How it feels
A casual game about the drudgery and anxiety of academic labor, where you juggle endless tasks to avoid firing, starvation, and mental breakdown, with occasional moments of levity.

What players say
Players say the game is a short point-and-click story that resonates with those in academia, though its rote mechanics and negative tone are divisive. The campaign lasts about an hour, with difficulty spikes from random lab failures, and evenings at home offer nothing beyond sleeping.
