The Coach
Sent in when a broccoli head hogs a machine. It works about 7 times out of 10.
Satirical gym tycoon
Your gym grows.So do your problems.
You buy a damp cellar and try to turn it into a real gym. The machines break down, the members hog them, the influencers film everything. Good luck.
The Voice · Speaker 1New sign-up: Linh. Welcome. See you in three weeks. Or not. A new employee has joined the team. Please don't tell them the truth just yet.
Coming soon to SteamSteam page planned for November 2026.
01 / The game
The game
Isometric view, toy-like look, chibi characters. Every chapter is a new gym with its own headaches.
01
Proper management
Machines wear out and die, electricity isn't cheap, staff want their pay and members expect something for their money. Drop below -$1,000 and you're bankrupt. If you'd rather take it easy, there's a sandbox mode.
02
Annoying members
Broccoli heads park themselves on a machine for up to an hour to answer one text. The Old Iron Guy has been judging everyone since 1989. You get to send in the coach.
03
A reputation
Three meters follow you from chapter to chapter: Hype, Credibility, Atmosphere. Reshare a shady influencer and your hype shoots up, but your credibility remembers.
04
The Voice
A narrator on the gym's PA. She comments on everything, especially the things you hoped she'd miss.
02 / Try it
Pumpfeed
Your gym's social network, on the manager's phone: fake followers, dodgy influencers and a reply to write. Try it.

THE GYM FEED
@FitGourou_12k tagged you. 12,000 followers, 9,000 of them dodgy. He wants to film in your gym.

The meter values come straight from the game. The tag is made up for this demo.
03 / The people
The people of the gym
Staff doing their best, and members who aren't all here for the workout.
The EgoLifter
Films himself before, during and after every set. The sets are secondary.
The Technician
Fixes the machines before the one-star reviews start rolling in.
The Other Technician
She's seen worse than your cellar. And she'll tell you.
The Cleaner
The shine is his doing. The stickiness is yours.
The Inspector
A clipboard, a stern look. Making friends isn't part of the job.
The Front Desk
Without her the gym doesn't open. It's in the rules.
The Regular
She actually comes to work out. She's in a very small minority.
04 / The machines
The machines
Ten machines for chapter 2, built in Blender, each in three states: Classic, Modern, Rusty. Here are five.

05 / The gyms
Chapters
Two gyms to start, each with its own look and its own problem.
Playable
Chapter 1 · The Cellar
Brick, green tile, pipes and a bit of neon. The machines are second-hand, the coach is exhausted, the reviews and the bills keep coming. Your job: turn it into a real gym.
In development
Chapter 2 · Fitness 2000
A 90s neighbourhood gym, bought along with its 120 regulars. Hype brings in new people, and the newcomers annoy the ones who were there first. You get ten new machines, house rules and Pumpfeed, which will make you regret some of your replies.
06 / What's next
Roadmap
These dates are targets. If we have to slip to ship a better game, we'll say so here.
- November 2026
Steam page opens
Add the game to your wishlist. It helps us more than anything else.
- Early 2027
Free demo
Try the Cellar before you buy.
- Spring 2027
Early Access
Chapters 1 and 2, sandbox mode, in French and English. Tell us what drives you up the wall, it'll steer what we do next.
- After that
New chapters
More gyms and more headaches, announced in the devlog before they ship.
How it's made
We've been at this for months: the chapter 2 map, its ten machines and their animations in Blender, then the assembly in Unity. There's generative AI in the starting concepts, the posters, the characters, the narrator's voice and the music. The jokes are about behaviours. No real names, no real brands.
