Every customer swears their paperwork is fine. Your job: catch the fakes. You're the new agent at a sketchy title-loan shop in 2016. Spot what's expired, forged or padded, then approve or decline. Between customers, slack off on a retro office PC. A cozy, dryly funny pixel-art desk job. SURVIVE YOUR FIRST 14 DAYS Your first 14 days are Probation. Pass it and you're hired. New rules arrive every day or two, so yesterday's easy yes can be today's no. PICK A SIDE Once you're hired, Career runs from October to the Year-End Review on December 23. A big chain wants to buy the shop. There are three endings to find, and how your year ends is up to you. HOLIDAYS AT THE OFFICE Career runs right through the season: a jack-o'-lantern on Halloween, a Thanksgiving potluck, a flood of Black Friday spam and a festive December. TAKE THE ENVELOPE? In Career, some customers slide cash across the desk. Take it and you can't decline them. Leave it, decline them properly, and earn a small honesty bonus. SLACK OFF ON THE OFFICE PC Between customers, read your coworkers' e-mail drama, play little retro games like Snake, shop for clothes and office decor, and snoop through files you probably shouldn't open. CHECK THE PARKING LOT Buy security cameras and check the car outside against the title: a caught mismatch pays double. WORK A HALLOWEEN NIGHT SHIFT Fright Night Files is a five-night Halloween shift with its own spooky customers. It's open all year, though October is its season. KEEP THE LITTLE THINGS The Scrapbook collects keepsakes, stickers and photos from your shifts. Look back over past calls in your Case Files, decorate your office, and dress your agent with what you earn. PLAYING SINCE 1.x? Your progress, purchases and Scrapbook come with you. A run in progress starts fresh, and Career replaces Endless Shift. Spot a translation that reads wrong? Tap Contact & Feedback in Options and tell us on Discord.
