About the game

AI is taking your job and capitalism is trying to kill you. Fight back. This office roguelite throws hordes of coworkers and AI managers at you — snowball office supplies into a screen-clearing build and outlast 30 brutal years of reviews, debt, and firings. Clock in. Get rich. Retire. Maybe.

Original Steam description

Performance Review: Survivor is a satirical bullet heaven roguelite. Your weapons are office supplies, the horde is your coworkers, and your manager is an AI that's quietly evaluating whether you're still needed.

Survive 30 years and maybe you retire.

Weaponize the Supply Closet

Staplers, business cards, paper airplanes, reply-all emails, NDAs don't even begin to cover your armory. Every weapon fires on its own. You pick the upgrades, stack trinkets and max out a weapon to evolve it and snowball into a build that wipes the whole floor.

Your Manager Is an AI

Your AI Manager calls in the middle of fights. Take the Promotion Packet: pick new weapons, upgrade or gamble on life event. Every year ends in a performance review, and your numbers decide what happens next.

Get Fired. Get Rehired.

Losing your job isn't the end of the run. Apply to everything on the job portal, get through the interview, then negotiate. Take the offer, clock back in.

Meet Your Coworkers

Interns, Micromanagers, The Office Bros, Cold Callers, Consultants, HR and more, all walking toward your cubicle. And at the top of the org chart, the ones we're really doing this for.
