## What is Severance?

Welcome to your workstation. Your job is simple: refine the macrodata.

A retro-CRT terminal puzzle game inspired by corporate office mystery. Stare
into the green-on-black screen, scan the field of drifting numbers, and find
the ones that make you feel something. Box the "scary" clusters into the five
bins below — and watch your completion percentage climb toward 100%.

THE WORK
• Scan a living grid of numbers on an authentic vintage terminal.
• Select the unsettling number clusters and sort them into bins.
• Complete each file to fill the progress meter.
• Beat the clock — your best refinement time is recorded for every file.

CONTENT
• 5 starter files included, free.
• Expansion Pack 1: files 06-20 plus an endless Infinite mode.
• Expansion Pack 2: files 21-40 for the dedicated refiner.
• 40 numbered files in total, plus the never-ending MDR-∞.

ATMOSPHERE
• Faithful CRT look: scan lines, flicker, glitch and phosphor glow.
• Ambient hum, terminal blips and tactile haptic feedback.
• Department archive with your personal performance records and rankings.
• A mysterious corporate world that takes itself very, very seriously.

PERFORMANCE TRACKING
• Every refined file logs your best time.
• Climb the internal leaderboard in the Department archive.
• Chase a perfect run across all 40 files.

No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Just you and the numbers.

The work is mysterious and important.
Please enjoy each file equally.
