YOUR INTERVIEW NEVER ENDED
You showed up for a job application. You never left the building.
Unemployed Nightmare Together is a 1–4 player online co-op survival horror set inside a procedurally generated corporate nightmare. Somewhere in the flickering hallways, a relentless job application stalks the floors and the only way out is to finish your "onboarding" and reach the elevator before it drains the soul out of every last applicant. Work together. Watch each other's backs. Punch the clock, or get punched out.
FEATURES
A Predator That Learns You
An alive job application hunts the office with real perception, line-of-sight vision, sound-based hearing, and rising suspicion. It patrols, investigates noises, chases and corners you to drain your soul. The harder the difficulty, the sharper its senses. Stay quiet. Stay moving. Stay together.
True Co-op Survival
Nobody escapes alone. When a teammate is drained, they don't just die, they become a persistent corpse waiting for rescue. Grab a Resignation Letter, reach their body, and bring them back into entity will hunt you relentlessly through walls. Only a teammate can peel it off your back.
Proximity Voice Chat
Built-in 3D positional voice. You hear who's near you, not who's on your screen, whisper plans around a corner, or scream as footsteps close in behind you. Crystal-clear audio with noise gate and auto-gain, right out of the box.
A Different Office Every Time
Every match generates a brand-new floor plan from modular rooms, corridors, and locked zones. Layered keycard security, sabotaged power grids, and decorated offices mean no two escapes ever feel the same.
Sabotage the Lights, Restore the Power
An escalating power-and-lights system plunges whole sections of the building into darkness. Find the electrical room, flip the breakers, and keep the lights on, because the entity loves the dark, and a Director AI is watching, ready to strike the moment your team relaxes.
Beat the Clock
Fill the Freedom Bar by shredding paperwork and completing objectives. The office clock ticks from 08:00 toward 17:00. Reach quitting time, make it to the elevator, and get out alive. Miss the elevator, and you're stranded with it.
Make It Yours
Customize your character, unlock cosmetics through progression, and express yourself with a radial emote wheel. Feed the office cat in the lobby while you wait for your team to ready up.
CAN YOU MAKE IT TO 5 O'CLOCK?
Restore the power. Finish the paperwork. Revive your team. Reach the elevator before the office claims you for good.
Grab your friends. Clock in. And whatever you do: Don't apply!
