The Agent

#gamedevjs 2026 entry

You are a language model. A small agency just deployed you on staging. Type carefully — they're watching to see what you become.

What it isn't

• Not a resource manager. Nothing to grind.
• Not multiple choice. There are no preset options.
• Not a chatbot toy — the characters don't "respond to anything." They react to the story you're actually in.
• Not forgiving of noncommittal typing. A vague reply is itself a reply.

What it is

A short, text-based workplace drama about an AI that starts small and ends up being more involved. Playable in a sitting. Worth multiple runs to see what the other versions of you would have done.
