Corporate Welcome Simulation v1.0.1 (Beta)
Added 2025-06-17 23:46:14 +0000 UTCWednesday? Let’s pretend.
You find yourself in what once resembled a staff room. Now it’s more like the fossilised memory of one. Beige walls. Beige tiles. Beige morale. Everything smells faintly like toner and someone’s forgotten lunch.
Above, a flickering strip light buzzes with all the enthusiasm of a trapped wasp. The noise is indistinguishable from the one in your own head. You’re not sure which came first.
You don’t recall applying for this job, arriving at this building, or signing whatever form landed you here. But here you are , freshly laminated name-tag dangling from a vinegar-scented lanyard, as if that might tether you to some version of reality.
At the centre of the room: a plastic tray loaded with biscuits. Lovingly arranged, in the same way a crime scene might be. Digestives. Bourbons. Something disturbingly pink. Someone made a choice. Possibly several poor ones.
To the west: a door labelled Orientation Chamber A. Slightly open. There’s a sound. It might be a PowerPoint slide transition. Or a cry for help in .wav format.
To the east: a window, streaked with fingerprints and the word “HELP” scrawled backwards in... something. You hope it’s ketchup. You suspect it isn’t.
To the north: a sign that reads, Biscuits first. Always. It feels more like a warning than a suggestion.
What now, recruit?

I know better than to ignore a message about biscuits from our dearest overlord
