Business / Management
Games in the "business" or "management" genre present the player with a simple task: to achieve financial success for a character or a fictional company. This could be a game development studio, a football club, an amusement park, or even a city. The player needs to wisely allocate earned and starting finances to develop their project. Unlike arcade games, here you can go bankrupt, thus failing the mission.
