BurnerEmpire

BurnerEmpire is a real-time multiplayer crime simulator that lives in the corner of your screen. Build a drug empire from nothing — one cook, one dealer, one dirty dollar at a time — all through a burner phone interface that stays on top of whatever else you're doing. Set up your operation, check in between rounds of your main game, and watch the money stack while you work, stream, or browse. It's a desktop crime companion that never stops running.

Your Desktop Side Hustle
Burner Empire is built to be a corner game. The phone-shaped window pins to any corner of your screen, always on top, and fades to near-transparent when you're not looking at it. Hover to check your cash. Tap to reassign dealers. Minimize to a tiny pill widget when you need the space. Your dealers keep selling, your heat keeps decaying, your rivals keep scheming — whether you're tabbed in or not. It's idle income meets active crime strategy: set up the operation, let it cook, and check back when something pops off.

Cook. Deal. Launder. Rise.
Start with pocket cash and a recipe for weed. Cook product in your lab, hire street dealers to move it, and watch dirty money roll in — even while you're offline. As you rank up, unlock harder drugs with bigger margins: pills, meth, coke, heroin. But every batch you cook and every deal your crew pushes raises your heat — and the cops are always watching.

8 Districts. One City. Your Empire.
The city is divided into eight districts, each with its own economy and demand. Weed moves fast in College. Coke sells premium Uptown. Prices shift in real-time based on supply and demand across all players. Scout the markets, find the margins, and move product where it pays.

Heat Is Always Rising
Every action leaves a trail. Cook too much, deal too hard, and your heat meter climbs toward a bust. Get caught and you lose your inventory, pay bail, or rot in a cell. Bribe cops to cool things down — or lay low and let it decay. Risk and reward, every single tick.

Real-Time PvP Standoffs
Rob a rival. Intimidate a competitor. Post an anonymous bounty on someone's head. When both players are online, hostile moves trigger standoffs — real-time combat rounds where you pick Attack, Counter, or Defend. Gear matters: brass knuckles hit harder, kevlar absorbs a hit, a burner piece wins ties. Losers go down shaken or locked up. Winners take the spoils.

Build Your Crew
Create a crew. Recruit soldiers, upgrade your HQ, and unlock front businesses that launder money while generating passive income. Level your headquarters to access shared vaults, rackets, and crew-exclusive operations. Strength in numbers — or go solo and trust nobody.

The Economy Never Stops
Burner Empire runs on a live 24/7 economy. Your dealers sell while you sleep. Rivals move on your turf while you're AFK. Markets shift, contracts expire, bounties get claimed. Pin the phone to your corner, glance at the news feed between matches, and make your moves when the moment's right. The city keeps spinning whether you're watching or not.
