Get HWTC: Happy Worker Tool Company for PC

HWTC: Happy Worker Tool Company is a psychological horror game and work simulation set in the fictional post-Soviet Republic of Calvania. You work night shifts in a warehouse, checking, packing and sending orders while piecing together a story from the warehouse, its notes and a Council-approved radio station. The game explores routine, negligence and mental health, leaving much of its story open to interpretation.

Working shifts

Each shift lasts eight hours, has no limit on the number of orders you can pack, and brings a new conveyor configuration that can make your tasks easier or harder. You organize your work using shelves, watch for electric fuses nearing their limits, and manage your time and space. Hard work and attention to detail are rewarded, while carelessness is noticed and punished.

Staying sane

The closer you get to a mental breakdown, the less friendly the warehouse becomes: you may hear whispers, see flickering lights or find the conveyor belts silent. The game focuses on a dense, dark atmosphere rather than jump scares. You can take your time packing orders, rest in an armchair or take pills to help manage your condition.

Story and replay

Getting most of the achievements and story elements takes around 2–3 hours, but you can continue completing as many shifts as you like. The game exaggerates the pressures of working more, sleeping less, eating poorly and dealing with stress to make ends meet, while reflecting on how closely that experience can resemble everyday life.
