6 itemsAbout the Game
You are the new Head of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
Your mandate? Raise the Culture Credibility Index (CCI). Leadership is panicked, investors are watching, and you have a lot of emails to answer.
A LINEAR DESCENT INTO MADNESS
Let’s be honest: You cannot save this studio. The ship is sinking, the captain is delusional, and the iceberg is made of good intentions.
This is a linear narrative experience. There are no branching paths to a "happy ending." No strategy saves the studio. Why? Because in this satire, the system itself is the problem. Your job isn't to fix the leak; it's to rearrange the deckchairs on the Titanic so they look more inclusive while you go down.
GAMEPLAY: THE ILLUSION OF CONTROL
Field unhinged demands from a caricatural leadership team—from organizing "segregated safe spaces" to policing language with an AI bot.
Choose Your Poison: Will you ruin the team's morale with a mandatory 8-hour seminar or an intrusive personal survey? It doesn't matter! The studio will burn either way, but at least you get to pick the color of the flames.
Manage the Optics: Your choices might not save the company, but they save you. Boost your CCI score to ensure that when the dust settles, you have a shiny Golden Parachute waiting.
Witness the Train Wreck: Watch the studio crumble in real-time through the "Conscious Connect" social feed, where your employees scream into the void about your policies.
FEATURING:
1 Hour of Pure Chaos: A tight, focused satirical story about corporate absurdity.
Meaningless Choices (Kind of): Pick A or B to see different funny dialogue, but the destination is always the same: Disaster.
Failing Upwards: The ultimate corporate skill. Can you destroy the product but still get a promotion?
