Why it matters

The horror comes from office labor rather than a monster: the game makes the player perform spreadsheet tallies, ad revisions, emails, and printing before the empty building starts making noise, so the scare sits inside the overtime itself.

Key Facts

  • RAYBIS GAMES announced Mandatory Overtime on November 9 and opened the game's Steam store page.
  • Mandatory Overtime is a first-person psychological horror game set in a Japanese black company.

The first-person psychological horror game casts the player as a new hire at a small Japanese advertising and printing company who is ordered to work overtime on the first day. Alone in the late-night office, the player hears noises from an empty meeting room, answers a suddenly ringing phone, and receives suspicious messages. The PC (Steam) release date is undecided.

The tasks are the mechanic, not the backdrop. Players operate office computers to tally sales in spreadsheet software, revise advertisements, compose emails, and print documents, and the announcement describes the stress and anxiety of the workplace as something that gradually corners the player. The overtime order arrives before any supernatural event: the boss keeps the new hire past the regular finishing time, the senior employees go home, and the player is left alone at night. Only then do the noises, the ringing phone, and the suspicious messages begin. RAYBIS GAMES has not set a release date.
