Good morning!

Clock into work and make friends around the office in this small-scale game about ordinary people in an ordinary place.

Listening to the soundtrack before playing the game is recommended.

I had a blast with this game! I loved the slow build up with only noticing small details changing before throwing you into the weirdness! 

Is this one of those games that turns into a horror game half way through, like Doki Doki or whatnot? I really cannot stand horror, so I'd like to know in advance.

Hello! There are locations that may make players feel uneasy but there are no scares or explicitly creepy/disturbing imagery. It's an atmospheric piece, and sometimes that atmosphere is "dread," but it's never "scary." That was never our intention, at least.

I found a bug, when pressing escape on a scene transition the game freezes up

Thanks for reporting this! We've patched it in V2.
