About This Demo

— DEMO VERSION —

This free demo includes the first 3 chapters of Required Synergy Workshop: Deja Damnation.

Saves, settings, and achievements are designed to transfer to the full game.

You are the newest hire at Zaera-Kanzaki Corp.

The orientation is mandatory. The team-building exercises are non-negotiable. The System is always watching.

And you've already done this before. You just can't remember how many times.

What This Is

Required Synergy Workshop: Deja Damnation is a slow-burn psychological horror visual novel. Corporate satire on the surface. Something much worse underneath.

The demo focuses on reading, thinking, choosing, and living with what follows.

How It Works

• Click through dialogue and internal monologue, or hold to advance automatically

• At key decision points, choose between 3–5 responses

• Every choice is recorded — without telling you why

Behind every choice is a hidden profile tracking Compliance, Resistance, and Detachment. You never see the bars. You notice the effects: adjusted dialogue, locked responses, and an environment that starts behaving like it knows you.

Demo Scope

The full game contains seven core modules, with two alternate paths unlocked by player profile. This demo covers the opening three chapters.

Visual Style

Characters and environments use a 1990s anime-inspired style. As corruption escalates, the art holds. The interface around it does not.

The System's language degrades into noise. Glitch artifacts accumulate in the UI layer. The frame the game uses to communicate with you becomes the thing you can't trust.

Who You'll Meet

Alice - An ancient soul guide operating under a corporate job title. Direct, clinically detached, and occasionally disturbing.

Bob - A construct built by the Zaera-Kanzaki merger. Dry, precise, and observant. He notices things before Alice does.

The System - The warden. At the start, its language is corporate-oppressive. Later, something else learns to borrow its voice.

English and Japanese text and voice are included.
