About This Demo

Welcome to the Laboratory! You're on the team :)

You're a new probationary (temporary) hire for the new science lab in your area: Argot's Laboratory! This lab might look old, and it is...but that doesn't stop a lot of great science from taking place inside of these walls. You'll aim to work on a prestigious new project, straight from the government itself. Keep your head down, focus on the work, don't question your manager, and if everything goes smoothly–you'll be looking at a cushy science department position in a mere 28 days!
