Unpatched.
Buggy version is intentional - publisher only pushes fixes to Steam "because piracy". Boo :(

Punch Club Deluxe Edition
Description
Includes the soundtrack and an exclusive artbook!
Your father was brutally murdered before your eyes. Now you must train hard, eat chicken and punch dudes in the face to earn your place in the Punch Club ranks, and discover who ended your father's life.
Punch Club is a boxing tycoon management game with multiple branching story lines. Your goal is clear, but how you get there depends on whether you want to legitimately climb the rankings, or take the more ridiculous, shady route.
Along the way you'll want to focus your talents. Will you take the Way of the Tiger, the Way of the Turtle, or the Way of the [other one?]? Your strength, accuracy and agility all depends on whichever Way enlightens your path. Do you have stripes, or flippers?
And every decision will matter, especially in your social life. You'll be juggling friendships, love life, work, recreational time, relationships, and possible stardom, all alongside your gym time and fighting aligators. It's not all just pumping iron, you know.

85/100
Punch Club is a game with a lot of personality. From its realistic gameplay to the little surprises it has tucked away, there's something special about it that will have you hooked. In spite of the moments that feel like a lot of grinding, it's an enjoyable title.

7/10
While Punch Club has a great hook, it has a real tendency to make you cross.

7.5/10
Punch Club is yet another example of how small teams that focus on gameplay that's engaging can offer interesting long-term experiences even if they do not feature impressive graphics or stories.

Great Potential
This game is excellent from its mechanics to the story, to the game play. Only drawback is abrupt ending thats so transparently represents rushed game that could be much much more.

Underrated due to publisher decisions
The version on GOG here as of today is 1.31 which is THE LATEST AVAILABLE. Including Czech localization as NOT listed on GOG store page for whatever incompetent reasons. This game deserves so much better rating. All the downvotes are majorly because of publisher boycotting updates on GOG as an "anti-piracy" effort like if this was some kind of solution that doesn't do even more harm. Actually most games are plagued by delayed updates on GOG but this one in particular got review bombed for it. GOG's ignorance towards transparency when it comes to visibility of the release version even more harms the industry but who am I to tell "employees" how to do their work competently. The game is retro-inspired point-n-click sims management with quite decent parodic story from the 80's 90's that is further developed in even better sequel. This is one of those artistic gems that are worth every bit of the invested money and time.
