RPG by Studio “Ofizdat!”
You came for a job interview. The corporate organism decided to eat you.
The doors are locked. The HR officer has stopped pretending to be human. All you have are the contents of your pockets, the other applicants, and an old freight elevator with a diesel generator.
You need to escape the Office. That means leaving the Elevator, exploring the floors, scavenging equipment, and dealing with management. Every department has its own rules, its own inhabitants, and its own ways to ruin your life. Sales makes you stick to the script. The warehouse may hold a copy of you. Best not to eat anything in the cafeteria.
The Elevator is your shared base. Install a workbench, stockpile fuel, haul in useful equipment. As long as the generator keeps running, you can catch your breath and tend to your wounds.
Your characters will change, too. Failed rolls build up Office Madness, while Office Mutations grant abilities that help you survive. You might learn to walk through walls or command Paperclip Roaches. You might grow extra teeth. Career development looks different for everyone.
