Demon Corporation: Onboarding

You play as Togawa, a woman driven to the brink by the crushing demands of her employer. On the verge of ending her life, she’s saved by an unexpected savior, a cat, who offers her a mysterious second chance: expose the corrupt company and fight back. Gameplay is divided between two realms: the real world and the midnight world. Together, they represent one full day, and you can choose how much time to spend in each. In the real world, you explore various office floors, gather temporary boost from sparkly spots, and unravel the personal struggles of fellow employees that will earn you permanent boosts. However, this can only be done if you pluck enough hair from other minor characters. These characters regenerate their hair daily, allowing for repeat interactions.

Despite its clear core idea of criticizing toxic corporation culture, it's essentially a nice puzzle game with just the right amount of tutorial, level design and dialogues. It keeps giving me a warm feeling of the old style JRPG that I played in my childhood. Among the heavy AA/AAA games, this is a v. amazing surprise as a light-weighted game that is ready to provide you some straightforward jrpg vibe and puzzle solving.

I'm a huge fan of magic towers and I've played other ones made by chinese developers before, even in Chinese itself using translation apps. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this one as a fan of logic puzzles and magic towers. Maybe it's fine if you focus on the story, but the translation to English is incredibly bad, to the point it's actually disturbing. I wish the dev good luck, but I cannot recommend this game to people potentially interested.

great game, I must JUAN to the end of the existence 100% fun, good critique, the guy who created this is the goat
