You've just inherited a fledgling adventurer's guild. Your job? Turn it into the most renowned operation in the land. Guild Manager isn't about flashy combat or hand-holding tutorials. It's about the hard decisions that separate legendary guild masters from failures: Who gets sent on the suicide mission? Do you spend gold on facility upgrades or hire that promising mage? Can you afford to let your star warrior retire, or do you convince them to stay for one more year? Stories Emerge From Your Decisions Dominic survived 47 missions without injury—until the day he didn't come back from an Epic Boss contract. Sarah's tactical brilliance saved the party three times in one week. Jonathan started as a nervous recruit and retired as a decorated veteran with two awards to his name. These aren't scripted events. They're the natural result of your choices, RNG, and the personalities of the adventurers you've assembled. The Core Loop Each week, you'll: Scout and Recruit new adventurers from a pool of 30 candidates Assign Missions by forming balanced parties and choosing strategies Manage Resources by upgrading facilities and training your best members React to Outcomes as missions succeed, fail, or go catastrophically wrong Every mission generates a detailed report. Sometimes your tactician devises brilliant strategies. Sometimes your healer pulls someone back from the brink of death. Sometimes someone doesn't make it home. Build for the Long Game 52-Week Campaign per year with end-of-year awards ceremony Facility Upgrades provide permanent bonuses to all adventurers Epic Loot found on missions boosts your entire guild Retirement System forces you to groom the next generation Multiple Strategies per mission: Aggressive? Safety First? Treasure Hunters? Morale Management affects success rates and party performance Depth Without Bloat This isn't a game where you micromanage inventory or watch combat animations. It's pure strategic decision-making. Stats matter. Composition matters. Luck matters. But most of all, your choices matter . You'll lose adventurers you've invested in. You'll celebrate milestones. You'll remember specific missions for years. That's the point.

Every mechanic exists to generate 'Remember when...' moments. You won't find loot boxes, microtransactions, or artificial grind here. Just pure strategic gameplay where your decisions—and a little bit of luck—determine whether your guild becomes legendary or collapses under the weight of your mistakes. Your adventurers are counting on you. Don't let them down.
