Should you motivate your workers with amenities such as water coolers and portable toilets or do you subject them to long hours and verbal abuse in the name of productivity? Is a safety officer worth shelling out money for or would you rather risk the death of a few drones in a fiery industrial blaze?
Despite the cartoony treatment, the game paints an accurate portrait of the lives of sweatshop slaves.
