The Story
Midnight is near. A terrified woman, hidden behind a desk, tries to hold her quickened breath. Her sweaty hands on the edge of the desk, she anxiously peeks from behind it. The room is lit solely by a few fluorescent lamps, therefore she cannot see the secrets hidden in the shadows. He could be anywhere.
Suddenly, she freezes, hearing a sound behind her. Now she knows that he has found her and that there is no escape. Slowly, she turns around, one tear falling down her trembling cheek, and she waits for the inevitable.
– Miss Halina – Senior High Lead Team Management Specialist says to her. – Where is today’s report?
The Game
Working at a large corporation can be a real nightmare. Well, unless you’re the boss. Now this opportunity stands before you! Take on the role of a supervisor in a big company and fulfill the most fundamental task of someone in your position – finish off your employees. Literally. Very literally.
Our Mission
We want you to have fun playing our game, to have a good laugh with us at the absurdities this game portrays. The goal of the game, however, is to draw attention to abuse at a workplace – a problem rather serious and yet rarely discussed.
The exploitation and humiliation of workers is becoming a norm in many companies. Many people seem to forget the most important things in life in their pursuit of career and moneymaking.
We hope that Office Suicide Saga will draw attention of a wider public to these problems through this caricature.
We touched on a lot of important subjects and we feel there is still a lot to say, so we are going to continuously expand the game. We try to bring attention to common health & safety issues, exploitation of immigrant workforce, unethical offshore practices, inequality at the workplace and everyday workers abuse.
At this point, however, we need to ask for your help. If you believe that working for 3 days without sleep, month after month (a true case!) is not right, if you believe that women are just as good employees as men and if you believe that there are things far more important than getting rich - every dollar you can spend and every share of the campaign will be a small step, helping our common endeavor.

The open beta started this year, on May 4th. Until now, we were funding the project ourselves, but at this point your help became crucial for the further development of the game. We are sincerely grateful for any kind of your support!
