Executive Pressure

Decisions don't wait.

You are a newly appointed CEO. Your inbox is full. The board is watching. Every choice shapes stock price, morale, trust, and your legacy. This is not a casual game. This is the weight of leadership.

How it works

Three screens. Every decision matters.

Navigate your tenure through an inbox of high-stakes scenarios, a dashboard of competing metrics, and a trail of consequences that never forgets.

01

The Inbox

Urgent decisions arrive every day. Financial crises, employee disputes, regulatory investigations, and strategic bets compete for your attention. Every item has a deadline. Ignoring them is a decision too.

3-4 scenarios per day, each with branching consequences

02

Six Metrics

Stock Price. Cash. Trust. Morale. Regulatory Risk. Product Health. Every choice moves multiple needles simultaneously. Optimizing one metric often means sacrificing another. The board is watching all of them.

Real-time metric bars with trend indicators and near-miss warnings

03

Consequences

Nothing is forgotten. A cost-cutting decision on Day 3 triggers an employee exodus on Day 7. A regulatory shortcut surfaces as a congressional inquiry weeks later. Your decisions create storylines that follow you.

Multi-turn narrative arcs with cause-and-effect chains

Leadership simulation

Not a puzzle. A position.

Executive Pressure is not about finding the right answer. There often is not one. It is about making the least bad choice under time pressure, with incomplete information, while five different stakeholders want five different things.

  • -Board interviews assess your leadership style before Day 1
  • -Five leadership personas emerge from your decision patterns
  • -Named board members with distinct priorities and relationships
  • -Daily challenges with seeded scenarios and leaderboards

From the early run

Notes from the boardroom.

Anonymous notes from players in the closed early access. We will replace these with named press quotes after launch — for now this is the truth.

Twenty days in, the consequences from Day 3 are starting to land. This is what makes it different.

Early Access Player

Reigns meets Succession meets a real CFO meeting. I have not put it down all weekend.

Early Access Player

I made the cost-cut on Day 5. Day 12 the engineering org walked. I think about it more than I should.
