Cart Panic! OS is not just a tycoon game. It's a fully functional operating system where you run an online store while hackers attack you, viruses pop up, customers rage in chat, and a high-stakes card game tempts you to gamble your profits away.

You start with $50, an ugly desktop, and your first debt. Your store has zero reviews. Your first supplier is already late. Then everything happens at once.

Your Desktop, Your Business

This isn't a menu-based tycoon. Every system runs through apps on your desktop. Drag windows, multitask between crises, and watch your taskbar fill up as chaos escalates.

• 19 functional apps - Dashboard, Analytics, Marketing, Finance, Employees, Hacking Terminal, Antivirus, MetaStack card game, and more
  
• Real window management - Minimize, resize, stack, and juggle multiple windows as orders pile up
  
• Persistent threats - Viruses spawn randomly, slow your system, corrupt data, and demand ransom

Run Your Store

Build your e-commerce business from scratch. Design your storefront, negotiate with suppliers, fulfill orders, and survive the constant pressure of unhappy customers.

• Website Studio - Design your store with layouts, themes, colors and fonts. Your design choices affect conversion rates
  
• Supply Hub - Manage inventory, browse suppliers, negotiate prices and delivery times. Cheap suppliers create defects
  
• Customer Chat - Answer questions, handle complaints, process refunds. One wrong reply can tank your reputation
  
• Marketing Campaigns - Launch ads, track ROI, and watch your budget burn as algorithms change

HackOS Terminal

A full hacking simulator built into the game. Open the terminal, type real commands, and attack targets for massive payouts. Or defend against incoming threats.

• Functional CLI - Navigate directories, run commands, autocomplete, command history
  
• 5 hacking minigames - Password cracking, firewall defense, encryption races, network mazes, packet sniffing
  
• Multiple targets - From easy marks to extreme difficulty, with risk and reward to match
  
• Attack & defend - Launch operations or protect your own systems from incoming breaches

MetaStack: Wager Ops

A Balatro-inspired roguelike card game hidden inside your desktop. Play poker hands, build combos, collect patches and plugins, and bet real in-game money against escalating contracts.

• Poker roguelike - Play hands from High Card to Five of a Kind, draft upgrades between rounds
  
• Real stakes - Wager your actual profits. Win big or lose everything
  
• Hype system - Build multipliers with consecutive wins, up to 10x
  
• 4 difficulty tiers - Safe, Medium, High, Extreme. Payouts scale from 1x to 10x
  
• Overclock mechanic - Risk instant multipliers with increasing danger

Manage Everything Else

• Employees - Hire staff, train skills, manage salaries, fire underperformers
  
• Finance - Track cash flow, take loans, pay taxes, avoid bankruptcy
  
• Investments - Long-term portfolios or arcade-style day trading with stop-loss and take-profit
  
• Analytics - Sales funnels, customer satisfaction, top products, performance over time
  
• Antivirus - Scan threats, quarantine malware, enable real-time protection
  
• 100+ upgrades - Eight upgrade branches: Storefront, Logistics, Payments, Marketing, Infrastructure, Expansion, Hacking, Security

Chaos is the Core

There is no pause button for the pressure. Customers don't wait. Viruses don't care about your cash flow. Your best employee might quit while you're mid-hack and a refund storm is brewing in chat.

Every session is different. Every decision has trade-offs. Every system affects every other system.

Build your empire. Or watch it crash.
