About
You inherit a crushing debt and a pleasure bureau hidden beneath the city's elite, and the clock starts running the moment you take the keys. Nothing about it is glamorous. It's a ledger you have to balance before the debt collectors do it for you.
Clearing that debt means recruiting companions, keeping dangerous clients satisfied, and building a reputation without drawing the wrong kind of attention. The city notices success, and it doesn't notice kindly.
Day to day, you're choosing between safe contracts that pay steadily and riskier special deals that pay more but can blow up in your face. You manage the bureau itself room by room, tracking money, staff, and events as you go, and decide how far you're willing to push your people and yourself to get out from under the debt before it buries you.
