A CEO simulator where you build and run your own company — a faithful rebuild of Dogbert’s CEO Simulator (1997) with an original cast and theme.

Exploring Started: July 2026 Updated: Aug 2026

Overview

Try your hand at building and running your own company. It’s a faithful rebuild of Dogbert’s CEO Simulator (from Dilbert’s Desktop Games, 1997) — mechanics only, with an all-new cast, theme, and presentation; no original art, sound, or characters reused. Built first as a desktop app, and now available as a web app too.

How It Works

The whole game is a small TV-shaped widget. The main screen shows either your company’s building from outside or one department’s office with its single employee inside; a side monitor shows the charts and stats. Four buttons along the bottom deck do everything — Hire, Consultant, Discipline, Motivate — and the simulation runs from a tunable set of constants, so the whole economy can be re-balanced from one config file.

Current Status

v1 implemented: the M1 engine plus an M2 playable build, shipped as both an Electron desktop app and a web version.
