About the Game

🏢 Work Is a Rule-Based Nightmare

In this company, you begin a seemingly ordinary working life—
go to work, complete tasks, manage your time, and improve your abilities.

But remember:

  • Meet your weekly KPI.

  • Resignation is death.

  • Rules come above all.

⏳ Manage Your Time, Shape Yourself

Every day is yours to decide.

You can:

  • Improve your stats to survive increasing pressure

  • Navigate between departments and build relationships

  • Unlock new abilities and actions

  • Balance stress and sanity

How you spend your days will determine who you become.

⚔ Fight the remnants of enslaved coworkers

In the digital world, the remnants of your coworkers will hunt you.

Each department follows its own combat rules.

Use everything you’ve learned from work to eliminate the KPIs that threaten you.

🧠 Multiple Endings

Every decision you make will affect:

  • The direction of the story

  • Your relationships

  • The stability of the rules

  • Your final outcome

You may end up as just another replaceable worker—
or you can flip the table and rewrite the rules.
