I Will Definitely Be the CEO!

I Will Definitely Be the CEO! is a first-person story game about navigating a difficult career and working your way up from a junior employee. Your choices shape the protagonist’s actions and lead to branching stories and multiple endings. You face workplace politics, weigh risks and benefits, and try to recover from setbacks by making use of the resources around you.

Workplace choices

The story depicts workplace practices including manipulation, bullying and cliques. Each decision can lead in a new direction, from building a wider circle of colleagues to becoming a lone operator who pushes others aside. There may be no single correct choice, but your decisions determine how the story unfolds and what future you pursue.
