Overview
Step into the bustling world of 1986 New York, not as a seasoned journalist, but as an aspiring media mogul in Clickbait Tycoon. This pixel-art idle game challenges you to transform a single website and a solitary desk into a sprawling media empire. Your journey begins with a single story; craft it into a viral sensation, publish it, and watch the views flood in. These views translate directly into ad revenue, which in turn allows you to hire interns, the first step in scaling your operation. Clickbait Tycoon blends the addictive nature of clicker games with RPG progression and collect-a-thon elements, all wrapped in a charming 2D aesthetic.

- Setting & Theme: Immerse yourself in a retro-inspired 1986 New York, focusing on the sensationalist side of media.
