Your company’s success depends on your ability to run and manage a website. You must develop and improve features while increasing hosting capacity and run marketing campaigns.

The city offers you offices in all sizes and shapes. It’s up to you to select the most suitable. It’s your job to organize and decorate the office while keeping your employees happy.

Your employees are a vital part of your success. As you grow, you must continue recruiting more people. Over time, your employees will start demanding more of you and the company. It’s your job to keep them happy, before your competitors send them a job offer they can’t reject!

There’s no website without stable and reliable servers. As your website attracts more traffic, you’ll have to move from virtual servers to your own fully featured hosting center.

The goal is obvious: become the biggest website in the industry. It’s up to you if you want to buy and merge your competitors or outrun them until they go out of business!

Key Features

– Running a website
– Setting up offices
– Managing employees
– Configuring servers

Play-Asia will be taking pre-orders for the physical versions of Startup Company Console Edition for Switch tomorrow, on August 3 at 8 AM PT / 11 AM ET / 4 PM in the UK / 5 PM in Europe here. The physical version itself will release on August 31, 2023.
