This indie dev is making a Severance-inspired incremental game - Stamp papers and get paid for it - Buy better tools to stamp faster - Spend the money on leaving your desk Game is Trust The System

"Trust the System is an intriguing incremental game where you mindlessly stamp papers. Again and again. Until you decide it is time for you to explore the System's restricted corridors." this looks super interesting! Check it out here Dev @tabouret_dev

Fact: The original “Severance” concept was a corporate training simulation, not a show. This game just gamifies that drudgery—stop glorifying the grind lol

Papers Please on steroids? 🛃

Finally, a game that lets me simulate the agonizing dread of my actual day job so I can escape the agonizing dread of my actual day job.

A game about stamping papers until you can afford to stop stamping papers. That loop is dangerously familiar.

Does the stamping stop when you leave the desk, or do your upgrades keep earning while you explore the corridors?

@xeokeri maybe you will like this

This is such a sharp Severance twist on the incremental loop. The tiny promotion ladder sounds funny at first, then the goal of saving up to leave the desk makes it quietly unsettling.

Leaving the desk as the real upgrade is a sharp inversion. Most incremental games make optimization the win; this one treats it as the trap you have to walk away from.

stamping papers to buy a better stamp is basically my google play console this week. what happens if you stamp the wrong one?

I spent a week stamping forms for a temp gig—felt like a real‑life incremental grind, but the “payoff” was just coffee. Not sure this is progress!
