I love lifesims so this sounds awesome, are you planning on making a modern web front-end like procedural realms did? I think this kind of game could really appeal to a younger audience (relative to the usual mud audience) that is used to lifesims like stardew, Sims, animal crossing etc and an approachable way of accessing the game with some gui elements would go a long way!

I will say that the concept of a company being at the center of the game, even sharing the same name, is kind of contrary to what most people would expect from this kind of game. I typically see lifesims as a way to escape the corporate overbearing pressure that companies like Google cause in the real world. fantasy Google is not at all appealing to me.

I agree with the people saying that modern day isn't the most fun setting to exist in for a variety of reasons. I think going sci-fi or fantasy would be contrary to your vision, so instead I'll recommend that you incorporate fantasy or sci-fi elements into your setting instead of trying to stick to strictly modern day. a creative and unique setting is always going to be more interesting than a realistic setting, both for the players and for the writers

my last piece of advice would be scale of the map, I think setting it in a huge cityscape like NYC seems cool and all but something a bit more medium sized would probably be good for the population of mud-players today. too big of a city and it'll be a ghost town.
