A fantasy guild management sim disguised as a dungeon crawler, where you supervise adventuring parties rather than fighting directly.

Progress Orders launched in April 2025 to a confusing reception, with marketing having positioned it as a Rune Factory-like action game when it is actually a niche management sim. The core gameplay loop is solid and resonates strongly with players who discover what the game actually is, generating quiet residuals that could stabilize if repositioned. Revival through better onboarding, UI polish, and transparent positioning could unlock a devoted but currently undersized audience; acquisition by a publisher with management-sim expertise (Kairosoft, Klei, Two Point) might be the stronger path. Most realistic play: revival.

Risk: The game's core appeal is extremely niche; even positive players describe it as 'pretty damn niche' and most initial buyers were misled by genre mislabeling.
Risk: Multiple reports of dated engine settings (1080p max resolution, no borderless fullscreen, poor 4K upscaling despite Unreal Engine use) signal incomplete polish for a 2025 release.
Risk: Developer (HAKAMA Inc., published by Bushiroad) shows fading studio status, no community posts in 13+ months, and zero discount promotions since launch; institutional support appears minimal.
