Oh, the autoplay process. Appreciate the more "official documentation" approach to this one. All the small details (like the EULA sections to reference) were a good touch!

A lot of funny details here but my favorite was "No Sound FX level adustment is supported at this time or ever will be." Nice work!

Writing only a "getting started" guide that alludes to a bigger game is a great way to approach this prompt (same reason that I stuck to writing an appendix). The way this hints at absurd things without going into detail about them makes for excellent comedy. My favorite part is the idea of a game called "Rail Shipping and Logistics Tycoon" being a cereal box giveaway, but I also appreciate imagining what the "bribing federal investigators" and "tax fraud" interfaces look like.

Writing from the standpoint of an official readme-type walkthrough was a creative approach and I think worked really well. The excessive caps and hyperbole made it funny and quite entertaining. The idea of a Beg/Fool Investors mechanic for obtaining loans is hilarious and some of the more random keyboard controls are good too (Caps Lock: Fires 4th worst performing employee)

Mandatory splash screens for the win

Thanks man. As a kid I was bewildered by the insane profusion of ultra-improbable tycoon games, most of which were obviously horrible. So I started trying to imagine the kind of grifty, cashgrabby company that it would take to make all that crap. As a side note, it's crazy at this point to remember that sim games were so hyped. I've met very few other people who can enjoy playing them without burning everything to the ground
