About the Game

Step into the soul-crushing shoes of middle management.

You’ve been “promoted” to lead a team of obedient office drones through puzzle-filled corporate mazes disguised as workspaces. Navigate desks, cubicles, and suspiciously dangerous break rooms to meet impossible deadlines — all while your overbearing CEO “motivates” you with constant commentary, questionable ethics, and a complete disregard for workplace safety.
