Pocket Boss: A New Puzzle Game on Steam

A new puzzle game is set to make waves in the gaming community, focusing on themes of remote work and corporate data manipulation. Pocket Boss is scheduled for release on Steam, with developers recently unveiling a trailer during the Day of the Devs showcase event, part of Summer Game Fest.

Game Overview

In Pocket Boss, players assume the role of an employee working remotely, navigating the demands of an ever-demanding boss. The game primarily unfolds within a chat window, where players must respond to requests from their boss, who requires alterations to data to enhance profits and eliminate competition.

Gameplay Mechanics

When players receive these requests, the gameplay transitions into a minigame format. There appears to be a variety of engaging designs. One minigame involves launching a competitor’s market share off the screen, while another challenges players to maneuver through a physical representation of the stock market without crashing. This unique approach offers a corporate-themed twist reminiscent of the WarioWare franchise.

Developer Information

The game is published by Playables, the studio known for developing the novel-looking Time Flies and the interactive cartoon KIDS. As of now, a specific release date for Pocket Boss has not been announced.

Event Context

This announcement is just one of many made during the extensive Day of the Devs stream, which is part of a series of events throughout Summer Game Fest. It is an exciting time for enthusiasts who enjoy exploring trailers and news about upcoming video games.
