Keep signing. Don't ask what you're signing away.

You're a clerk at a desk that never stops filling up. Papers land in heaps, your pens break mid-signature, and the coworker across the desk keeps reaching over to make things worse. Sign fast, sign right, and don't let the pile bury you.

How to play

  • Grab a tool from the Resource Box and sign each paper with your own signature. Finished papers fly to the Outbox.
  • Read before you sign. VOID papers are traps, overdue papers cost you, and every shift a new Rule Card changes what's allowed.
  • Drag mistakes into the Bin, and empty it before it overflows.
  • Don't let the Pile-Up meter reach 100%. That's the end of your career.

Controls

  • Left mouse: drag papers and tools, draw signatures, slap hands, click the Resource Box
  • Right mouse : look up at your coworker
  • Space: calm your coworker while looking up
  • Mouse wheel / Q / E: rotate the paper you're holding
  • Hold-click the Bin: empty it

Your coworkers

  • Gary the Klepto steals your pens and papers. Slap his hand, or pin papers with a paperweight.
  • Ms. Vex, the boss, drums the desk until everything drifts, then slams RUSH papers on your pile.
  • Pip the Gossip sticks notes over your paperwork and won't stop asking questions.
  • Dolores the Clumsy spills coffee on everything. Get a coaster. Please.

The paperwork

  • Standard, Checklist and Triplicate forms, plus RUSH papers with a countdown
  • VOID traps and blue "office copy" stamps that the Rule Card may forbid
  • Ten tools, from a reliable pen to a feather that needs ink, a carrot that doubles your points and a fork that rips paper

Main menu

  • Play: first draw your own signature, then take your seat at the desk.
  • How to play: a 15-page guide covering the basics, each paper type (Standard, Checklist, Triplicate, Notarized), special marks, tools, counter items, every coworker, the Rule Card, and the Pile-Up, Bin and score.
  • Options: volume.
  • Credits: who made what.

Tips

  • Watch for the shadow: it shows where the next hand will land.
  • Combos grow with every paper signed in a row, up to 2x. Binning any paper resets it.
  • Clearing the desk to two papers gives a Clean Desk bonus of +500.
  • Read the Rule Card every shift. Breaking it costs Pile-Up and resets your combo.
  • VOID papers go in the Bin, not the Outbox. Signing one costs 6 Pile-Up.
  • Hold-click the Bin for 2 seconds to empty it. It leaks Pile-Up once it overflows.
  • Notarized papers need a stamp: ink the Rubber Stamp on the Ink Pad first.
  • Drop a Coin to distract Gary, use a Coaster against Dolores, and Earplugs against Pip.
  • Keep a backup pen. Shaking tools are about to break, so finish the stroke.
  • Peel the sticky notes in the main menu for more tips.
