How it feels

A satirical, darkly funny puzzle game that feels methodical and minimalist, with a tense, corporate undercurrent.

What players say

Players call it a clever Sokoban-like puzzle game wrapped in corporate satire. The difficulty spikes sharply at times, and the real-time NPC movement means there is no undo button, but the help button bails you out. Reviews praise how new mechanics keep appearing just as things get familiar.
