‘The Executive’: Because Mobile Games Need More Businessman-on-Werewolf Action

Fancy-ass business types face all kinds of strains on a daily basis. Hirings, firings, presentations in front of other fancy-ass business types (some of whom are even more important than you are), an inferior Blend of the Day at Starbucks... it's enough to give your stomach ulcer several stomach ulcers.

These poor bastards have enough to deal with, is what I'm getting at here. They could probably do without having to battle suit-wearing werewolves in the office. What the hell are you doing to them, The Executive?

Feast your eyes on this concept for a game: High-flying businessman must defend his company and keep stock values and profits high with smart investments, while simultaneously thwarting a supernatural invasion. By roundhouse kicking werewolves in the 'nads. Throw in some light platforming, control it all with the simple touch motions of mobile games, and you've got something I'm most definitely on board with.

Over on Kotaku, The Executive is a huge hit, both for its simple, addictive and deceptively deep gameplay and for its completely batshit crazy nature.
