❤ Balancing Time and Resources

As a newly-hired intern in the ministry, you must carefully manage your daily schedule to advance your career and uncover the truth behind your father's mysterious death. Each task, interaction, or investigation consumes a portion of your available "time", which replenishes at the start of each workday. You'll need to prioritize activities, deciding whether to focus on career advancement, personal investigations, or assisting (or sabotaging) your co-workers.

❤ Navigating Bureaucratic Minigames

A significant portion of the gameplay involves completing various administrative tasks and "desk jobs" assigned to you. These range from processing forms, stamping documents, and organizing files to more complex simulations like assembling clones or debugging computer systems. While initially mundane, these minigames become increasingly intricate as you progress to higher floors of the ministry. Mastering these mechanics is crucial to earning the resources and authority necessary to pursue the game's narrative objectives.

❤ Shaping Interpersonal Relationships

A core aspect of the experience is your ability to build relationships with, or undermine, your co-workers within the ministry. You can choose to befriend, blackmail, or betray your colleagues in order to gain advantages, access sensitive information, or remove obstacles to your advancement. This web of personal and professional alliances (or enmities) shapes the narrative paths available to you and can lead to dramatically divergent outcomes.

❤ Navigating Moral Choices

The game presents you with a wide array of moral choices that can significantly impact the trajectory of the story. From small decisions like helping a co-worker or reporting them for misconduct, to larger choices like exposing government corruption or collaborating with the regime, the game does not shy away from depicting the severe consequences of your actions. This emphasis on player agency and the weight of your choices lends a sense of gravity and urgency to your decision-making.
