[[As I looked up into the overcast night sky,|CH001-02]]

[[I wondered again if I made the right choice.|CH001-03]]

[[The abandoned oil rig was dead silent,|CH001-04]]

[[except for the sound of the water below,|CH001-05]]

[[lapping lazily at the feet of the structure,|CH001-06]]

[[and the echoing groans of the rig.|CH001-07]]

[[The helicopter left a while ago.|CH001-08]]

[[The pilot hadn't spoken a word to me.|CH001-09]]

[[He just stared ahead, focused on his task.|CH001-10]]

[[Very unfriendly.|CH001-11]]

[[It gave me a somewhat foreboding feeling,|CH001-12]]

[[Which was not helped by the state of the rig.|CH001-13]]

[[I sighed.|CH001-14]]

[[I reminded myself that I chose this,|CH001-15]]

[[so, I should see it through.|CH001-16]]

[[Looking around the place I was about to call home,|CH001-17]]

[[I couldn't help but think to myself|CH001-18]]

[[that it seemed an incredibly lonely place.|CH001-19]]

You have reached the end of the current demo. Thank you for playing! Close this tab or window to exit the game.

[[A persistent beep pulled me from my thoughts.|CH003-09]]

[[I followed the sound back to its source.|CH003-10]]

[[Taking this job was not a proud moment for me.|CH001-20]]

[[It was an intercom radio,|CH003-11]]

[[just inside the exterior control room.|CH003-12]]

[[As I was searching the console for the beacon,|CH003-13]]

[[a woman started shouting over the speaker.|CH003-14]]

[[She said,|CH003-15]]

<<link '"This is a restricted area. Please leave immediately!"' "CH003-16">><</link>>

[[I had no way to contact the unfriendly pilot,|CH003-17]]

[[which didn't leave me with many options.|CH003-18]]

[[She sounded really serious.|CH003-19]]

[[I wondered if I could appeal to her somehow.|CH003-20]]

[[I wanted to answer her,|CH003-21]]

[[but I had never used this type of radio before.|CH003-22]]

[[I didn't recognize any of the controls...|CH003-23]]

What should I do first? <<button [[Introduce myself.|DEMOBUTTON]]>><</button>> <<button [[Wait to see what happens.|DEMOBUTTON]]>><</button>> <<button [[Hit some buttons at random!|DEMOBUTTON]]>><</button>>

Every decision has consequences... (to be continued) <<button [[END GAME|DEMOEND]]>><</button>>

[[But, to be fair,|CH001-21]]

[[I haven't had many proud moments, overall.|CH001-22]]

[[If I had paid closer attention while job hunting,|CH001-23]]

[[I probably wouldn't be in this situation.|CH001-24]]

[[This job was posted by a company called|CH001-25]]

[[Wise Owl Industries.|CH001-26]]

[[They paid really well,|CH001-27]]

[[but the job description was vague at best.|CH001-28]]

[[I wasn't even interviewed by a real person.|CH001-29]]

[[I just took their corporate personality quiz.|CH002-01]]

[[I didn't think about their methods too much,|CH003-02]]

[[but I was hired almost immediately,|CH003-03]]

[[So I guess my answers were good enough.|CH003-04]]

[[The whole interview gave me an uneasy feeling.|CH003-05]]

[[...it was the same feeling I have now.|CH003-06]]

[[Like forgetting something important,|CH003-07]]

[[or something is wrong but I can't tell what it is.|CH003-08]]

Everything seemed normal, at first. <<button [[RECALL INTERVIEW|CH002-02]]>><</button>>

I started with my name. <<textbox "$name" "">> <<button "CONFIRM">><<if $name isnot "">><<goto [[CH002-03]]>><<else>><<replace "#error">>Please enter your name.<</replace>><</if>><</button>> <span id="error" style="color: #ff6b6b"></span> <<set $name to $name.toLowerCase()>> <<set $name to $name.toUpperFirst()>>

[[Creating the rest of the employee profile was easy.|CH002-04]]

[[They asked for my contact information and such,|CH002-05]]

[[but then the questions got a little weird.|CH002-06]]

[[How did it go, again?|CH002-07]]

I think there were 20 questions total. <<button [[TAKE QUIZ|MBTI_Router]]>><</button>> <<button [[SKIP QUIZ|QSKIP]]>><</button>>
