This is the top screen of the game. Click 'Log in' at the bottom of the screen or press the enter key to start the game. Subsequent page turning is also OK if you press the enter key.



The game screen looks like this, with illustrations and text displayed at the same time. All texts are in English, so you need to translate them yourself or use a translation service such as

Google Translate or DeepL Translator. The opening said, 'When you look in the mirror, you will find sandy hair reminiscent of your favorite Roman emperor, soft but sharp blue eyes, and moles and freckles scattered around your neck and chin.' A young player, Mark Zuckerberg, aims to launch Facebook.



The player who became Zuckerberg seems to be bored with campus life. The first four options that appeared were 'A: Play Civilization played millions of times', 'B: Go to meet Eduardo', 'C: Work on Coursematch software development', and 'D: Write a diary'. was.



If you make a mistake, you end up developing other software or services instead of Facebook.

Sometimes I developed Facebook-related software like Wirehog, and sometimes I was absorbed in developing completely unrelated services and ended up becoming a Google engineer. Please note that the purpose of 'Zuck: The Game' is just to 'launch Facebook', so if you work on development other than Facebook, the game will be over.

Even if you select the wrong option, there is a button at the bottom right of the screen to return to the previous screen, so it is also an ant to follow the correct route by making full use of this. It took about an hour to clear it.
