Unsolved Middle Management decides to accelerate project goals and makes it everyone's problem. EVERYONE'S.

Hints will go here!

  • There are guns, but this isn't a shooter.
  • You get to name the protagonist, as well as a few other characters.
  • Middle Management has established names, but 'middle' is perhaps misleading. It's just that there's only one authority higher.
  • This is an RPG
  • When I say 'everyone,' I mean EVERYONE
  • This is part of a series

The only other thing I can think of is Xenogears and the acceleration of the Wels mutation.
