Contracting at a Tech Giant
Released 26 October 2026 · PC · Adventure, Indie
A darkly comic workplace visual novel set inside a Chinese tech giant. Decide what programmer Lin Mo believes, what he says aloud, and which records he keeps. Your choices reshape credit, access, relationships, and the truth left behind across seven endings.
Story
For everyone who has worked, works, or will work as a contractor, and everyone who has worked, works, or will work alongside contractors, temporary workers, or agency staff. If someone worked here for six years, why must he still prove that he was ever here? At twenty-nine, backend programmer Lin Mo enters the technology giant Langlang as a contractor. The gate recognizes him but will not let him use the main entrance. The repository remembers his commits, but award forms require an employee number. The company welcomes him into the family while an email footer explains that the welcome proves no employment relationship. This is not a simple morality test between obedience and rebellion. Everyone has duties, fears, and practical costs of their own. A chain of locally reasonable decisions can still become a system that reliably hurts people. Choose what you believe, then choose what you say Critical conversations happen twice: first you decide what Lin Mo truly thinks, then what he can afford to say aloud. Anger with cooperation, sympathy with refusal, or silence backed by a record can all be viable choices with different costs. Keep limited records and put a subject back...
