About the Game

Take part in an expansive choose-your-own-adventure horror story, where you’ll uncover the secrets of an anachronistic corporation reigning over a post-truth world. Solve cryptic riddles, make difficult choices, and escape the depths of SMYRNACORP with your mind intact, no matter the cost.

With hundreds of possible story routes, multiple endings, interactive puzzles and RPG elements, INHUMAN RESOURCES aims to elevate the traditional reading experience to more immersive, engaging heights, without forgoing the satisfaction of a well-crafted story.

  • Experience a non-linear storyline with countless possibilities. Befriend demented coworkers, survive sadistic supervisors, and unearth the evils hidden within SMYRNACORP.

  • Flesh out your employee profile by increasing your skills and finding hidden items, allowing you to discover secret paths.

  • Do whatever it takes to survive your nine-to-five. Steal confidential data, distort video footage, hack a colleague's computer and crack open vaults to meet company expectations.

  • Discover a collection of short stories written for the game's universe by an extensive cast of Canadian authors.

  • Full English and French localization available.
