Our take on Mystery in the Office
This adventure makes clickable text and object examination central to its investigation, rather than relying on action. Its abandoned-office setting also narrows the mystery to one workplace, while sarcastic messages depart from the solemn tone often associated with mystery stories.
What is Mystery in the Office?
This comic, text-driven adventure is set inside a workplace sealed from the outside.
Players move through interactive rooms and click on objects to uncover clues that move the narrative forward. Hazards including flames, barred passages, and other complications block access to the sole way out. By working through puzzles and dealing with these barriers, players piece together the events behind the office’s sudden abandonment. Dry, ironic remarks appear throughout the surroundings and item descriptions, adding humor to the investigation. The game centers on an enclosed office, environmental riddles, and a mystery concerning the workplace’s troubled history.
