You play as a failed author looking after a troop of cute monkey writers, each with a unique name, stats, and traits. Get to know them, level them up, and watch them get into publishing shenanigans.

Explore a tech tree with 100+ unlocks. Each one changes the game in big and small ways. No boring “+20% money” upgrades here.

Spin the publishing slot machine, play lawsuit whack-a-mole, race around plot holes, and ski the slopes of ever-changing trends. There’s more to books than just putting the words together.

Expand the house with floors and basements, and construct specialized rooms. No building permit needed, probably.

Argue with your business sidekick monkey, Charles, roll your eyes at ridiculous reviews, and watch your home grow into a serious publishing powerhouse.

Two game modes await you: a chill story mode you can play at your own pace, and a challenging roguelike mode with a grumpy landlord who won’t let you relax.
