Overview
Contracting at a Tech Giant is a story-driven visual novel that drops you into the shoes of Lin Mo, a 29-year-old backend programmer who joins the tech behemoth Langlang as a contractor. Despite six years of contributions, he's still treated as an outsider—the gate recognizes him but won't let him use the main entrance, and his commits are remembered while award forms demand an employee number.
This is a game about the absurd contradictions of corporate life, told with a sharp, darkly humorous edge.
Developed and published by wk, this single-player adventure launched on October 20, 2026, and supports Simplified Chinese, English, and Japanese. The game leans heavily on text-based storytelling, with choices that matter and multiple endings waiting to be uncovered.
