About this game
▎ They don't advertise The Circuit. They don't need to. Someone decided you're worth the risk — and left you a
Tessera. Don't waste it.
▎ A mysterious token arrives — a Tessera — your invitation into an underground world of five-on-five tactical combat.
As a Circuit Broker, you'll assemble a roster of agents, manage their contracts, call strategies mid-match, and watch
every firefight play out from behind your desk.
▎ DRAFT YOUR SQUAD
▎ Scout the recruiting pool. Evaluate raw stats — aim, movement, utility. Sign the right agents, build team chemistry,
and shape a roster that fits your playstyle.
▎ MANAGE EVERYTHING
▎ Handle weekly payroll, negotiate contracts, train your agents solo or with mentors, and manage your budget through
sponsorship deals with underground and corporate brands alike.
▎ WATCH IT UNFOLD
▎ Matches simulate round-by-round with full CS-style economy, weapon buys, utility usage, and four-phase tactical
combat. Call timeouts. Change strategies. Watch your agents clutch — or choke.
▎ CLIMB THE CIRCUIT
▎ Compete across an 18-week season with double round-robin play, playoffs, promotion, and relegation. Build your
legacy through multiple seasons as your broker reputation grows.

Update — August 14, 2026: Player Feedback Pass
Update — August 14, 2026: Player Feedback Pass This one's built off real feedback from a full playtest report plus follow-up sessions — thanks to everyone still putting rounds in this early. Focus was squashing the stuff that actually breaks or slows down a match. FIXED • New Game could soft-lock if you closed the draft folder before signing a squad. Blocked now, with a clear reason why. • Defuse required actually standing on the bomb site. Previously a defender anywhere on the map could get credit for it. • Post-plant no longer goes dead silent — defenders react and move faster, and you'll hear commentary instead of nothing. • Bomb beep now actually accelerates as the timer runs down. • Weapon-save retreats play out at a real pace instead of instant or dragging. • Fixed an enemy death animation glitch, a broken camera zoom on the right monitor, and a trophy incorrectly showing on a fresh save. PACING Audited every real-time wait in a round and cut the padding. A full 24-round match should run roughly 13-15 minutes shorter. NEW: NON-LETHAL ROUND ACTIONS Not every round has to end in a kill: • Real callouts for the play your team actually ran. • A clean 1v1 duel can now end in a whiff instead of a kill. • Flashed operators take a real accuracy penalty on their next fight. • Callouts when defenders fight outnumbered instead of falling back to save. DESK CHANGES • Tessera Token → opens the Skill Tree • Tactical Case → opens Recruiting • R&R(Locker Room) → Located through Training Room • Locker Room → back, accessible from Training Room • Interactable desk objects now glow on hover QUALITY OF LIFE • WASD camera panning while zoomed into any screen or tablet • First-time explainer popups for each mini-game, plus a Settings toggle to turn them off entirely • A skipped mini-game no longer auto-fails you • Sports Doc's Full Treatment now protects against fatigue for two matches, not just a one-time resetRead full article on Community Announcements (Capt_Mugiwara)
