Congratulations, Candidate. You have been selected for the Ascension Process at Spire Corporation. C.A.G.E. is a first-person narrative adventure where your choices matter. You are tasked with a simple delivery – what could possibly go wrong? Follow the guidance of C.A.G.E. (Centralized Ascension Guidance Engine), avoid Non-Standard Behavioral Events, move up the Spire corporate ladder and everything will be just fine. YOUR SHIFT INCLUDES: Vertical Mobility: Navigate your way from the opulent Lobby, through sterile hallways and neon-lit offices, to the high-altitude Executive Suites. Note: Windows are a luxury reserved only for our most efficient assets. The Guidance of C.A.G.E.: Your AI manager is more than an elevator operator. He monitors your productivity, manages your 15-second breaks, and ensures any "visual bugs" or "reality decay" you experience are properly explained away as experimental corporate features. Do not question the experimental camouflage. Or the bees. Certified Problem Solving: Utilize approved Spire tools (such as the standard-issue Omniwrench) to resolve localized environmental tasks. Do not stray from the given instructions. Contraband Management: Some candidates report finding comfort in unauthorized bio-matter (e.g., a potted cactus). Spire mandates the immediate incineration of all unapproved flora. Keeping it is a violation of company policy and alters your career trajectory. Absolute Transparency: At Spire Corp, nothing is hidden. Every step you take is data. Every task you complete is a lesson. Every act of resistance is... processed. Work hard. Move up. A compliant employee has nothing to fear from the system. Will you be the perfect employee, or will you become a glitch in the system? C.A.G.E. is a solo developer passion project made with love for the dark, bizarre and satirical kind of comedy. The main character is voiced by the talented Daniel Quinton (DQVO).
