01 / THE JOB DESCRIPTION

A simple job.
A terrible time
to be human.

It’s 2026. The office runs on a computer from 2004. Half the applicants sound like a chatbot. Your manager would like you to “use AI more.”

You have a queue to clear, a quota to hit, and a salary that gets smaller every time you’re wrong.

FAIL TO KEEP UP?
Your replacement doesn’t take lunch.

    Read between the buzzwords.

    Match real skills, salary and experience to a new hiring brief each shift.

  3. 03

Check the facts. Then make your call.

04 / THE FINE PRINT

Questions for HR?

We’ve automated most of the answers.

Wait. My job is to… do a job?

A fictional, deeply questionable one. You're a recruiter at Futureproof Inc. Read résumés, check records, interview applicants, and sort them into four trays. Correct calls earn money. Bad calls come out of your pay. Too slow or too inaccurate, and an AI takes over.

How long is a shift?

You have up to eight real minutes per shift. Interviews, checks, and coffee breaks use extra shift time. A working week has five shifts, with a tougher quota each day. The pause button is one employee benefit management hasn't removed.

Do I need an account or a download?

Neither. Open the game in your browser and press the monitor's power button to clock in. Sound is optional, and you can turn it on from the game controls.

Will my progress be saved?

Your working week and AI credits save in this browser on this device. Come back to the same browser to continue. Clearing your browser's site data also clears your save.

Can I play on my phone?

The paperwork is best enjoyed on a desktop or laptop with a mouse and keyboard. The game also supports wide landscape screens. This page works on a phone; your tiny virtual office needs a little more room.

YOUR FIRST APPLICANT IS WAITING.

Your job is to
keep your job.

Clock in. Stay human.

FIVE SHIFTS. FOUR TRAYS. NO GUARANTEES.
