Construct and design buildings for optimal working conditions. Hire people to design and release software and hardware, so you can defeat the simulated competition and take over their businesses. Manage and educate your employees to make sure they are skilled and satisfied with their job.


Buy plots in a huge map to create and customize your own building. No grid necessary, just make sure there's coffee.


Craft and manufacture software and hardware products, corner your market, defeat the competition, and make them work for you.


Create and optimize teams of employees with different skills and demands to release products in a timely fashion. Why not poach a big shot lead designer from a competitor to give you the edge?


Every playthrough of Software Inc. is different, as the market is simulated and randomized. Each action you take affects how history plays out.

  • Customize your own founder or split the company between a team of founders
  • Design and manufacture your own software and hardware products and franchises
  • Compete in a simulated and randomly populated market by selling your products, taking on contract work, creating patents, making deals and trading stocks
  • Set up your own servers for products, source control and running your own online store
  • Hire staff to repair your furniture and computers, clean your office, make food for your employees, transport goods, secure your offices or greet visitors
  • Mod what kind of software you can develop, add your own furniture, upload your building blueprints, add support for your language or write your own code to modify the game
  • Delegate important tasks to your team leaders, such as managing development cycles and human resources
  • Play against up to 3 other players in the same map or cooperate with your friends by delegating work tasks, manufacturing jobs and server hosting

The level of detail on display here is stunning. There are so many things you can do and manage that its an overwhelming experience to say the least. Perhaps so much so that it stops being a fun business tycoon simulator and becomes a ruthless true to life depiction of capitalism in the tech sector. That experience isn't for me, but the game's quality is unmistakable.

I don't normally review games, but if you like in-depth business tycoon/simulation games, you will not be disappointed! The game goes deeper than I imagined. It has a bit of a learning curve, but the in-game help is decent, and the game is definitely fun enough to reward your efforts.

The gameplay for this game is honestly great and very in-depth for all of its primary content such as developing software, managing a business and employees, handling the stock market and investments etc.

I may be in the minority for this, but I don't particularly enjoy the forced "sims" like building that comes as a prerequisite with having to do pretty much anything in the game. If you aren't feeling particularly creative or inspired to build and just want to play the game for the actual business content it can feel extremely tedious to do. The game provides you with a small amount of prebuilt maps to choose from but they are not super well designed to use, the layout is either terrible or the space is way too big for how small you are starting out. I know the obvious answer people will say is to use the workshop, but that should not be the solution if you just want to play with the software/business content in the game and not the sims aspect of it.

Absolute recommendation. if you are playing this for graphics... what are you doing?

Gameplay is solid and lets you feel like you are controlling the fate of technological growth over the past 50 years.

The only thing I wish they gave attention to is the project management system. everything else is relatively simple to understand, but the PM system looks like a disaster (and im a PM irl). The interface needs love. and unfortunately because of this, the late game is hard to suffer through. you almost dont want to expand because it means another thing on your plate, because you dont want to use the PM system.

Also can we pleeeaaase understand that contracts are not the only way a company gets reputation? i stopped doing contracts in favor of making my own software. I have literal billions in the bank, but my reputation is unaffected. makes no sense.And doing contracts at this point is like having bill gates take acontract by some guy making a game in his garage to prove microsoft has a good reputation... makes no sense. the reason why this even matters is because the game blocks you from hiring better lead designers unless you have amazing rep. Can we fix this already?

Those issues aside, the game is awesome and i recommend it to anyone who wants to feel like a tech giant.

Don't be put off by the Early Access - the state of the game currently is something I would consider a full game.

The dev is constantly updating the game, but at this stage, it feels more like they're refining it than adding much. I have been playing this game off and on for the past three years, and there's been slow and steady improvements to quality of life, and a few new features here and there, but ultimately the game is already an exceptionally polished gem.

It may take you a while to fully understand the mechanics, but once you do, the game really opens up into something very fun c:

Game could use a UI cleanup in some places. Tutorial should to be a separate menu option, walk you through every step rather than it be you opening a random window to get a tutorial popup, also needs to tell you the why's along with the how's, I know how to do things, but don't know why I would. Otherwise love how complex and deep it is, keep it going

I consider this game as a 4X game. Start as a single developer, grow to a corporation of over 400 employees. Crush the competition... go big on the stock market... invest in illegal gold... get caught cause you did not have a big enough accounting division... lose all your best employees... go bankrupt... start again. I love this game.

I got this game a long while ago when it was very very early access, I saw the potential in it and let it sit in my library for a long while...... I am soooo happy I came back to it! it is amazing! there is sooooo much depth to this game.

