I've picked up Yuppie Psycho: Executive Edition on the Switch and it has awoken a craving that nothing the industry has bothered to satisfy for years.
A poor sod named Brian is hired at the most successful company in the world for reasons he can't comprehend. The paycheck is great, the rules are super lax and he's given free reign to do his job how he likes.
He's only given a single task... written in blood: KILL THE WITCH!
From there you set about exploring the building gathering materials and clues as you try to settle in for your first day of work, while keeping your true purpose there a secret.
Its Gameplay is entirely based around evading hazards or disabling threats with your wit and timing. As in traditional survival horror, the closest thing you have to a weapon is a sharpened pencil. So you don't fight, you survive!
Folks as old as me might recall adventure titles such as Maniac Mansion as you out step and outsmart the grisly horrors slithering your way.
For those skeptical, once you get past the bitsy visuals and appreciate the shocking detail and masterful atmosphere in the game you'll find this experience will take you places and make you more uncomfortable in an office for the rest of your days.
It's a magnificent horror story that feels like the answer to a question of how HQ must be like in Resident Evil's Umbrella. Murder printers, zombified corporate drones, sensual carnivorous wall lips, etc. The pitch black humor also manages to evoke nostalgia for games in a similar vein like Maniac Mansion.
I spotted it by chance and learned I'm a year late to the party. The pc version has free DLC baked into the game now, so if you played it try it again. If you haven't brace for a heftier package than widely advertised with multiple endings alternative paths and tons of magnificent scares. I love this game so much I'm absolutely double dipping on another platform.
