Inhuman Resources

Hello itch community,

We are Finnegan Motors!

A small dev team based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

With Finnegan, our interaction fiction engine built on top of Unity, we use our expertise to adapt strong literary IP and classic works in to interactive fiction. We like to work collaboratively to ensure the spirit of the work remains intact when it becomes interactive and available to a new generation of readers. Our engine already offers a strong set of features, but we are open to discuss additional mechanics or features if the body of works requires it.

Our first game, INHUMAN RESOURCES, is “A literary machination about corporations, conspiracies, and the unspeakable horrors you’ll commit for minimum wage.”

We wanted to share the demo with you all because we know itch has a very loyal and precious community that provides priceless feedback. This is our first game and we're very keen on creating a community for our future releases which is why we're here on itch. We're very open to all types of feedback as we want to be better at what we do so please don't hesitate to let us know what you think of the demo and ask questions!

Our goal is to launch this on Steam and help propel the genre to new players. It has a "Severance" vibe to it so hopefully we can carry that interest over ;)

We appreciate your interest and we hope you enjoy the demo!

With hundreds of branching story routes, intricately designed challenges, and deeply immersive gameplay, INHUMAN RESOURCES redefines the traditional reading experience, plunging you into a corporate nightmare where every decision matters.
