About the Game

Welcome to your first day of employment at System 6D. You will be testing our revolutionary geometry system for our new products to identify any potential bugs. This introduction packet will be your first look at what the job entails:

A ONE OF A KIND JUNGLE GYM.

QA testers are enveloped in procedural 3D worlds (based on the thing you think it’s based on) where your objective is to collect a series of artifacts and return them to the recycling bin for processing.

CLIMB ANYTHING (YOUR FRIENDS INCLUDED)

Get better acquainted with your colleagues by working together to evade threats and complete missions. Proper office etiquette is vital, your success at the job could depend on it.

PIPE DREAMS TURN TO PIPE NIGHTMARES.

You’ll become quickly aware that you and your team are not the only ones climbing around. Each assignment has a series of environmental threats, enemies, and challenges that increase in difficulty as they progress.

A “FLEXIBLE” WORKPLACE.

System 6D requires employees to be prepared for harsh and ever changing types of assignments. Failure is not an option and we require consistent performance. 

DOING YOUR JOB COMES AT A COST, LITERALLY

System 6D is responsible for providing the necessary resources for excelling at your job. Complete assignments to unlock points to use in the company shop for items that just might save you from termination.

DRESS CODE POLICY

All testers are required to be within the dress code. To ensure it is always followed, a variety of unlockable cosmetics are rewarded to testers that are looking to stand out. 

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Employees are encouraged to explore the office during their limited company assigned break time.
*benefits are limited and TBC

A STRICT NO-SWEARING POLICY

Professional communications should always be conducted in the workplace. Use of inappropriate language will deduct points from your daily performance reviews.
