Kayfabe: Wrestling Promoter
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
Kayfabe is a wrestling promoter game where you book the winners and earn the crowd's belief. Build a promotion from a church hall to a stadium, one Friday night at a time.
Gil Moreno left you four wrestlers, a ring, a television deal with twelve weeks remaining, and a pile of debt. Marlene keeps the books while rival promoter Chase Montgomery eyes your talent. Give Iron Ike a last great run, make La Tormenta a star, and decide whether Bruno is a monster or a hero.
- Generate a roster of 64 fictional wrestlers with different stats, personalities, popularity and potential
- Sign free agents, buy out rival talent, renew contracts, choose training, and manage fatigue and injuries
- Book one to four matches per show with your choice of participants, winners, finishes and championship stakes
- Unlock 12 match types, including tag team, ladder, cage, mask versus mask, battle royal and iron man
- Call three to five spots during each animated pixel match; read the crowd cue and judge the success chance
- Build hero-versus-villain feuds with microphone promos, backstage brawls and run-ins, then deliver a supercard payoff
- Manage ticket, merchandise and TV income against salaries, production costs and debt
- Grow through five venues and improve seats, lights, merch stands and entrance ramps
- Award four championships, earn yearly awards, and retire veterans into the Hall of Fame
- Complete a ten-year career, then keep booking in sandbox mode
