If you’ve ever felt like your office job was slowly devouring your soul… you might be onto something. Inhuman Resources: A Literary Machination is the upcoming narrative adventure from developer Finnegan Motors and the always-intriguing Indie Asylum. It throws players into the fluorescent-lit jaws of SMYRNACORP, a seemingly mundane human resources firm with a very sinister secret.
On the surface, your new job seems like a standard HR gig. But the deeper you dig, the clearer it becomes—SMYRNACORP’s upper management isn’t just interested in recruitment metrics. They’re running something darker. Much darker.
A Branching Nightmare You Control
What sets Inhuman Resources apart is its sprawling, branching narrative. Every decision you make—who you trust, what evidence you hide or expose, how you manipulate the system—shapes your journey and unlocks new skills for your character. Hidden items grant access to alternate paths, revealing even more twisted layers of the story. It’s a true choose-your-own-nightmare, where every thread you pull could unravel the truth—or your sanity.
Puzzles, Paranoia, and Paperwork
To uncover what SMYRNACORP is really up to, you’ll need to solve riddles, alter surveillance footage, hack into coworkers’ computers, and crack encrypted files. It’s corporate espionage meets literary thriller, all wrapped in a stylish, offbeat presentation.
And yes, your coworkers? They’re as strange as they come. Expect to befriend the deranged, outwit the tyrannical, and uncover more than a few skeletons (literally?) in the office closet.
Key Features:
- Non-linear storytelling with branching paths, multiple endings, and wild narrative twists.
- Puzzle-driven gameplay where hacking, decoding, and deception are part of the job description.
- Original short stories penned by a team of Canadian authors, building a deeper world around SMYRNACORP’s secrets.
- Accessible controls—playable with just two fingers on PC or mobile. No quick-time events or controller acrobatics required.
- Full English and French localization.
Whether you’re a seasoned gamer or just someone who loves a good mystery novel, Inhuman Resources is designed for you. It’s a playable book. A readable game. And it wants you to question everything about the workplace.
