No pay-to-win, by design
Premium only removes banners. It doesn't accelerate progression, unlock content, or grant bonuses. You pay 2.99€ for visual comfort — no one gets an unfair advantage over anyone. The simulation's coherence allows no shortcuts.
Not making it is also a story
The game doesn't force you to become a world star. Staying in modest tiers, switching to a secondary role within the craft, changing direction at 30: every path carries the same narrative weight as a Ballon d'Or.
Unique events for your story
Events are contextualized to the specific character: region of origin, position, age, trajectory, accumulated relationships. A curated pool generated during development — not 50 templates on repeat.
