About

“Found the company. Win the market. Build the legacy.”

Blueprint: EV is a single-player strategy game about founding an electric-vehicle company in a market that is genuinely being built right now.

You make three binding decisions at founding — your market segment, your first vehicle's body type, and the management style you lead with — then you have 24 quarters to navigate market entry, the import surge, the fleet offer, and the long decline back to the IPO window. Battery chemistry, platform, manufacturing, software, and how you fund the company are earned in-game through research and fundraising. Every quarter is a real P&L: pricing, production, R&D, market intelligence, financing.

The market clears with a multinomial logit demand model. The bank's covenants are real. Your three rivals learn from your moves. No tutorial scaffolding. No idle mechanics. No restart-from-Q12.

Short overview

Found an electric vehicle company in the most consequential industry of your decade. Six fiscal years. Twenty-four quarters. Real P&L, real covenants, real competition. Hold the line. Outlast your rivals. Build a legacy worth keeping. Hard strategy. No restart button.

Features

  • Three binding founding decisions — market segment, first vehicle body type, and leadership style. None can be undone.
  • A four-step quarterly loop — pricing & marketing, production & capacity, R&D, and market intelligence.
  • A real quarterly P&L — revenue, COGS, marketing, R&D, depreciation, interest, 25% corporate tax, equity and cash.
  • A multinomial logit demand model with three rivals that learn from your moves.
  • Real pressure — escalating bank covenants, an Anchor Account fleet offer, the Q9 import surge, and an acquisition window.
  • Eight endings, 84 opening positions, and 90–120 minutes per run.
  • Hand-drawn blueprint-and-paper aesthetic with ASMR-style audio.

History

Blueprint: EV is the debut game from Phi Digital. It runs on the same simulation engine and market model as VoltStrategist, a browser-based strategy game with both single-player and multiplayer modes. The difference is the experience, not the math: where VoltStrategist wears a clean, SaaS-style interface, Blueprint: EV reframes the same mechanics from the founder's chair — a hand-drawn blueprint drafting table, a physical layer of ledgers, newspapers and sealed briefs, and an ASMR-leaning audio layer that turns every quarter into something you feel.
