About this game

Aura Spray is a fine mist with no active ingredient and a very active marketing department. You run the company that sells it. You decide what the bottle claims. Everyone else decides what happens next.

Good Vibes Incorporated is an idle tycoon and business sim about wellness marketing, played with a straight face. Start with one shop, one product and one claim nobody can check. Finish with a business empire that has to answer for all of them.

THE CLAIM IS THE GAME
Every product carries a claim, and you set it: Grounded, Suggestive, Pseudoscientific or Outrageous. The spray never changes. The money does. So do the refunds, the protests, the inspectors, and the tone of the feed. Louder claims sell faster and land harder. Quieter claims are honest, which is its own problem.

Outrageous, for reference, reads: "Helps your Wi-Fi feel emotionally aligned."

WHAT YOU DO
• Open a small shop in London and sell calm to commuters.
• Launch over twenty products, from Moon Water to Parasocial SPF 50. Each one needs a claim.
• Hire cashiers, then therapists. Open a spa in Santorini and offer the Full Chakra Audit. Somebody will book it.
• Build a factory in Shenzhen and manufacture inner peace by the crate.
• Court influencers, buy ads, go on live television, and read the feed as it turns.
• Expand across a hand painted world atlas to Paris, Lagos, New York, Tokyo, Seoul, Mumbai, Dubai, Singapore, Reykjavik and more. Fourteen cities. None of them learned anything from the last.
• Take the company public. The prospectus has excellent energy.
• Open on the Moon, then Mars. Still no evidence.
• Face the Reckoning, where every claim comes due at once.

IDLE, NOT INNOCENT
The tycoon part runs itself. Staff sell, the factory ships and the rent comes due while you are away. Come back to the takings, a few refunds and a feed with opinions. Nobody has found this reassuring.

WHAT IT IS NOT
Aura Spray is not real. This is a satire, and nothing in it is medical advice. The products are labeled Pseudoscientific and Outrageous next to the words "Actually measurable? No." The game says this repeatedly, and means it.

HOW IT IS SOLD
Free. Rewarded ads play only when you ask for one. No banners, no forced interstitials. Alignment, the premium currency, is optional, and every city is reachable through ordinary play. One purchase, Claim Instantly, lets you claim every reward without watching an ad.

A game about dishonest marketing should not be sold dishonestly. That sentence is load bearing.

What’s new

First steps: a checklist of nine jobs for a new company, from making a product to opening a second city. It ticks itself off. Surviving a Reckoning is on the list.
Customers no longer freeze mid-stride at the shelf, in the queue or at the till. They were not meditating.
The spray is unchanged.
