About the Game
"Work is good for your health! Or so they say, right?"
SYNOPSIS
You wake up in the middle of the office, but... you shouldn't be there anymore. Try to escape from a maze of rooms that will test your wits while you answer the phone to a malicious entity that knows a lot about you. You don't have time to waste... the phone is already ringing.
SURVIVE
You will have to endure the stress in the office, but don't worry, you'll have some tools to help you:
Anxiolytic Meds
Gun
Lighter
"Not too many resources, right? They wouldn't pay so much if it were easy..."
FIGHT OR FLIGHT
"Does making decisions under pressure stress you out? That wasn't in your resume..."
The sound of the phone won't be your only enemy. Facing horrors or running from them when possible is an important decision. Think fast and act, but remember... bullets are limited.
DO YOUR JOB... OR NOT
Each time you answer a call, the entity will try to learn more about what you think about your past, or perhaps test you. The only rule at work is to answer with a simple "Yes" or "No." Picking up the phone or not, and the answer you give if you dare to answer, will change your fate within the office.
INVESTIGATE
"I hope you're not one of those who takes sick leave over any little problem... Death doesn't mean the end."
The situations you face may have multiple solutions. Try different options, think again about that call, or thoroughly investigate the places you find, and who knows... maybe little by little you'll find a way to cheat your fate at work.
