and infections before someone else does it for you.

This is a hard pass from me. There's just a lot of small things wrong with it, and unfortunately they added up very quickly. I didn't personally find it much fun either, and after about 30 minutes I was already sick of playing it. There are things here that I genuinely like. The Windows XP-era presentation is a great idea and immediately reminded me of using computers back then. Having a computer inside the game where you're browsing websites, receiving emails and using different applications is a really good foundation, and I think the developer is heading in the right direction with it. Unfortunately, the execution feels unfinished. Some of the websites and interfaces look less like deliberately awful early-2000s web design and more like placeholders or work-in-progress UI. Overall, the game felt more like something I'd expect to find in Early Access or beta than a finished release. I also really disliked the Wageslave Inc. side of the game. I have dyscalculia, and the amount of number-heavy gameplay involved there sucked what little enjoyment I was still getting out of it. That's obviously going to be very subjective, but for me it made that part of the game feel like brutal …
