Startup Panic Now Available on Steam

Developer Algo Rocks and publisher tinyBuild have announced their title, Startup Panic, is now available on Steam. Previously an Epic Games Store exclusive, Startup Panic is a fast-moving Business Sim featuring classic management with some pointed and absurd humor. Here’s what the press release has to say.

Startup Panic is a highly customizable tech-business management sim ideal for players new to the genre – or veterans looking for a bit of personality as their small company conquers the corporate world. Starting from a bedroom office, the game builds quickly, meaning wannabe CEOs must move fast to navigate hackers, underhanded competitors and even real sea-sailing pirates to become the best.

With an expansive business customization tree, a huge world map to branch out to, and full office design control, players can create their perfect start-up from scratch – and defend it against the ever-changing market how they see fit.

Send your staff on a well-earned break to a dinosaur theme park, make some shady dealing with elite hackers, and work your way to over seven unique victories – including becoming President, or even setting up a colony on Mars!

Algo Rocks CEO Adib Toriq had this to say about Startup Panic: “Initially, Startup Panic was meant to be finished in eight to ten hours. It’s humbling to see some players play it for 20 hours without new content in the game. Seeing that, we decided to add some more content.

“We’ve added ghost events, competitor come-backs, new traits, difficulty options, and several other new mechanics. Hopefully, this will double the fun of playing Startup Panic.”

The Steam version of Startup Panic brings new features such as defeated CEOs launching comebacks against you, long-term loyal employees gaining new traits with experience, and some in-office ghostbusting after the discovery of a workplace haunting.

Startup Panic is available now via Steam, priced at $14.99 USD / £11.39 GBP / €12.49 EUR.
