There’s a new puzzle game in town, and this one tackles remote work and corporate data manipulation. Pocket Boss<\/em> is coming to Steam and the developers just dropped a trailer during the Day of the Devs showcase event, which is part of Summer Game Fest.<\/p>\n

Pocket Boss<\/em> casts players as an employee working remotely, trapped by the whims of an ever-demanding boss. The game is primarily set inside of a chat window, though the puzzle element kicks in when the aforementioned job creator demands changes to data in order to maximize profits and erase competitors.<\/p>\n

When that happens, the perspective shifts to a minigame. There looks to be plenty of different designs here. One game involves flinging a competitor’s market share off of the screen, while another has players navigate a physical representation of the stock market without crashing. It’s like a corporation-soaked take on the WarioWare franchise.<\/p>\n

The game is published by Playables, which is the studio behind the novel-looking Time Flies<\/em> and the interactive cartoon KIDS<\/em>. We don’t have a release date for Pocket Boss<\/em> just yet.<\/p>\n
