# Kayfabe Empire

A wrestling promoter simulation where you run a fictional wrestling company instead of wrestling matches: book cards, manage rosters, heel/face turns, story arcs, belts and finances across an in-game year. A free browser demo covers the first six in-game months.

## Description

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.

## Original post

Kayfabe Empire — I made a wrestling promoter sim (Football Managermeets pro wrestling)

Solo dev here — after Links Manager (my golf management game), I've built a second one: **Kayfabe Empire**, a wrestling promoter simulation. You don't wrestle the matches — you run the company. - Take over one of nine fictional promotions (or start your own indie) and climb from local indie to national powerhouse - Book every show match by match — or let Auto-Book draft the card and tweak it — then run weekly TV, house shows and PPVs live with commentary - Roster management, heel/face turns, momentum, staff, story arcs (Betrayal, Underdog, Masked Attacker), title belts, ticket income and payroll that does not care about your feelings - A calendar time system with a full in-game year, on-screen authority figures, referees with their own traits, touring cities that favour different styles - Everything is editable: wrestlers, promotions, shows, logos, even the rival federations' names and popularity — make it your own wrestling world (inspired by the old EWR freeware days) Free browser demo covering the first six in-game months: https://tomhs183.itch.io/kayfabe-empire-demo Full game ($5, single HTML file, no install): https://tomhs183.itch.io/kayfabe-empire Trailer: https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZxKoLBMmvgM For the record: built with AI coding tools — the design, balancing and playtesting are mine. Genuinely after feedback from management-sim people: the finance office is my blind spot — tell me if the money feels too easy, too brutal, or about right.   submitted by   /u/Manager-Games145   to   r/gmgames [link]   [comments]
