Do Not Merge
A short workplace-horror visual novel. You play as John, a fresh grad on his first day in IT ops. The office looks completely normal—your predecessor’s ThinkPad does not. Read the notes, analyze the logs, and decide who to trust. It all ends today.

About This Game

You are John. Your first job after graduation: working at a run-down logistics office in Seattle, maintaining a legacy inventory database.

The office is a maze of plain beige cubicles under fluorescent lights that never stop humming. There is no welcome party, no HR checking in on you, and your predecessor allegedly "left" just yesterday.

A yellow sticky note rests on the monitor bezel, while green command-line text flickers on screen. Some commands must never be executed, and certain commits must never be merged.

Key Features

  • Inspect Logs & Notes: Piece together the truth from terminal records and cryptic notes left behind.

  • Choices & Trust: Decide who to trust, what to interact with, and when to refrain from looking back.

  • Compact Workplace Horror: A focused, narrative-driven experience designed to be completed within a single shift.

  • Audio & Language: Game text will be available in Chinese and English. No voice acting. English in terminals and logs is part of the setting.

Free to play. Available on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

English — artwork (yes, pre-generated):
Visual art (scene backgrounds, character art, GUI covers, and visual FX) was drafted with generative image models, then human-reviewed, cropped, and accepted into the shipping game. Store capsules and library art produced the same way are included in this disclosure. Unreviewed generator output is not shipped.

English — writing (human, not AI narrative):
All narrative, dialogue, in-game text, and store copy are human-written. This game is not an AI-authored story. Planned English localization is human-translated, not model-generated.

English — audio / runtime (so reviewers do not assume the rest):
Audio is CC0 / public-domain / project-synthesized sound effects. There is no voice acting and no generative AI voice. The game does not call generative models at runtime.
