About this game
Kayfabe Empire is a management sim about running a professional wrestling promotion rather than wrestling matches. You take over one of nine fictional promotions or start your own indie and try to grow from local shows to a national powerhouse. Each show is booked match by match, or drafted with Auto-Book and then adjusted, and run as weekly TV, house shows and PPVs with commentary. The game covers roster management, heel/face turns, momentum, staff, story arcs such as Betrayal, Underdog and Masked Attacker, title belts, ticket income and payroll, plus a calendar time system with a full in-game year, on-screen authority figures, referees with their own traits and touring cities that favour different styles. Wrestlers, promotions, shows, logos and rival federations are editable. A free browser demo covers the first six in-game months; the full game is a $5 single HTML file. The author says it was built with AI coding tools, with design, balancing and playtesting done by hand.
