How does the game fit the theme?
In this game, the one you can't trust is yourself!

It's very easy to start playing: just click on actions whose consequences you don't understand. Just like real CEOs do.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

This is insanely polished for one person, let alone in 7 days! Visuals and sound design are incredible, everything feels so responsive, and to be frank I don't understand half of what is going on XD
Game fits the theme well, and it's a very creative concept! Writing is hilarious, and at the same time quite realistic.

Very much enjoyed playing this one, immaculate job, keep it up :D

What an amazing submission!

Especially in just 7 days. The game is amazing!

I really tried to get to 4T but I couldn't haha. The gameplay is nice and the game feels soooo polished.

Great job!! If you have some time, I would love it if you'd check out my game :))

The satire of running a questionable AI startup in a stock market simulator fits the "Don't Trust" theme brilliantly! The sharp corporate humor, clever mechanics, and joke-packed events ("just click actions whose consequences you don't understand, like real CEOs") make managing tech hype and market manipulation genuinely hilarious.

A few UI, readability, and localization polish ideas for post-jam updates:

- Text Contrast & Layout: Increase text background contrast and use drop shadows on dark UI cards so body text doesn't blend into dark or noisy backgrounds.

- English Localization Polish: Run a quick grammar pass on event cards and financial tooltips to fix minor phrasing awkwardness for native English players.

- Market Feedback & Graphs: Add color-coded indicators (green/red trend arrows) or quick tooltips showing how CEO choices directly swing share prices and public hype.

Hilarious corporate satire, awesome theme execution, and super fun management loop! If you get a free minute, I'd really appreciate your feedback and rating on my solo jam entry as well: /jam/brackeys-16/rate/4953523

This game is amazing. I love the idea so much. Thought about a stock market game also, when the theme was revealed, but this AI company idea is such a good pick for this topic. I really enjoyed it.

Some of the text is hard to read

Developer

Sorry, I'm not a English native =( Or is it a layouts problem?

Submitted

Because some of the text blends in with the background
