A short, narrative, dystopian office survival game. Play as Job Cyphus, a newly-hired programmer eager to deliver value. Ship code to eat. Optimise your nootropics stack. Stay sane. Cope with HR's passive-aggressive pings. Climb the career ladder. Retire early (if you can).

I hope you have pleasant associations with DM pings. You are going to hear them a lot.

Your KPIs? Lines of code. You don't produce, you don't eat. It's that simple.

Find the optimal balance of stimulants and mood-stabilisers to increase your output while staying sane. Unlock new consumables with each promotion.

Each promotion brings higher earnings and pressure. Save enough to hit your retirement target and escape the rat race.
