A browser startup survival game. Pitch an idea, AI sets your difficulty, then hire devs, ship features, and run campaigns to hit $10K MRR, before your cash hits zero. Every hire burns runway. A crisis hits every 5 days. Most players don't make it. No download. No signup. Just you, a burn rate, and a ticking clock. What killed your run?
