About This Game

Are you ready for endless bureaucracy?

Welcome to Pending Approval, the idle game where your only mission is to fill out forms, stamp them, and climb the ranks of a Kafkaesque organization that has no beginning, no end, and no meaning.

🖊 FILL OUT. STAMP. REPEAT.

Every form is a new bureaucratic hurdle. Fill out fields, stamp the approval seal, and rack up Bureaucracy Points. The higher you climb the ranks, the more absurd the documents you have to process become.

Over 20 types of forms with increasingly Kafkaesque titles

Golden forms ⭐ with x10 rewards

Urgent forms ⚠ with a countdown and penalty

Rejection system for the most ruthless bosses

🤖 HIRE YOUR BUREAUCRATIC ARMY

Because no bureaucrat works alone. Start with a simple pen and end up running a network of absurd automatons that work 24 hours a day… literally.

20 Phase 1 Automators: From the Pen to the Final Seal

20 Phase 2 Automators: Even more ridiculous, unlocked after promotion

Mass Hiring System

Costs that scale exponentially (just like in real life)

⬆ PROGRESSION SYSTEM

Once you've proven yourself, you can “Advance”: reset your run while keeping your permanent abilities and earning Prestige Points that boost your performance in every new game. How many times can you reinvent yourself within the same system?

🧠 SKILL TREE

25 skills spread across 5 branches that transform the way you play. Do you prefer raw speed, maximum rewards, or total control over your workday?

Omega Protocol Branch: secret and absurd mechanics

Workday Management Branch: master the daily card system

👔 YOUR BOSS CALLS YOU

Throughout your career, you’ll receive calls from your boss at pivotal moments. Each conversation reveals a little more of the absurd corporate machinery you’re trapped in.
