Recoup 'n' Roll: Music Industry Simulator

You're in the music business now.

Recoup 'n' Roll is a music industry sim where you run a record label: start as an employee or build your own label from nothing. Sign undiscovered talent, form bands, fund recording sessions, release music across streaming and radio, book concerts, and fight for chart position while rival labels try to poach your artists. Each market feels different and distinct, with its own chart logic, contract norms, royalties, audience behavior, and regional quirks. Experience US-style recoupment deals, JP/KR idol contracts, and Brazil’s unique music economy.

Features
