Pocket Boss, a newly announced puzzle game, focuses on the challenges of remote work amid corporate pressures. Players embody an employee responding to demanding job requests, primarily communicated through a chat interface. Unique minigames emerge when the boss instructs players to alter data for profit maximization. Notable activities include removing competitors' market share and navigating a stock market simulation. Developed by Playables, known for innovative games like Time Flies and KIDS, the game was unveiled during the Summer Game Fest's Day of the Devs event, but no release date has been set yet.
Pocket Boss casts players as an employee working remotely, trapped by the whims of an ever-demanding boss that leads to various puzzle scenarios.
The game’s unique twist includes shifting perspectives from a chat window to engaging minigames centered around corporate data manipulation.
One minigame has players fling a competitor's market share off-screen, reflecting the pressures of maximizing profits in a playful manner.
Published by Playables, Pocket Boss is part of the wider lineup showcased during Summer Game Fest, highlighting the demand for creative indie games.
