THE STORY SO FAR
The year is 2025. The place: Delivery Station DVI1, Vienna.
You are a freshly minted Tier 1 WHS Coordinator โ which is corporate speak
for "the person who gets blamed when someone trips over a banana peel."
The warehouse is in CHAOS. Ops Managers roam the floor demanding
impossible rates. Hazards multiply like rabbits. And somewhere, somehow, someone
keeps blocking the fire exits with empty pallets.
Your mission? Find and eliminate 5 safety hazards before the
inevitable audit. Arm yourself with RULE BOOKS, dodge the
requests of productivity-obsessed managers, and pray that someone finally
refills the coffee machine.
"Safety is everyone's responsibility. Especially yours. Only yours, actually."
โ Anonymous Regional Manager, probably
โ ๏ธ WARNING: This game may cause flashbacks to actual warehouse shifts.
Side effects include: involuntary TPH calculations, clipboard nightmares, and sudden urges to straighten boxes.

TIPS FROM THE PROS
TIP #1:
Keep moving! A stationary target is a written warning waiting to happen.
TIP #2:
Watch for DESPERATION PHASE at 10% HP. Bosses heal to 30%, move 30% faster!
TIP #3:
Ops Managers can DEFLECT 10% of attacks. It's infuriating. We know.
TIP #4:
Carrie's 2x boss damage = speed runs. Just don't missโreload is slow as IT tickets.
TIP #5:
Erwin = HIGH RISK, HIGH REWARD. One life. Maximum speed. Peak Snake energy.
TIP #6:
Listen to the music! When it intensifies, something's about to go down. Probably your HP.
TIP #7:
That fire exit in the corner? ...Probably nothing. Definitely don't investigate it. ๐
