🖥️ Welcome to Schrödinger's Employment

Type fast. Look busy. Shoot the virus. Don't get fired.

Welcome to your new desktop! You have successfully survived our grueling interview process, but your employment is strictly probationary.

In this chaotic corporate simulator, you must balance a crushing workload while navigating a highly "dynamic" work environment. Type out endless reports, calculate spreadsheets, respond to needy coworkers, maintain eye contact with your boss on Zoom, and purge literal computer viruses from your system.

Keep an eye on the clock and your Tracker App. If you fail a task, ignore a chat, or let a virus explode, you will receive a Strike. 3 Strikes and your contract is immediately terminated.

🕒 Theme Interpretation: "Under Pressure"

We interpreted the theme "Under Pressure" not just as a ticking clock, but as overwhelming cognitive load and context-switching.

The true pressure in this game comes from having your attention pulled in five different directions at once. It’s the sheer panic of trying to mash your keyboard to finish a 500-word report, only to be interrupted by a 12-second urgent chat from a coworker, while your boss's anger meter rises on Zoom and a virus pop-up threatens to lock your screen. It is the ultimate simulation of a high-stress, toxic corporate workday.


🎮 Controls & How to Play

The game strictly mimics a retro OS environment.

  • Mouse (Left Click): Interact with UI, drag windows, open apps, and reply to chats.
  • Mouse (Right Click): Cancel Aim mode in the Antivirus app.
  • Keyboard (Any Key): Mash aggressively to type out documents in the Word app.
  • Keyboard (Numpad/Numbers): Enter calculations for the Excel app.

Survival Tips for Day 1:

  1. Prioritize: Some chats have very short timers. Drop everything when you hear the notification ping!
  2. Aim Carefully: Your Antivirus acts like a desktop shooter. You only have 8 bullets before you need a 3-second reload.
  3. Keep Zoom Visible: Do not bury the Zoom meeting under other windows for too long, or the boss will notice.
