I found the document management way too confusing. There's no clear game loop and I'm kinda lost what signatures mean, what the other documents are what success is.
Papers please has a much simple mental model.

Would be interesting if we could plot the average amount of time spent on the creation of showhn stuff that gets to the front page, over the past years.

This looks awesome! Playing it now. It's a really good idea.
Edit: I looked at a few pitches, I thought they were very realistic. For the Pointer acquisition it only listed the requested round size, not the valuation, which I think is really important for investors. It didn't completely make sense to me why they would need an investment for an acquisition, but when a company gets an acquisition offer is a pretty good time to raise money.
Feedback: I'd recommend using a different branding rather than Y, since YCombinator invests at the seed stage using standard terms, and doesn't make follow-on investments as far as I know. (I could be wrong.) It's better if you make it a hypothetical VC rather than use YC's branding.
Game was very fun, thanks for making it.

So nostalgic. I had fun declining founders because of their various frauds/schemes.

I mean, technically you didn't recreate anything. You had the LLM pattern recognize something that already existed and it copied it. I don't mean to sound harsh, but create something new.
