LOCAL IDIOT BUILDS MEDIA EMPIRE ONE CLICK AT A TIME
THE SCENE OF THE CRIME: witnesses report “just one more upgrade” heard repeatedly.
Clickbait Tycoon is a pixel-art idle game set in synthwave-soaked 1980s New York. Publish outrageous stories, hire an army of interns and outrage algorithms, send your writer on quests to fight editors-turned-monsters, build an office tower, hatch Pocket Pals, and sell out - again and again - until you own the news. And the weather.
Sources close to the situation confirm the empire runs itself while you sleep, the writer holds a grudge, and the Pocket Pals survive every single reset. Authorities have declined to intervene, citing “honestly, it’s only $4.99.”
A writer with a pen and a grudge
Forty quests across the city. Editors-turned-monsters. Loot, levels, and The Unnamed Author, who should never be trusted.
Build the tower
A Manhattan office tower, room by room - legal departments, a company gym, and a playroom full of Pocket Pals.
Sell out. Forever.
Bank websites, take the buyout, start again stronger. Your archive, your empire, and your pals carry on.
SPORTS: local writer batters The Blank Page in overtime thriller.
LIFESTYLE: playroom residents demand second leash, better snacks.
