MINISTRY OF INCOMING AND OUTGOING

Order No. 1 "On the Approval of This Page"

Congratulations! Your application for the position of Junior Clerk has been reviewed, approved, stamped, re-stamped and filed under "Later". Please report to your desk. The desk is the whole game.

YOUR DUTIES

• Stamp documents. Then stamp more documents. Nobody reads them. Reading is a different department.

• Keep up the pace: the faster you stamp, the more the State values you (up to +50%, as set out in the regulations).

• Hire interns, couriers and a photocopier. The photocopier will be your most productive employee.

• Answer the phone. Or don't: missed calls carry no penalty, the most generous policy in the Ministry.

• Respond to memos from management. Both answers are correct. That is how you know they are official.

• Look busy when the Boss walks in.

THIS DEMO INCLUDES

• Applications, complaints and tax returns, plus special papers worth far more than they should be.

• Eight upgrades for your stamp and your passive income.

• A desk that lives its own life: calls, memos, paper planes and the Boss.

• Rare documents for the Registry, the Ministry's official album of absurdity.

• Your first promotion in about half an hour. After that, you may keep working forever. Just like a real job.

• Rumour has it that some employees manage to leave the Ministry before their first working day ends. HR asks you not to ask how.

THE FULL CAREER INCLUDES

• Promotions: eight ranks from Intern to Minister.

• Layoffs: reform the whole department and start over, a little wiser.

• A story with decisions you will have to sign, and eight endings.

• The Audit, a roguelike inspection mode.

• Possibly, temporal anomalies. The Ministry neither confirms nor denies.

Languages: English, Russian. Controls: mouse, keyboard (Space to stamp) or gamepad.
