Short description
An idle game written in immaculate bureaucratic prose. Stamp matters, staff the counters, file for Reorganization and feed the office horse per Form OH-1. Processing continues in your absence, as required by policy. Inquiries will not be accepted.
Description
Welcome to your first day at the Division of Matter Processing. Matters are to be stamped. The stamp has been issued.
An intern becomes a Division, a Division becomes a Data Center, and a Data Center eventually becomes the Federal Bureau of Interdimensional Affairs. Jurisdiction expands accordingly. Every matter is logged in full, including those received from adjacent realities.
The office horse is in the hallway.
Features
- Ten premises, from the Intern to the Federal Bureau of Interdimensional Affairs
- 69 upgrades, including a second monitor and a fax from an adjacent reality
- Reorganization (Form RO-9): The Agency is dissolved and re-established; your years of service remain on file
- Three career tracks with real trade-offs: Civil Service Track, Customer Service, Digital Modernization Initiative
- A Field Office for Forms Management, which produces the forms required to operate the Field Office
- 141 commendations with case numbers, some of them confidential
- Incidents: grant approvals, audits, unattended binders in the hallway
- A coffee machine operated in accordance with the Coffee SOP
- The Final Disposition in seven determinations, for employees with tenure
- Processing continues while the window is minimized or closed.
- Two complete editions: English in an American agency, German in a German one. Switch in the settings, no restart required.
- Records are retained via Steam Cloud.
- No internet connection, no ads, no in-game purchases. The Agency is funded by matters.
- 3 November 2026Release on Steam (planned)

The code, the English and German texts and the vector graphics were made with a lot of help from AI (Anthropic Claude). The game design decisions and the playtesting are the developer's. Nothing in the game uses AI while you play.
