We are just a few short days away from the action platformer The Company Man being released on Nintendo Switch. Take on the role of Jim (just like from The Office tv series) a young upstart at the Good Water Company. Jim sets out to overthrow his boss and become the new CEO. “Launch email attacks against coworkers with a powerful keyboard, run and jump across departments from Human Resources to Marketing, boost up with coffee beans, and show them who's boss!” The Company Man is one of the Honorable Mentions on Forbes' list of top 10 indie games in 2021.
