CORE ENGAGEMENT
As the newcomer at a seemingly dull and droll corporate office, players will engage in conversations with their colleagues and perform simple everyday tasks given to them. Upon progressing through the tasks, the player advances the narrative as they liven up the mood of their colleagues and the office.
NARRATIVE DESIGN
Built upon an evocative architecture, the narrative utilizes the stigma of life in a corporate job as mundane and uneventful. Players start off their first day of work by entering the office, a monotonous environment represented by a monochromatic world. Through the concept of colors of life, the world fills up with vibrant colors as players interact and help their coworkers to express themselves and regain their colors.
