A calm low-poly office exploration gradually turns unsettling as strange visions and phone calls distract from a simple programming task.

What players say

Players finish in under an hour, often 20-30 minutes, and most point to the awkward movement controls. The game is a simple fetch-quest for USB sticks, broken up by mini-games, set in an office with a tense soundtrack. Players are split on the story: some call it amusing or relatable for IT workers, others find it lame.
