Good Company puts you in the seat of a brilliant innovator and tests your skill at marketing your product, starting from a tiny space and growing into a massive business.
You will start out from modest beginnings and little to your names, creating a business out of your garage. The perfect place to make your debut in the tech industry, right? Once you create your product, it’s time to get it to the market and see if you have the next must-have item.
If your invention yields good results, you will be able to think about adding a few underlings in your staff. You need help managing your success, after all. These employees require a lot of delegation, though, but if you’re a control freak (as most of us in tycoon-sims are), you’ll love the obedience of your employees. You can ask employees to assemble products, move them to appropriate areas to ship, and even research new technologies. When you design new products, you’ll want to think about adding these new techs to give it a stronger appeal to the market and a more reliable product.
Don’t be intimidated if you’re a little scared on where to start. You will be offered a career mode that will map out the road from garage-beginnings to a fully-functioning factory. Using these checkpoints will help you nail those hard goals, while teaching you about what makes a good company and CEO. If you want a little more free reign, sandbox mode will give you an open playing field to test your products without much risk.
Good Company is currently in Early Access, but promises many more features to come for those who want to unleash their inner entrepreneur.
Good Company is available now (in an Early Access state) on Steam and GoG.

While this seems to be a Sims clone, it does have an interesting take on business modeling; perhaps it could be a means of understanding real-world business practices?
