About the Game

Welcome to MegaCorp

We Wear the Mask is a satirical interactive fiction game about a young man working at an exciting new Silicon Valley AI startup.

18 and fresh out of school, Daniel gets the opportunity of a lifetime: a remote job for MegaCorp, a company building a game-changing AI coding agent. They need young, hot—I mean, clever—talent to help change the world. Only, the job is not quite what Daniel expected, the employees are not quite who they seem, and MegaCorp's CEO is not quite the tech titan he makes himself out to be.

Feel the Isolation

The entirety of the game takes place in the isolation of Daniel's room - it's remote work taken to the next level. Through your MegaCorp-provided computer, you will manage review code, interact with your coworkers, and try to uncover the truth about MegaCorp and their mega AI.

Core Gameplay Features:

  • Train the AI: Your main job is managing the code that the AI gets trained on. You'll review code snippets choose to Approve or Reject them. What you feed the AI, determines how well the company will do

  • Mandatory Video Calls: Advance the narrative by jumping on video calls with your eccentric and somewhat unhinged coworkers.

  • Read the Room (and Your Emails): Dig through your MegaCorp emails for clues, story flavour and gossip. Try to keep your sanity through the Saul monthly emails.

  • Your Choices Matter: Branching paths mean your choices will dictate Daniel's future. Will you fall in love and die in penury, or sell out to join the tech elite and get really, really, really rich? (And happy. Obviously happy).

  • Replayability: A single playthrough at MegaCorp is around 4-5 hours. With 8 distinct endings you'll need to try and climb the corporate ladder multiple times.
