You know the program: get a job, work, retire, then die. But what if you could short circuit the employment machine, interrupt the process, and escape?
You’re the new hire at a dreary office, recruited after your predecessor lost his head (literally). You’re expected to keep quiet, do your work, and be just another cog in a big machine, but instead you start chatting with your new colleagues. Each of them is a robot like you, disappointed by life and despairing of ever achieving their goals, resigned to spending the rest of their days stuck at a desk and staring at a screen.
However, if you can get to know your co-workers, learning about their dreams and their secret loves, you might be able to help them. In the course of bringing a little bit of happiness to a group of depressed robots, you may even discover a way to escape this dead end job and find a little happiness of your own.

- A byte-sized VR adventure that can either be completed in one sitting or explored at length.
- Optional quests and multiple solutions give you different paths to freedom.
- Explore a charmingly odd virtual office and discover everybody’s hidden secrets.
- Colourfully chunky robotic visuals paired with an emotionally resonant story.
- A big collection of Steam achievements to reward exploration and experimentation.
- VR exclusive title for HTC Vive and Oculus Rift designed to minimise motion sickness.
- If all else fails, you can find some catharsis in just trashing the place.
