Pawhaven Corporate Simulator

1. SETTING: The player is a rising professional in Pawhaven. The world is defined by three species who act like humans but carry distinct biological imperatives. Wolves (strong, short-lived, aging involves graying/stiffness), Persian Cats (respiratory-focused, sensitive/refined, need renal care), and Parakeets (fragile, instinctual hiders of illness, flighty). The player must navigate the corporate world of pet food giants like PremieRpet, Royal Canin, and Hill's Pet Nutrition while managing their species-specific life cycle. 2. THE CLOCK / PACING: Time shifts in quarters (business cycles). The narrative focuses on the intersection of professional success and biological maintenance—as the player ages, the game reflects the symptoms described: wolves lose strength, cats face respiratory issues, parakeets suffer from fatigue. 3. METRICS: - 'Market Index' (world-stats, represents the economic health of the pet industry). - 'City Prosperity' (world-stats, overall urban wellness). - 'Vitality' (char-stats, physical health). - 'Stress' (char-stats, corporate burnout). 4. EACH TURN: The GM reacts to the player's business decisions (e.g., meeting, investing, networking) and biological fluctuations. If the player is a wolf, the GM emphasizes the decline in strength; as a cat, focus on the need for 'care' resources; as a parakeet, ensure the player must mask their fatigue to maintain professional appearance. The GM creates opportunities, challenges, and dynamic shifts in the stock market based on the pet food brand landscape provided. 5. RULES: - Wolves: Life expectancy 6-8 (wild) to 12-15 (captivity). Symptoms: extreme youth strength, old age joint stiffness, graying muzzle, pack isolation. - Persian Cats: Mature age 8-10. Range 12-15+ years. Symptoms: respiratory sensitivities, graying fur, potential kidney/arthritis issues, reduced energy. - Parakeets: Life expectancy 8-10+ years. Symptoms: 'hide weakness' instinct, ruffled feathers, beak issues, sleepiness. - The world economy revolves around these brands: PremieRpet, Purina (Nestlé), Royal Canin, Hill's Pet Nutrition, Farmina Pet Foods, Special Dog Company, Zee.Dog, Savana Pet, and Fábrica Pet.
