ARCADE is a browser-based platform of career simulators designed to let you experience a whole life in ten minutes. Currently featuring VIRAL (creator) and PRESIDENTE (political), each session is unique, randomly rolling your era, origin, and rival. Across 15 key decisions, you must navigate "delayed echoes"—consequences that land turns after your choices. Progress through levels to unlock starting funds and save your greatest runs to the Hall of Fame.

I was inspired to build ARCADE because I wanted to create something simple, fun, and easy for anyone to enjoy. I’ve always liked gaming, but I also wanted to challenge myself to turn an idea into a real product that people could actually use.

Building ARCADE has been a learning experience for me — from designing the website to getting feedback from early users and constantly improving it. I’m excited to see what people think and where I can take it next.

Imagine you re 16. You have a borrowed camera, a dream to go viral, and an algorithm that hates you. Most games today demand 40GB of your storage and 100 hours of your life just to get started. We don't. ARCADE is a browser-based narrative engine designed for the "Bedtime Browser" the person who wants to live a full lifetime between setting their alarm and falling asleep.

Let s be honest: If you are looking for a dense, deterministic strategy simulator where you calculate every stat, this game is NOT for you. We are a "Ghost Product" for the purists because ARCADE is about the beautiful chaos of life. It s about the "AI Purge" and the "Delayed Echoes" where a decision you made as a teenager comes back to haunt your career 30 years later.

We use the "Doctor Frame" to diagnose your boredom from the infinite scroll and prescribe a 10-minute cure. Every run is a high-contrast experience: New Era, New Rival, New Origin. You have exactly 10 minutes to become a Legendary President or die as a forgotten statistic.

Don't let your potential legacy disappear into someone else's feed. Experience the "WTF Effect" of your own choices.
