Developer Baroque Decay has confirmed the release date for “first job survival horror” Yuppie Psycho.
Published by Another Indie, you play as Brian Pasternack- a young man in the 90s joining one of the world’s largest companies, Sintracorp. The company’s sinister history is revealed as you have to hunt down the witch that made the company a success, who has returned to torment the staff.
The player finds more dark secrets about the company and its employees, as the adventure game takes inspiration from games like Silent Hill and anime. The game’s soundtrack was also made by Michael Garoad (Composer of VA-11 Hall-A), and it can be pre-ordered on Band Camp.
Yuppie Psycho releases April 25th for Windows PC, Mac, and Linux (via Steam and Utomik).

First day at a new job? What a nightmare!
Join Brian Pasternack, a young man with no future in a dystopian 90s society, on his first day at one of the world’s largest companies, Sintracorp. Uncertain, unprepared, and massively unqualified, will Pasternack have what it takes to shine in Sintracorp’s hierarchy? It all depends on how he performs on his first assignment… and whether he survives it.
During his unconventional employee orientation, Pasternack discovers what his new job really entails: hunting a “witch” whose powers made the success of the corporation possible in the first place, but who now seems to have returned to torment its employees. Brian will meet all kinds of odd characters, escape from terrible creatures, and unravel the hidden secrets of Sintracorp’s dark past.
