About This Game

Your nightmares are hiring.

You're unemployed. You fall asleep in your old bunk bed at Mom's house... and wake up in The Endless Office: a liminal maze of mint-green corridors, buzzing ceiling lights and far too many clocks.

Somewhere in there, a giant Job Application is looking for you. It has no face. It doesn't need one. It just wants to know where you see yourself in five years.

A goofy co-op chase for 1-4 players. Weird, bright and only a little bit scary.

RUN. WORK. CLOCK OUT.

  • Do the job. Every zone comes with a to-do list of ridiculous, hands-on tasks: water the sad plant, stamp form A-38 three times, kick the broken vending machine, wake up the sleeping clerk, microwave Dave's lunch.
  • Open the next wing. Finish a zone and a giant shutter rolls up: the Office, the Unemployment Bureau, the Job Fair Mall, the Career Ladder Construction Site. The layout is new every night.
  • Catch the elevator. Clear the last zone and race to the exit elevator. Someone has to press the button. Someone might get left behind.

THE APPLICATION IS HIRING

It patrols the halls and listens for running feet. When it spots you, it stops, shrieks and charges. It slips under closed doors like a letter, folds into a paper plane, crumples into a ball and rolls after you, or waits on the wall pretending to be a poster.

Paper has weaknesses, though. Soak it with coffee or a water gun, staple it to the floor, blow it away with a leaf blower, trip it with a banana peel or lure it into an industrial shredder.

CAUGHT? HR WILL SEE YOU NOW.

Get caught and the Application sticks to your face. Then HR grabs a pen and decides your fate:

  • HIRED: you're stuck at a desk with a tie on. Watch the CCTV, call your team on the desk phone and wait for a friend to spill coffee on your keyboard so the Boss fires you. Or stamp your own resignation, one form at a time.
  • INTERVIEW: give the worst answers you can and get rejected. "What's your greatest weakness?" "I steal staplers."
  • INTERN: a giant coffee is glued to your hands. Deliver it to the Boss.
  • MANDATORY MEETING: sit through Q3 SYNERGY. This meeting could have been an email.

FRIENDSHIP IS A RENEWABLE RESOURCE

Slap and shove your friends. Drop a banana peel in their path, cover their screen in sticky notes, or tape a Letter of Recommendation to their back so the Application spots them first. Then save them with a Pink Slip, because you're a team player.

Vanish in a cloud of fire extinguisher smoke, or put on a necktie so the Application thinks you already work here.

BACK AT MOM'S HOUSE

Before bed, spend the shared team wallet at Mom's vending machine (Mom says: no five bananas), dress up at the mirror and pet the cat. When the night is over, find out who takes home Most Hired, Office Traitor, Coffee Addict and Elevator Dictator at the award ceremony.
