How it feels

A playful, wordless text adventure where corporate ladder climbing is driven by emoji-based choices and absurd office politics.

What players say

Players call it a funny and accurate satire of tech office culture, with a chat interface that feels like Slack or Discord. It is short, around an hour, but branching paths encourage replays. A few note early frustration with unlocking the third promotion, though updates improved that.
