FOUNDERThe system fights back
Grow too fast, take too many risks, cross the line — and your success attracts attention. Investigators look closer, cases go to court, and you have to protect what you built.

Investigations and consequences
Success attracts attention.
Every deal leaves a trace. The deeper you go, the harder the system pushes back — manage the risk, or face the consequences.
“In Stockholm, nothing stays hidden forever.”
Heat level
From opportunity to persecution
The higher your heat, the stronger the response. A day run without a licence raises it, time lowers it, and heat decides when an investigation opens.

The consequence system
Real risks. Lasting impact.
One consequence leads to the next, and each one reaches your businesses, your money and your reputation.
Investigations
When heat says so, prohibited operation opens an investigation that moves on to charges and a trial.
In the gameCourt cases
A trial ends in a verdict — a game fine or custody — decided by how long the prohibited operation went on.
In the gameReputation damage from a conviction
A fine costs the business reputation, and custody costs it more.
In the gameFinancial investigations into transactions, shell companies and partners
Investigators follow the money through your group.
PlannedRaids and seizures
At critical heat a search seals the company until the verdict and seizes the proceeds of its prohibited days; the verdict forfeits them.
In the gameFrozen assets
Accounts frozen during an investigation — once FOUNDER has banks.
PlannedNegative media and lost partners
Headlines cost trust, partners and customers.
PlannedRivals exploit your trouble
Competitors move in on your markets while you are busy.

More of the darker path
Every darker action in FOUNDER is a game choice with a price, a risk and a consequence — never a real-world method. Money in FOUNDER is game money only.
