Questions
Before you clock in.
A narrative role-playing game set in a virtual office. You play a squirrel building a career and a life among colleagues with their own stories — while an AI coach quietly helps you become a sharper communicator along the way.
Not at all. If you've ever had a tricky conversation at work, you already know how to play. The controls are conversation — the depth is in the choices you make.
An AI layer evaluates each thing you say in real time — tone, word choice, pronunciation, intent — and gives you specific, personalized feedback. It adapts to how you communicate, so the coaching gets more useful the more you play.
We're in active development and opening up early access in waves. Join the waitlist and the Discord to be first through the door.
Pricing is still being finalized. Early access players and Discord members will hear the details first — and have a say in shaping them.
We'll announce supported platforms as we get closer to launch. Sign up and you'll know the moment we do.
Fill out the early access form above — it's an invitation to help shape the game, not just a list. We bring people in as we open new desks.
