Dear Mega Brother (and majority shareholder in the misery of others),

Welcome to the general report on our progress. Discard the HR reports and expense spreadsheets; we’ve compiled everything that matters into a single glorious memo. Below, you will find the summary of how we transformed our modest extraction startup into a relentless corporate empire, feature by feature.

Consolidated Devlog: The Symphony of Eternal Productivity

Our journey has been long, but the results are, as expected, terribly efficient. Here are the “improvements” we’ve implemented to ensure the extraction of Chorumium never, ever, stops.

Features That Will Make You Question Your Morals (and Love It):

  • The All-Seeing Eye: A Fine-Tuned Micromanagement Interface

    • Corporate Crystal Ball: Our upgrade buttons now show the future. You not only see the current gain but also where your greed will take you at the next level. Plan your tyranny in advance!
    • The Personal Apocalypse Clock: We’ve added a timer to mark every second of your journey. Time is money, and the suffering of others is… well, also money.
    • The Effort Meter (Someone Else’s): A counter records every single click, whether it’s a desperate tap or a finger pressed down in continuous exhaustion. Every spasm is a data point.
    • Soul Metrics in Percentages: The Stress and Burnout bars now display numbers. Because reducing a soul to a cold statistic is the peak of managerial efficiency.
    • The Patience Test: The “hold to buy” mechanic only activates after 2 seconds. This is how we distinguish a momentary impulse from blind, exploitable dedication.
  • The Unshakable Foundation of the Empire: Revolt-Proof Stability

    • Centralized Suffering: To make balancing easier, we moved all base stress attributes and prestige rewards to a single file. We can now adjust the levels of agony with a single click.
    • The Blessing of Rigged Randomness: We removed a philosophical bug where luck could work against you. Now, variation is always a bonus. In this casino, the house always wins.
    • Unobstructed Eternity: We fixed a bug that prevented the Manager’s XP from becoming truly infinite. The path to unlimited exploitation is now clear.
  • The Cycle of Corporate Rebirth: Better Known as “Prestige”

    • Start Over, Suffer Better: Upon reaching level 1000, you can reset your progress. Why? To transmute your Chorumium into Soul Shards, a permanent currency empowered by the number of souls you’ve drained. The trauma of the past is the power of the future!
    • Ascension Preview: A dedicated tab now shows you in real-time how much you’ll gain by embracing a new beginning, so your decision can be informed, calculated, and cruel.
  • The Symphony of Exploitation: An Immersive Sound Experience

    • Elevator Music to Hell: A calm, corporate background melody to normalize the absolute chaos of your operation.
    • The Orchestra of Suffering: Every action has a note. A click sounds like a popping bubble; an employee “breaking” sounds like shattering glass; an upgrade sounds like cheap magic; and the combo has its own rising fanfare.
    • You Are the Maestro: We gave you the power to adjust the music and effects volumes. The illusion of control is a powerful engagement tool.
  • The Rat on the Wheel Engagement: Mechanics to Keep You Clicking

    • Combo System: Click relentlessly to fill a bar and activate a profit multiplier. If you stop, the bonus is over. Keep the rhythm; productivity doesn’t take vacations.
    • Tactile (Almost) Feedback: Icons fly, the screen shakes, and bars pulse with every click. We’ve created visual feedback so satisfying you’ll forget you’re running an ethically dubious operation.
    • Eternal Memory: The game now saves automatically and in multiple slots. Your Chorumium empire will persist, because progress (and profit) should never be lost.

With these cornerstones, our world doesn’t just work; it thrives on its own satirical logic. It remembers everything, speaks multiple languages, and sounds like success. We are ready for the next quarter.
