Our take on The Con Simulator
The focus on comic-con organization gives the game a specific theme, but narrows its management scope to booths, NPCs, customers, competitors, and event disruptions rather than a wider business or city simulation.
What is The Con Simulator?
Organize a comic convention in Metropolitan during a national economic crisis.
The game lets players choose different characters, design booths and NPCs, and arrange an event intended to satisfy customers. In SLG mode, skill cards are used against competing organizers. Random events can include fires, zombies, and aliens, while hidden Easter eggs provide additional discoveries. Custom booths, characters, and NPCs can be created and imported, with Steam Workshop support for sharing creations with other players. The stated objective is to defeat competitors, become the leading comic-con organizer, and save Metropolitan.
