# Hire

> Hire is a single-player, medieval-fantasy mercenary-guild management sim for PC (Windows, on Steam), coming July 2026, made and published by SIB Scientific. You run a guild: take dangerous contracts, haggle the price in your own words, recruit fighters with real personalities, and send them into danger. You prepare the job, then you live with the result.
