The Company Man is an indie platformer by Malaysian developer Forust. After a successful launch on PC early this year, The Company Man will be hitting consoles soon, starting with Nintendo Switch in Early 2022, thanks to Singapore-based publisher Leoful.
The Company Man sees young salaryman Jim working at the Good Water Company, doesn’t like what he sees, and is now climbing (or rather, jumping up) the corporate ladder to overthrow his boss.
The hostile takeover involves a keyboard blade, taking coffee breaks at the pantry, and various other corporate office themes to your regular 2D platforming hijinks, with a bit more focus on combat. There are secret gauntlet dungeons where you can face waves and waves of coworkers by throwing backhanded compliments and throwing emails.
The Company Man will launch worldwide on the Nintendo Switch both digitally on the Nintendo eShop as well as with physical editions coming to select retailers in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and other Southeast Asia markets. Playable languages include English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, French, Italian, German, and Spanish.
