After it was announced today that The Company Man will be reaching Switch next week, a demo popped up on the eShop – and we now have gameplay. 15 minutes of footage is in.
In case you missed it previously, here’s everything you need to know about the game:
The Company Man is a classic action platformer inspired by the popular American TV series “The Office”. You play as Jim, a young salaryman starting out at the Good Water Company. Unsatisfied with how the company is run, Jim sets out to overthrow his boss and become the 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!
