## Overview

Corporate Chaos is an offline WPF business-management simulation played quarter by quarter. The player starts or loads a run, manages company and employee decisions, resolves financial and chaos outcomes, and advances through the game; story mode adds guided dialogue, branching relationships, and endings. MainWindow is the central runtime coordinator. The graph includes the documented management and reporting capabilities plus the story systems identified in the source index. Unsampled feature links are omitted or marked unverified rather than presented as inspected calls.

Main entry points: [`corporate_chaos/MainWindow.xaml.cs`](https://github.com/theo-retical808/corpo_chaos/blob/main/corporate_chaos/MainWindow.xaml.cs) (Game Window), [`corporate_chaos/systems/NarrativeEngine.cs`](https://github.com/theo-retical808/corpo_chaos/blob/main/corporate_chaos/systems/NarrativeEngine.cs) (Narrative Engine), [`corporate_chaos/systems/StoryModeManager.cs`](https://github.com/theo-retical808/corpo_chaos/blob/main/corporate_chaos/systems/StoryModeManager.cs) (Story Manager), [`corporate_chaos/systems/SaveLoadManager.cs`](https://github.com/theo-retical808/corpo_chaos/blob/main/corporate_chaos/systems/SaveLoadManager.cs) (Save Manager)
