How it feels

A grimly bureaucratic simulation where you methodically process people's lives through cold metrics, balancing dark absurdist humor with uncomfortable moral weight.

What players say

Players describe this as a short psychological horror game that relies on unsettling choices rather than jump scares. It takes about 30–45 minutes, has multiple endings, and encourages replay. Many compare it to Death & Taxes but darker, and say the writing balances dark comedy with genuinely uncomfortable moral dilemmas.
