The concept of this title is to become the president of a game maker and grow the company! The new management part will test your management skills.

In the management part, you can develop “discs” that enhance your character’s actions and skills. As your company grows, you will be able to develop better “discs,” so keep expanding your company and aim for a large corporation!
