Get to work, and earn enough to obtain the prestigious citizenship of the City of Light, where you can finally live the life you’ve always dreamed of!

Features:

  • A short (~1 hour) horror adventure focused on recycling, hard labor and… procrastination?

  • Earn credits by selling Tetra-Mat, special high-density matter containers.

  • Disassemble defective androids to recycle their parts. Don’t worry, they don’t feel pain!

  • Enjoy the complete solitude and atmosphere (Certified Non-Toxic) of the disposal facility.
