The Company Man out on Switch next week
The Company Man, an office adventure game from publisher Leoful and developer Forust, now has a release date. The two sides confirmed that it will be dropping digitally on January 21.
The Company Man was only just announced for Switch last month. It had an early 2022 release window at the time.
More information about the game can be found below.
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!
Key Features
DESTROY EVERYONE IN YOUR PATH AS YOU MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE TOP
Put your platforming skills to the test as you jump and dash across seven corporate departments riddled with booby traps, quirky coworkers, and tough bosses.
IMMERSE YOURSELF IN A BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED WORLD
Explore a variety of beautiful hand-painted environments – from the over air-conditioned icy floors in Accounting to the endless mountains of paperwork in Human Resources.
RELATABLE ISSUES DELIVERED WITH WIT
Remember the lazy manager who bosses you around, or the annoying coworker that tries to sell you a pyramid scheme? You will find yourself laughing at the many puns and jokes of working life.
PULL YOURSELF BY THE BOOTSTRAPS WITH WEAPON UPGRADES
Upskill yourself with a keyboard upgrade after beating a new department. From throwing a backhanded comment to blasting a spam email tsunami, there are many ways to finish the job.

Feeling a little underpowered? Have a coffee break to boost your health and stamina! I mean, how could you possibly overthrow a company without a little caffeine?
