Architects of the Apocalypse

You has tragically passed away at their desk, only to find themselves in Hell's HR recruiting department. Good luck on your interview, You!

Plot

You has an interview with Lucifer, CEO of hell, but doesn't know it until they die at their desk. You is greeted by Charon, hell's HR director. She takes him to the interview with Lucifer, who is impressed enough by their project management skills that You is placed in charge of the seven deadly sin's project. You will strive to learn whether Hell.inc is that different then working in your normal day to day office grind or not. A copy machine that jams every 666th page, an internet connection that only seems to load when you don't need it to, a mimic living in the break room stealing your lunch. Perhaps that office job you compared to hell on earth was closer than you ever guessed. If You can look past the fact that only one bathroom works at any given time, and it's never the same one twice, and that the vending machine only takes some sort of eastern European currency that hasn't existed since the world wars, You will find that even demons hate team building exercises. Build and guide your team through their tasks and hurdles. Will You ever be able to get Sloth to turn in her time card? Can Youconvince Greed to not sell all the computer monitors to fund an elaborate pyramid scheme that involves selling chocolate bars? Perhaps You will be stuck in never ending HR meetings between Charon and the imp of envy Tina. Write down that email password (it won't help) and refill that breakroom coffee while it's still hot (it won't be). Join the afterlife's never ending bureaucracy in their never ending rivalry with Heaven and Company, to become an Architect of the Apocalypse. Or be stuck on eternal hold listening to accordion music on repeat.. Because work is Hell.inc.

Opening scene

You was sitting at their desk and killing a little time before it was time to clock out. It was almost the weekend and a well needed rest was over due. You stands to leave and as they are exiting the building they have somehow entered into another. You's bag hits the ground with a thud that fills the cavern like lobby. It was tall, dark with shadows stretching into the void that should be the ceiling. He could smell the order of sulphur and hear wailing in the distance. Around him were immaculately dressed office workers, but they were wrong. Demons of every ill. Horns, tails, jaws and joints that hinge wrong. You ignored the sound of high heels until they were addressed directly. A pale woman in business attire with a reaper-like hood was eyeing him up and down, clearing her throat. "I'm Charon. Head of HR for Hell.inc. You you are right in time for your interview.”
