DRINK BEER TYCOON
DISCORD · legitwizard12 STATUS Q4 2026

What it is

You drink for money.
The money buys the room.

You take a job nobody should take. Twelve beers on the board, each one worth more and hitting harder than the last. The rent is real. So is the hangover.

Underneath the counter there are four numbers pulling against each other — money, energy, buzz and respect — and every choice you make feeds one at the cost of another. Drink faster, earn more, remember less. It's an idle game with a bad decision at the center of it.

Nothing is a number

Buy an upgrade and it appears. The rug, the lamp, the second fridge, the certificate on the wall. You can read your whole save by looking at the room.

The phone rings

Texts from people who are worried about you. Calls you shouldn't take. A landline that goes off at 2am. Your kids have their own numbers and they use them.

Time stops to listen

The clock doesn't move while you're reading a memory or a note. Nothing in this game punishes you for paying attention.

Every upgrade is a prop

Drag it. This is one save.

Left is day two: a folding table, a dead TV and forty-six dollars. Right is day fifty-eight. Nothing in that room is decoration you unlock — it is the shop list, standing up.

Day 58: the house, fully furnished. Day 2: the same save, an almost empty room.
↔
DAY 2 · $46DAY 58 · $1.3M

Same camera, same character. 41 props, three houses and a shop with 79 things in it.

Day 9: the same first room with a bed, curtains and a lamp.

Day nine, same room. A bed, curtains, a lamp. It starts small.

The second house.

House two. You moved once, and it shows.

The upgrade shop.

The shop on day one. What you haven't found yet stays ??? and stays that way.

The food delivery menu.

Brewber Eats. Food is a mechanic, and so is the guy who brings it.

New · the block

And then you can leave.

There's a door on the far right of every house. Through it is Mulberry Street, and the clock keeps running the whole time you're out there.

BrewCorp HQ has a marble lobby, a three-tier fountain nobody drinks from, and elevators marked STAFF ONLY. The receptionist gives you one complimentary six-pack a day — and about one time in five it's a case of something you haven't unlocked yet.

The gas station has the rack by the counter: eight permanent perks bought with chips, and chips only come out of rehab. One keeps a slice of your money through it. One keeps your entire job tree. They survive every reset, which is the whole point of them.

Your neighbour never answers the door. Six different ways of not answering, one a day.

Mulberry Street: the player's house on the left, BrewCorp HQ on the right.

Mulberry Street. Your house on the left, work on the right.

The BrewCorp lobby: fountain, reception desk, elevators.

The lobby. The fountain cost ninety thousand dollars.

Inside the gas station: coolers, snack aisle, the recovery rack.

Fuel-N-Go. The rack is the one by the counter.

The recovery rack: eight permanent perks bought with chips.

Chips are rare. There are eight things to spend them on.

Drop a can out here and it stays dropped

Every empty remembers which screen you left it on. Drink on the bench, chuck the cans, walk into a shop — and when you come back out it's one in four that somebody's standing next to them.

Pick up that can.The officer · costs you 8% of your wallet

He only turns up leaving a building that isn't your house. Your own floor is your own business.

A police officer standing next to cans the player left on the pavement.

He waits until you do it, and you get nothing for that can.

The street at night in the rain.

Rain, snow, wind and fog, rolled fresh each morning. Purely for looks.

Weather that does nothing

It changes every morning and it has no mechanical effect whatsoever. It's there because a street that's the same every day isn't a street, it's a menu.

Hollis Ferry, population whatever

There is a television.
It has channels.

Turn it on and leave it on. Three networks, 35 episodes and 14 commercials, all written out, all playing on their own timeline whether or not you're looking at the screen.

You never have to watch it. Nothing you need is in there. It is the thing on in the background of a life, and it runs about twenty-five minutes deep so far.

A television channel playing.

HOLD MY BEER

CH 9 · WILD SUBURBS · 10 EPISODES

The television playing across the room.

From across the room, where you'll usually hear it.

The main menu.

The menu room is your save, furnished. Three slots, and none of them get deleted by me.

The part that isn't funny

It's about a guy whose family left.

The job is the joke. The rest of it isn't. Between shifts there are memories you can sit down and read, texts you can answer badly, and a slow accounting of what the money actually cost. You can play this as a pure numbers-go-up game and never open any of it. Most people won't.

A memory being read.

A memory. The clock is stopped while you read it.

A text message from a child.

Your daughter texts. You can leave her on read.

The phone inbox.

The phone keeps everything anyone said to you.

A blackout.

And some nights just end.

How it stops

Five endings. Four of them mean it.

Four endings genuinely finish your save — credits, a card, a slot marked FINISHED. The fifth changes everything after it instead. And after any of them the game offers to put you back at the moment before you decided, so you can go and see the other one.

No, they're not listed here. You get to find them.

An ending cutscene playing in the player's own house, with the kids in it.

Endings play out in your house, with whoever you managed to keep in it.

After an ending: keep playing, or go back to the moment before.

And then this. Take it, or go back to the moment before and take the other one.

Honest status

What's built, and what isn't.

This is a solo project and it's not finished. Here it is as the game's own upgrade screen — bought, buying, and the ones I'm not telling you about yet.

Last updated September 2026. Planned launch is Q4 2026 — that's the target I'm building to, not a promise, and I'll move it here before I move it quietly. Not on Steam yet: there is no store page to link and I'd rather say so than fake one.
