Demo Update: Make the Office Your Own
This update expands the demo's company management and gives you more control over your office, your team, and your workday.
Please start a new game for this update. Office construction uses a new save format.
Build your office
- Added Office Setup: move and rotate workstations, arrange equipment, add cubicle walls, and customize desks and computers.
- Browse furniture, preview purchases, assign employees to desks, and store or sell eligible items. Undo, Redo, Apply, and Cancel let you plan changes before committing them.
- Office layouts check access to desks and essential facilities before applying changes.
- Decorate the office and kitchen with lounge furniture and individual plants. Coffee-machine and mug-shelf upgrades install in their dedicated kitchen positions.
- Added a reminder after your first hire showing how to return to office customization.
Your company and team
- Company levels now automatically unlock capabilities, replacing capability-point purchases. Equipment purchases use credits.
- Added distinct, persistent appearances for support employees, with varied clothing, hair, headsets, and accessories.
A clearer workday
- Growth, HR, and Void Supply are now introduced across several mornings as you reach their prerequisites, keeping the opening workday more focused.
- Added optional Extra Work during Regular Work assignments, trading additional progress for increased stress.
- Added optional personal story requests and clearer investigation results.
- Returning to your computer now waits for you to select Continue Work. Stop Working or Esc lets you leave the work session.
- Added How to Play to the pause menu so you can revisit the main controls and workday guidance.
- Rhythm instructions now show your current key bindings.
- Losing application focus pauses gameplay, audio, and urgent countdowns until you resume. System Lock also handles interrupted holds more safely.
- Improved onboarding, objective feedback, office interactions, staff seating, and movement around furniture.
Settings and polish
- Added Standard, Low, and Custom graphics settings, with controls for shadows, effects, and 3D render scale.
- Improved interface scaling and display behavior across resolutions, and capped the main menu at 60 FPS unless you choose a lower limit.
- Added Streamer Mode to mute music while retaining sound effects and voices.
- Updated Russian, Japanese, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese text, including help, Options, and office customization.
- Improved visual effects, interface feedback, character animations, and scene-transition cleanup.
Thanks for playing and sharing your feedback. We look forward to seeing how you arrange your office!
