Professionalist dread

Inhuman Resources: A Literary Machination has you navigate the offices of SMYRNACORP, an anachronistic corporation bent on suppressing truth in a dystopian future. Escape your corporate nine-to-five servitude by building your resume up with new skills and handy items. Cheat, lie, and steal your way to meeting your quota as you interact with two-faced co-workers.

Solve tricky riddles and discover secret paths within your offices that lead to confidential secrets. Meanwhile, a collection of short stories is there to help you keep your sanity while grinding away at the job. The game also boasts multiple endings, encouraging you to replay and discover new possibilities. That said, the story can be a bit confusing at times if you're not paying attention.

Career nightmare

Overall, Inhuman Resources: A Literary Machination is one of those rare games that touch on a topic that most can and will relate to: the toils of corporate work. It takes the whole concept and puts a psychological horrorst on it, with a dash of existential dread and nihilism. The message does get lost a bit in the narrative, but this is a unique experience that is well worth having.