The loop is sooooo fun and it doesn't drown you right away, it almost lets you slowly dip your toes in and you realize how deep the depth of the mechanics are the further you go! Buuutttt like I said it doesn't drown you! At the 31 hours I would say I still havent completed all the tutorials, which is awesome because theyre little windows for the different mechanics as you encounter them instead of throwing you all in at once.

The graphics are not some crazy amazing high realistic quality, but they are crisp and homey if that makes any sense at all? The music is relaxing and lovely and even the placement of items sound that I almost always turn off is even nice for some reason.

This is exactly what I was looking for recently a game that I can casually come and go from that still feels like i am making lots of progress that offers this really deep game play that doesnt dry out easily.

So worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And the cherry on top, regualr updates!

I've been playing this game since early early alpha, and It's one of my favorites. However recently there has been a ton of features added, some that I have never touched and the game is a little too easy to cheese imo. I wish it had a more in depth economy and focus on actually making software.

Why Software Inc. is a Great Game: Insights from 69 Hours of Gameplay



After spending 69 hours playing Software Inc., I can confidently say that it is one of the best business simulation games available. Developed by Coredumping, this indie title offers an incredibly detailed and immersive experience in managing a software company. It combines deep economic mechanics, extensive customization, and engaging gameplay loops that keep players coming back. My time in the game has shown me just how much strategy and creativity go into running a successful software empire.

Realistic Business Simulation
One of the biggest strengths of Software Inc. is its realistic approach to business management. Players start with a small office, a handful of employees, and a dream of building the next big tech company. The game challenges players to make strategic decisions about hiring, project management, and product development.

The financial system in Software Inc. is particularly impressive. Income fluctuates based on product sales, deals, and marketing effectiveness. Managing expenses—such as employee salaries, office maintenance, and software licenses—is crucial to long-term success. Unlike many other simulation games, this one does not handhold players; poor financial management can easily lead to bankruptcy, forcing players to think critically about their business decisions.

Deep Customization and Creativity
Customization is another area where Software Inc. excels. From the very beginning, players can design their own company logo, choose a company name, and even define the company's specialization. The ability to create and manage custom teams allows for a personal touch in how the company operates.

The office design feature is one of the most satisfying aspects of the game. Players can construct their own buildings, design office layouts, and optimize workspaces for efficiency and employee satisfaction. The ability to place furniture, create open-concept workspaces, or even build multi-story office towers adds a layer of creativity that is rare in business simulators.

Engaging Gameplay Loop
At its core, Software Inc. is a game about balancing multiple complex systems, and it does so in a way that keeps players engaged for hours. The loop of researching new technologies, hiring the right employees, and competing with rival companies creates a rewarding cycle.

Developing software products—whether it's operating systems, games, or office applications—is both challenging and rewarding. Players must decide whether to innovate with new features or focus on refining existing ones. Marketing campaigns, customer support, and handling software bugs all add to the realism and depth of the gameplay.

As the company grows, new challenges emerge. Managing large teams becomes a test of leadership, as assigning the right employees to the right tasks significantly affects efficiency. The introduction of AI competitors and shifting market trends forces players to adapt their strategies over time.

Satisfying Progression and Long-Term Goals
One of the most enjoyable aspects of Software Inc. is its sense of progression. Starting from a small startup in a garage and eventually growing into a multi-billion-dollar corporation is incredibly rewarding. Seeing employees grow in skill, products gain recognition, and profits soar makes every decision feel meaningful.

Additionally, the game allows players to take different paths to success. Some might focus on becoming a software giant, while others may build a company that primarily supports other businesses through contract work. The variety of strategies and possible outcomes ensures that no two playthroughs feel exactly the same.

Conclusion
After 69 hours in Software Inc., I can confidently say that it is one of the most immersive and rewarding simulation games available. Its realistic business mechanics, deep customization, engaging gameplay loop, and satisfying progression make it a must-play for fans of management sims. Whether you're a casual player or someone who enjoys optimizing every detail, Software Inc. offers a unique and endlessly enjoyable experience.

This game is absolutely incredible, you can do almost anything you can imagine! I especially love the multiplayer aspect, as it allows you and your friends to collaborate seamlessly. The ability to contract each other for different company roles adds a whole new level of strategy and immersion, making the experience even more engaging.

I do hope the developer improves the tutorials, as the game can be quite confusing at first. However, it's absolutely worth taking the time to watch YouTube guides to learn the mechanics—once you get the hang of it, the experience is incredibly rewarding!

One of the most complex and feature rich management sims based around software/games/IT you could ask for

If you've wanted a sim/business game based on anything vaguely IT related, this game has nearly complete freedom for you to do anything you want to whether its programs, servers, distribution, publishing, game development, software development, operating systems, consoles, hardware, stocks, and so forth

Its quite complex and overwhelming to get into, but its an amazing game, with the ability to play online with friends or solo as is
