LinkedOut

About

In LinkedOut, you play as an HR employee at a cutthroat company that values chaos over competence. Your job is to hire or fire workers based on your boss's ever-changing demands, which shift from "prioritize creativity" to "fire everyone with vowels" in an instant. The gameplay blends quick puzzle-solving with absurd decision-making, as you sort candidates through a minimalist interface. Each choice feels like a gamble, what impresses one day backfires the next. The game leans into its satirical premise with sharp humor and a bite-sized format. Released in May 2025, it runs on PC, Linux, web, and even Game Boy Color, making its scathing critique of corporate nonsense oddly portable. Players will likely appreciate how it turns workplace frustration into a surreal, fast-paced mechanic. Its roots in a capitalism-themed game jam show in every illogical promotion and arbitrary layoff.
