MANIFESTO Announced – A Satirical Simulator of an Unprincipled Manager

Publisher No More Robots and studio Breakpoint Games have announced MANIFESTO, a simulator of an effective manager. The game is set to release in 2026.

MANIFESTO offers a look at the world of big business without sentimentality. The player takes on the role of a manager who has climbed to the top, outmaneuvered competitors, and now must think only about profit growth. The main goal is to please the shareholders, whose appetites are insatiable, even if it means completely forgetting about human feelings.

In the process, the player makes "highly ethical" decisions, hires employees, and squeezes the maximum out of them for profit. The project forces you to chase after deliberately unrealistic sales plans, boost metrics with upgrades and bonuses, and expand the company, trying not to break under constant pressure.

INTRODUCING

💼 MANIFESTO 💼

Welcome, CEO. Our company exists for one reason: To make money. Lots of it. Employees are resources. Stress is productivity. Burnout is growth. Money is happiness. Don't you want to be happy?

Is this a commentary on the current state of the games industry?

Oh god no, we would never dream of such a thing. There is zero chance we would ever use a video game to comment on how over the last two years companies have laid off a third of their developers. Or how CEOs and top executives receive huge bonuses while regular employees pay the price for their shitty decisions.

MANIFESTO is just a video game, so don't go looking for hidden meaning where there isn't any, okay?

Gamers on PC will be able to step into the role of an unprincipled manager in MANIFESTO on Steam without Russian language support. A demo version is available on the Valve platform.
