Field notes
The Boss Files currently labels its first installment “The missing paycheck”; Days 02 and 03 remain classified, with a new file promised weekly. The empire roster names eight mock companies, while the displayed hoodie is a $49 heavyweight cotton-blend item printed on demand. The game section outlines a park-to-city premise, but says its Steam page and wishlist button will appear once available.
