Debtline: Survival

Running a marketing agency

Debtline: Survival is a PC business-management simulation about building a marketing agency while trying to pay off a loan shark. You play an unemployed 29-year-old who takes a loan secured against their life, then has to make the fledgling agency profitable before the deadline.

Money and staff

You manage the company’s cash flow, deciding when to invest and when to pay down the debt. You also hire and train professionals to handle client work, balancing deadlines, client acquisition and campaigns against the limited hours in each day.
