Big Ambitions

An entrepreneurship simulation from Hovgaard Games, released in version 1.0 on August 28, 2026 after three years of early access. You arrive in New York with a few thousand dollars and a tiny apartment, and build your empire business by business: choosing a location, negotiating the lease, fitting out the store, hiring staff, managing deliveries, watching your cash flow.

The difference from a life-sim game is that everything runs through management: nothing runs on its own, a poorly calibrated supply chain sinks a shop within a few in-game days. The title is aimed at those who love spreadsheets as much as management games, and it fully embraces a steep learning curve.

The interface and text are translated into French; there is no voice acting. The game runs on Windows and macOS.
