You are Unique

Your first day as an intern. Your last hope for sanity.

---

Welcome, intern.
On your first day at [Company Name Redacted], you’re given a simple assignment: guide as many marbles as possible into the company’s mysterious receivers.

Draw paths. Place doors. Spin rooms. Experiment with wacky modifiers as you loop, split, and multiply your way through an absurd office maze of “productivity.”

Throughout your adventure, you’ll be (mis)guided by Philip—your mentor, supervisor, and possibly your only friend here. Every decision, every click, and every bouncing marble is a new opportunity to engineer the ultimate Rube Goldberg internship.

Will you discover the secret of the marbles? Or simply lose your mind in a perfectly circular loop?

“Imagine if Factorio had an internship program run by a talking spreadsheet, and all the machines were marbles with minds of their own.”

Build, bounce, and loop your way through a sandbox of absurd engineering and questionable management advice. Welcome to the world’s most confusing internship!

---

• Mouse only:
  • Double left click: Move between rooms
  • Left click: Draw lines and place doors
  • Right click: Erase paths or doors or rooms

• Guide the marbles from the spawner through a series of rooms to reach receivers and maximize your marbles-per-minute score.
• Experiment with a variety of room types:
  • Permanent ball modifiers: Weight, bounce, friction, etc.
  • Temporary ball modifiers: Value upgrades, splitters, trampolines, force fields...
  • Generators: Send in a marble with special traits to clone it forever!
  • Environmental rooms: Duplicators, bouncers, and more.

(Tip: If you ever feel lost, Philip will be there to “help.”)

Everything in Welcome is about loops.
From the micro-loops of marbles bouncing endlessly, to the feedback loop of cloning new types, to the existential loop of endless unpaid internships—this game celebrates creative cycle-building at every turn.

Philip, your ever-encouraging, never-condescending mentor, will be with you every step of the way.
Listen for life advice, questionable jokes, and heartfelt reminders that here, the most important thing... is People.
