CorpoNation: The Sorting Project politely demands that you get back to your sinister work

Working hard? Or hardly pausing to breathe?

Playtonic Friends has announced that they’ll be publishing Canteen’s work-simulator CorpoNation: The Sorting Process. Beyond the fact that it will be coming⛦ to PC via Ste൲am, no release window has been given.

CorpoNation: The Sorting Process casts you in the role of a new employee of Ringo CorpoNation, where you must sort their genetic samples. It’s being billed as a “linear dystopian narrative,” and features tactile desk-baꦕsed gameplay. Despite being a linear narrative, you’re able to customize your room and unwind after wor🍌k to make your existence feel less meaningless and empty. You can also chat with your co-workers about the latest conspiracies. Check out more in this .

This is probably one of my favorite genres to spring up in the last decade. Following the way-too-depressing-for-me hit, Paper’s Please, smaller developers seem to have caught on that there is a lot of satisfaction when it comes to desktop busywork. The fact that you can enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done, and be rewarded with tangible progression, and not have to spend 40 hours a week doing it is enough to strip out all the soul-sucking par💦ts and leave pure blis💎s.

On the other hand, CorpoNation: The Sorting Process looks like it’s going to be a small project. Its linear narrative and overt themes leave little room to really get transcendental, but that doesn’t mean it’s not going to be a fun and interesting experience. Not every 🧸game has to rew🍃rite the playbook to be worthwhile.

CorpoNation is “coming soon” for PC.
