Blooming Business: Casino launches today from Curve Games
Curve Games and developer Homo Ludens has announced that it’s unique sim-management game Blooming Business: Casino is out today. The developer say it’s “inspired by the rise of Las Vegas in the 1950s” and will see “retro Las Vegas-inspired aesthetics and animal inhabitants combine for a satirical take on the tycoon formula”.
The idea is you have to grow a big casino from humble “gambling den” beginnings, and become the biggest name in the city. You’ll design and build a retro casino, and it apparently allows you to make your own choices, which make different things happen narratively. If you buy the game during its launch week, you’ll also get a free soundtrack.
David Rabineau, CEO at Homo Ludens, said “After years of putting love and work into Blooming Business: Casino, the whole team is so excited to see the game in the hands of the public! We can’t wait to see how people create their stories with our first game and look forward to supporting it and its community”.
