About The Capitalist

Welcome to the world of high finance. The Capitalist is a deep economic strategy game where you build and manage your own Private Equity firm. You aren't just clicking to make numbers go up; you are raising funds, negotiating deals, and turning around struggling companies. Take control of a professional financial terminal, use real-world investment strategies, and turn millions of investor capital into billions. Red means default. Green means a massive payout.Core Features:
  • Manage Investor Funds: You don’t start with infinite money. Raise capital from institutional investors to launch your funds. Your goal is to buy companies, grow them, and sell them to return real cash to your investors. Earn your management fees to keep the lights on, but the real wealth comes from your performance bonus (Carried Interest) on successful exits.
  • Scout for the Perfect Deal: Set up specific parameters for your analysts to find undervalued businesses. Review anonymous "blind teasers" and sign NDAs to reveal their true financial metrics. Conduct deep due diligence to uncover hidden debts and operational flaws before you write the check.
  • Master Leveraged Buyouts: Use a mix of your fund's cash and bank loans (leverage) to acquire targets. Debt boosts your potential returns, but it increases your risk. If the company fails to generate enough cash to pay the interest, the bank will step in, and a debt spiral is imminent.
  • Tense Negotiations: Buying a company is a strategic tug-of-war. Make your bids and counteroffers carefully. Push the seller too hard with lowball offers or stall the audit process, and their patience will run out, killing the deal forever.
  • Fix and Flip Companies: Once you own a business, it’s time to fix it. Fire underperforming management, hire top-tier CEOs, and cut unnecessary costs. Transform a struggling asset into a highly profitable market leader, then sell it to the highest bidder for a massive premium.
Buy. Fix. Sell. Profit.

Enjoyed the game, though it is quite easy to cheese. For example, you can keep doing an IPO after you merge with another company and make billions. Or buy a company, stick loads of money into improving margin and boom you make money. Look forward to future updates.

I made a few Unicorn, living the Capitalist dream. It would be nice if the spending in companies could be lock to a percentage instead of micromanaging it

Fun little game that would need more polishing, has potential but requires thought into having greater replayability once you have figured out the basics. Doing the same loop of; deals, negotiation and due diligence without having your employees helping you with this or management makes it quite click-intensive if you try to have many companies at same time. I hence tend to focus mostly on a handful at the same time. For the current price (less than half a cinema ticket) it was worth it to me and I enjoyed trying to save failing companies and turning small Saas businesses into hyper-scalers :) Taking out dividends and then helping other failing companies. There is enough content for playing a weekend, but not more than that currently in my opinion. Needs balance changes and some bug fixing. Now I'm trying to figure out how I can accomplish certain goals I set for my self in the least amount of in-game years as a challenge. What I really would like to see is a few months of more development of the game and then come back to a more fleshed out experience.

The game is very nice! I enjoyed it pretty hard! I only wish there would be more challenge and more updates. Hard difficulty actually feels like easy. Big thanks to developer for this amazing game

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
