Welcome to the Karoshi Club

About

Welcome to the Karoshi Club is a Japanese-inspired visual novel that turns job-hunting into a tense, choice-driven survival game. You play as Kenji Haishima, a former game dev navigating the brutal grind of landing a sales job. Every interaction from resume tweaks to interview answers shapes the story, with branching paths that lead to grim or hopeful outcomes. The tone swings between dark humor and outright horror as corporate absurdity bleeds into body horror tropes. The game stands out for its niche blend of business-world satire and body恐怖 elements. Released late last year on PC, it’s carved a niche audience drawn to its bleakly funny take on workplace culture. While short on combat, it leans hard into psychological tension and moral dilemmas. The art style mixes neon-soaked anime aesthetics with unsettling distortions during key moments. Best approached with a taste for ironic horror and a willingness to question HR practices.
