THE PITCH
Management replaced the whole company with software. Everyone else was "transitioned". You were not on the list. Your weapon is a laptop and your attacks are a script. Hold each floor against robot coworkers, level up, grow your 401(k), and take the elevator to the next one.
- Code your own weapon: your attacks are a script you write, run and rewrite between floors.
- Survive floor after floor of robot coworkers in a dystopian office.
- Level-ups with four rarities, from common to mythic, and paid rerolls.
- A 401(k) with interest, dividends and tax. Cash out when it matters.
- Short runs, built for one more floor.

THE DEVELOPER
Deprecation is made by one person, Tibo, an engineer building it in public. The website you are on is part of the joke: an AI company that replaced its staff, and the one human it legally can't fire. Every step of the game is written down in the devlog.
