About the Game

YEAR 1985. WELCOME TO THE HEART OF BUREAUCRACY. You have just started your new job as a Human Resources clerk in a government agency. Your task: review incoming applicant files and decide who gets hired—and who doesn't.

However, these files contain much more than simple job applications. Rumors of an unidentified disease are beginning to echo through the agency's corridors. The pressure is mounting, and every hiring decision carries far more weight than it should.

Review the documents, cross-check the records, manage your budget, and protect your reputation. Under Review is a decision-driven game where cold bureaucracy, moral ambiguity, and a growing mystery collide.

KEY FEATURES:

  • Document Review: Examine incoming applicant files. Cross-reference stamps, signatures, and personal details with the rulebook. Every single detail matters.

  • Budget Management: Earn your salary and get bonuses for correct decisions—but pay the price for your mistakes. Manage your rent and stay financially afloat.

  • A Growing Mystery: Strange rumors are spreading. An unidentified illness, unusual directives from above... Uncover the dark truth the agency is trying to hide.

  • Moral Decisions: Follow the rules blindly or bend them. Every choice has consequences—not just for the applicants, but for you and your surroundings.

  • 1980s Atmosphere: A handcrafted retro aesthetic brought to life through AlterOS—a bureaucratic computer system distilled with cold, corporate tension.

  • Multiple Endings: Your cumulative decisions shape the outcome. Will you uncover the truth, or become an accomplice to the system you serve?
