Inhuman Resources: The Interactive Corporate Thriller Redefining Narrative Gaming

What if your following job interview led to something far darker than office politics and tight deadlines?

Inhuman Resources: A Literary Machination, from developer Finnegan Motors and collective publisher Indie Asylum, is not your average workplace simulator. This upcoming interactive narrative thriller plunges players into the sinister depths of SMYRNACORP—a cold, corporate labyrinth where nothing is as it seems and survival means more than staying employed.

Crafted for seasoned gamers and curious readers, Inhuman Resources blurs the line between visual novel and strategy-driven mystery, all delivered through a refreshingly intuitive interface. Whether you're a thriller enthusiast or a digital detective, this title asks one burning question:

Can you survive the workday when your job is uncovering corporate evil?

Welcome to SMYRNACORP: Where HR Means “High Risk”

Your adventure begins like any ordinary first day at work. A suspiciously friendly onboarding session. Blank office walls. Smiling employees with dead eyes. But something is off. SMYRNACORP, while outwardly a human resources consulting firm, hides something far more grotesque within its concrete corridors and coded emails.

Players quickly find themselves navigating a non-linear narrative filled with riddles, ethical dilemmas, surveillance systems, and a growing sense of dread. You’re not here to manage employee morale—you’re here to uncover horrifying truths, manipulate your environment, and hopefully, escape with your soul intact.

Core Features:

  • Branching Storylines, Infinite Outcomes: Your choices matter—not just in one decision, but as part of an ever-expanding web of consequences. Align with disturbed coworkers or outmaneuver sociopathic managers. Every action alters your path.
  • Skill-Based Progression: Shape your employee persona by increasing specific abilities and discovering hidden items. The smarter you play, the deeper into SMYRNACORP’s secrets you can dive.
  • Uncover the Truth: Alter video files. Crack codes. Hack company systems. Distort facts. No tactic is off-limits when corporate corruption runs this deep.
  • Elegant Accessibility: Designed with simplicity in mind, Inhuman Resources requires only two fingers to play, making it approachable for casual readers and mobile users alike. No twitch reflexes are needed—just sharp wits and colder instincts.
  • Fully Localized (EN/FR): Whether you’re reading in English or French, the dark satire and sharp storytelling come through with immersive localization.
  • Bonus: Read the World: Dive deeper into the dystopian narrative through a library of short stories penned by celebrated Canadian authors—each adding layers of depth to the twisted universe you now inhabit.

Literature Meets Gaming: A Truly Unique Blend

What truly sets Inhuman Resources apart is its commitment to being both a readable game and a playable book. It doesn't demand gaming literacy—it invites storytelling fans into its fold. If you can read, you can play. If you enjoy games, you'll thrive.

As decisions branch and compound, players shape a story that’s wholly their own. The mechanics are seamlessly woven into the narrative, never breaking immersion. This is interactive fiction that evolved—layered, unpredictable, and unflinchingly dark.

A Deep Dive into Office Dread: What Would You Do?

  • Would you dig into your coworker’s files if it meant exposing a conspiracy?
  • Could you twist the truth and manipulate surveillance to stay ahead of HR’s watchful gaze?
  • Are you prepared to make moral compromises to uncover the truth?
  • How far would you go to escape an all-consuming corporate machine?

Coming Soon to PC and Mobile
