Overall the game has good potential, but I have no idea what affects what. I'm getting a bunch of secrets that give me like 1k% more "money" but it doesn't do anything.
I got a secret that gives me 17x more CEO gain, yet I still earn exactly the same amount of money as before. I assume my CEO is the main producer of money because money gain goes up the most when I buy CEO. So shouldn't a 17x CEO production secret be a huge production bump? Why does it not do anything at all?
It also seems everything you buy effects everything? I buy a clipboard and my money gain increases on par with buying a CEO but if I buy interns I see no change at all, even though clipboard is said to boost interns by 6x. So that must mean clipboard has an effect on CEO too right? HR doesn't do anything because all the money gain comes from Business and multipliers from Office while Intern, Junior and Consultant do nothing in comparison.
I also don't get the produce stats because it has no obvious connection to anything. I buy 1 intern and it tells me that it's producing 33/s but i earn 31k/s instead. And if I buy 1 junior it says it produces 3/s but then my money gain bumps up to 220k/s. That goes for all producers, seemingly no connection to how much they actually produce.
A nice quality of life feature would be custom input for buying upgrades, not just x1, x10, x50 and x100. The reason for it is that I would want to see how long it would take to get secret milestones like 250, 500 and so on. You can only check if you have bought something like 150, 200 or 240 if you wanted to know how long it would take for you to be able to afford 250 of that certain thing. So you are forced to plan how many upgrades you buy. Even so, knowing when you can afford something 50 upgrades in the future isn't very useful because your money gain will obviously increase in the time it takes to afford those 50 upgrades. Though pushing for secrets is hardly worth it as they seem to do nothing for money gain anyways.
Contracts 1-3 were very easy and didn't take long at all to get, but contract 4 is an extreme bump in difficulty. Either you have a huge timewall and just afk for over 24 hours to get it or you just forget about contracts for the foreseeable future. The contract reward sucked anyways so it definitely isn't worth the timewall. Especially when those kinds of bonuses to production do nothing, as I learned from secrets.
2 features, Contracts and Secrets, feel totally useless now so it feels like the only thing to do is earning prestige points. after like 10k prestige points it feels like the best course of action is to farm 2-5k prestige points per prestige with 3 business and 2 office upgrades, Until you reach a point were it is faster to save up management points so you can unlock stock #2 and get lucky with the stocks so you get a ton of prestige points.
