Business as Usual
This is a multiplayer roleplaying/Life Sim game about starting small and working your way up. Take on jobs, earn experience, build your career, and and eventually get to a management position as you oversee staff, stock, rental space, handle the business economics and the wider business.
Work along side other players, take on more responsibility and shape how your career develops as the world and businesses expand around you.
Whether you're stocking shelves, helping customers, managing employees, or expanding the business, there's always another step up the ladder
