Downer Management · build 24029457 · published
Monday through Friday, you run a department. What you do on the weekend is between you and the city.
☰ WEEKEND VIGILANTE — a free update, live now.
Every building you clear banks a weekend. Spend Saturday getting ready — train, gear up, work your informants, pick the fight — then watch Sunday play out as a broadcast: your boss, cornered somewhere in the city, versus whatever this weekend sent. Win, and the gains come back to the office with you Monday morning. It's the same boss, the same stats, a very different dress code. (Owners only — the demo keeps its tie on.)
☰ THE SUCCESSION CONTEST — the campaign has a spine now.
Gideon Dunne-Wright is giving away the company. You got the last official slot in the contest. Your rival didn't get one — they climbed in anyway, and the people upstairs called that "initiative." The buildings aren't errands anymore; they're the ladder, and everyone on it wants the chair you're climbing toward. New opening, new title screen, new stakes. The form was never the point.
☰ YOUR BOSS IS A REAL UNIT.
Call the boss into any fight and it's them — HP that grows as you build them, and moves you actually earned. Weekend Vigilante training now carries into Downer Management: new Management Playbook in the boss dossier lets you slot the moves you've trained into your top / middle / bottom combat slots. Grind the weekend, feel it Monday.
☰ A KINDER FIRST HOUR. Rebuilt onboarding so the tutorial stops talking once you've proven you get it, fixed guidance that pointed at the wrong buttons, and hardened the opening so nobody strands on step one.
Clock in. — Margaret, HR
