What the developers have confirmed
The Steam store page shows "Planned Release Date: October 2026" and marks the game as an Early Access title. In the Early Access notes the developers write that they expect the game to stay in Early Access for "roughly two months, with a full release targeted for mid-December 2026", and that the estimate may shift with player feedback, content progress and stability.
That is a short Early Access period. The team describes it as a way to learn which scenarios players enjoy and where the progression needs work before 1.0, not as a years-long development phase.
What is not confirmed
- The day in October. Neither Steam nor the official site gives one.
- The launch price. See the price page.
- Any release on console, Mac or mobile. See platforms.
What changes between Early Access and 1.0
According to the Early Access notes, the full version is planned to add or improve:
- More scam scenarios and more fictional callers.
- Deeper workday progression and office interactions.
- A better co-op experience.
- Balance, performance and usability, guided by player feedback.
The Early Access build already supports single-player and online co-op, real-time AI callers, remote computer access, daily quotas, workplace disruptions and the boss's performance review.
How to play before launch
The only way in before October is the closed playtest, and signups for it are currently shut. The playtest page explains how access and friend invites work.
