About the Game

(This game is about 1 hour long and must be completed in one sitting)

Become a family member of Extricate Inc.

We are the most ethical non-consensual euthanasia service available in the US government. As a Paper Pusher, you will be the one who decides who gets extinguished and who gets extricated. These choices will be made based on metrics like age, gender, job, income, physical abnormalities, drug use, and much more! This job also comes with a complimentary apartment for the time of your contract and an Extricate Home Entertainment System for you to enjoy during your downtime!

Main Workload

As an Extricate Inc. Paper Pusher, you will be filling papers. Each paper will be associated with a person, including details about their name, age, gender, job, and other relevant information. You then will make a decision of if that person is Extricated (Saved) or Extinguished (Killed). Each day will have 5 papers. Only two people can be Extricated per day.

(This game learns who you are and what you care about in a person as you play.)
