A smaller cleanup update following yesterday’s big Succession release: Added a shared Expense Account for Dream Office decor and Weekend Vigilante purchases, so fun customization no longer competes with payroll. Loosened the early-game Budget economy to leave more room for hiring, training, and upgrades. Reworked department-clear rewards into meaningful, tiered permanent rewards instead of poin…

Gideon Dunne-Wright is stepping down. Everyone else is stepping over someone. Eleven contenders have entered the succession contest: nine approved claimants, you as the final official entrant, and one rival who broke in and was allowed to stay because the company admired the initiative. The Succession Update tightens Downer Management around its strongest idea: build a department, script your f…
Sunday nights have a real difficulty curve now. No more coasting to an easy win one week and slamming into a brick wall the next. The fight now scales with how strong your vigilante actually is — eases off if you're behind, ramps up if you're ahead — and there's a new safety net that keeps pushing back if you're steamrolling everything, so even a fully-trained vigilante still gets a real fight,…

Fixed: Overkill and Clutch Heal achievements could unlock when triggered by enemy units Fixed: skill evolution paths introduced in a previous content pass were silently inactive — 15 evolution chains now work correctly (e.g. Viral Campaign now evolves to Motivational Campaign as intended) Fixed: skills could revert to pre-evolution behavior in combat after evolving (ghost skill reference in com…
MEMORANDUM — RE: Form 3NQ, Confirmation of Appointment Effective immediately, Downer Management is open for business. You've been named Director of a department that does not, strictly speaking, do anything yet. Fix that. Hire employees, file them into a formation, and send them up through a building full of middle managers who would very much like your chair. There is one other candidate up fo…
