Bent FC: Tournament Edition

You are the general secretary of a small football federation and its team manager at the same time. On matchday you draw the ball with your finger, one curve at a time, past whoever is standing in the way. Between matches you sit in an office and do the other job: buying players, paying agents, naturalising foreigners, keeping the press quiet and getting a nation into a tournament it has no business being at.

Two halves that feed each other. The match is a line you draw and an opponent who bends round it with the same three curves you would. The office is a ledger with a reason on every line, a heat meter that rises when somebody notices, and a market board that never shows you the same man twice in a cycle.

- Draw every pass, shot and set piece by hand. No stick, no buttons
- Play a match, sim it, or bail out of a live one and sim from where you stand
- A paperwork market: quote a case, wait the weeks, and find out if it is refused
- Agents take a cut, leak what you are doing, and can be paid to stay quiet
- Audits strike a case out, and the player is simply unavailable
- Three ways off the heat meter, and every one costs something that is not money
- Rival federations shop the same board you do
- Facilities, staff, sponsors, press and a board with opinions

The bent half is not a cheat menu. Every crime has to be visible either on the pitch while your finger is down or in the bracket, so nothing you pay for is just a number moving on a screen you never look at. Getting caught is not a fail state either. It is a bill.

Nations, players and competitions are invented. There are no real footballers, no federation crests, no manufacturer kits and no official nicknames.

Plays fully offline. No account, no sign-in. Free, supported by occasional between-match interstitials and optional rewarded ads, with no in-app purchases.

Qualify. However you have to.
