SHERMAN OAKS, Cali. – March 14, 2023 – Hell of an Office, the satanic speedrunning first-person platformer from developer 43 Studios and publisher Joystick Ventures, jumps through hoops to escape an infernal workplace and onto Steam Early Access for PC today.
Many corporations create toxic work environments, but that’s nothing compared to the CEO that is the literal devil. And if stakes weren’t high enough, a quickly rising floor of lava surrounding flammable walls of paperwork puts the “dead” in deadline. Storm into 40 office-based levels throughout the Ten Circles of Hell with the help of an ability granting stapler from the office mascot, Mr. Stapley. Rocket jump, air dash, and fire flaming staples to chase the frantic dream of escaping the HellO Corporation.
Avoid spike-covered walls, blistering lazer beams, and infinitely-spinning saw blades, among other dangerous obstacles made to keep all employees from clocking out. Create customized routes through levels thanks to versatile and addictive level design in the ever long chase for Diamond Rank times, top spots on the leaderboards, and of course, bragging rights.
Hell of an Office starts its first day of devilish work in Steam Early Access on Windows PCs today for $9.99 USD with English language support. For more information on Hell of an Office, please visit the official website, follow the game on Twitter and TikTok, and join the community in Discord.
