Story Tropes

Classic narrative patterns to play through

Office Rivalry

You and your coworker are competing for the same promotion, the same project, and the same recognition, and the rivalry has turned every meeting into a battlefield. The stakes are careers and egos, the weapons are emails and presentations, and the collateral damage is everyone caught between you.

Startup Chaos

You are building a company from nothing, fueled by caffeine, equity promises, and the belief that your idea can change the world. The startup is chaos personified — roles shift daily, funding is always about to run out, and every week brings a crisis that could end everything.

Corporate Whistleblower

You discover your company is doing something deeply wrong and you have the evidence to prove it. Going public means destroying your career, your relationships, and possibly your safety, but staying silent means becoming complicit in harm you can never undo.

Promotion Competition

You are in the running for a position that will change everything — your salary, your authority, your entire trajectory. The competition is fierce, the politics are brutal, and you must decide how much of yourself you are willing to compromise to climb one rung higher.

Toxic Boss

You report to someone who makes your working life a daily exercise in survival — micromanagement, public humiliation, impossible demands, and credit-stealing are their standard tools. You must navigate the toxic boss without losing your job, your sanity, or your self-respect.

Merger Drama

You learn that your company is merging with a rival, and overnight your colleagues become competitors for a shrinking number of positions. The merger is a corporate earthquake — cultures clash, loyalties shift, and the survivors will be chosen by people who do not know your name.

Company Retreat

You are trapped at a team-building retreat where forced fun reveals real tensions, alcohol loosens real secrets, and the professional masks everyone wears to the office come off spectacularly. The company retreat is where careers are made and destroyed in a single weekend.

Hostile Takeover

You watch an outside force move to seize control of your company through stock manipulation, board politics, and ruthless strategy. The hostile takeover threatens everything you have built, and fighting it means learning the brutal rules of corporate warfare on the fly.

Remote Work Disconnect

You stare at a grid of faces on a screen, isolated in your home office while your career slowly becomes invisible. The remote work disconnect erodes relationships, blurs the boundary between work and life, and makes you wonder if the company would even notice if you disappeared.

Settings & Worlds

Environments to explore and inhabit

Open Plan Office

You sit at a desk with no walls, surrounded by the constant hum of keyboards, phone calls, and conversations you were not meant to overhear. The open plan office is a fishbowl where everyone can see everyone, privacy is a fantasy, and your screen is always visible to the person walking behind you.

Corner Office

You sit behind a real desk with a real door and windows on two walls, the physical manifestation of power in the corporate hierarchy. The corner office is a trophy, a fortress, and a target, and everyone below you wants it as badly as you wanted it before you got here.

Break Room

You stand by the coffee machine in the only room where rank dissolves and real conversations happen. The break room is where gossip spreads, alliances form over shared lunches, and the truth about the company comes out in offhand remarks between bites of a sandwich.

Conference Room

You sit around a long table under fluorescent lights, armed with slide decks and talking points, fighting for ideas, budgets, and survival. The conference room is where decisions are made, presentations live or die, and the politics of the office are played out in real time.

Startup Garage

You work from a cluttered garage or cramped apartment, surrounded by whiteboards covered in ideas, energy drink cans, and the chaotic energy of people building something from nothing. The startup garage is where billion-dollar companies begin and where most dreams quietly die.

Coworking Space

You rent a hot desk in a shared space filled with freelancers, founders, and remote workers, all performing productivity in a curated environment of exposed brick and artisanal coffee. The coworking space is a stage for networking, a cure for isolation, and a reminder that the gig economy runs on optimism.

Company Retreat Venue

You arrive at a resort or lodge where the company has gathered for mandatory bonding, far from the office and dangerously close to nature, alcohol, and unfiltered honesty. The venue strips away professional distance, and what happens at the retreat rarely stays at the retreat.

Virtual Meeting

You unmute yourself in a video call where half the cameras are off, the connection keeps dropping, and the most important conversations are happening in the private chat you were not added to. The virtual meeting is the modern workplace's most universal and most despised ritual.

Character Archetypes

Characters to embody or encounter

The Ambitious Newcomer

You arrive on your first day with energy, ideas, and a determination to prove yourself that the veterans find either refreshing or threatening. You learn the unwritten rules the hard way, make allies and enemies before your first month is over, and discover that ambition alone is not enough to survive.

The Office Villain Boss

You are the manager everyone fears, the one who takes credit, assigns blame, and rules through intimidation. Whether you are genuinely malicious or simply terrible at leadership, your effect on your team is devastating, and the question is whether anyone has the courage to stand up to you.

The Work Best Friend

You are the person who makes the job bearable — the one who shares lunch, vents frustrations, and provides the human connection that keeps your colleague from quitting. But the work best friend walks a fine line, because professional ambition and personal loyalty do not always align.

The IT Wizard

You are the person everyone calls when something breaks, and you know more about the company's systems, secrets, and vulnerabilities than anyone in the C-suite. You are underestimated, underpaid, and sitting on enough digital knowledge to bring the entire organization to its knees.

The HR Mediator

You sit between warring employees, filing complaints, mediating disputes, and navigating the impossible tension between protecting workers and protecting the company. You know everyone's secrets, everyone's grievances, and the real reasons people get fired, and the neutrality your role demands is getting harder to maintain.

The Founder

You built this company from nothing and it is your identity, your legacy, and your obsession. You make every decision, carry every failure personally, and struggle to delegate to people who will never care about the company as much as you do.

The Intern

You are at the bottom of the hierarchy, fetching coffee and doing grunt work while desperately trying to prove you deserve a real position. You see everything, are underestimated by everyone, and the fresh perspective you bring is either the company's greatest untapped resource or its most inconvenient mirror.

Classic Characters

Reimagined literary icons

Bob Cratchit

You are the underpaid, overworked clerk who keeps the office running while your employer hoards every penny. You endure cold offices, long hours, and a boss who sees generosity as weakness, all because your family depends on a salary that barely keeps food on the table.

Ebenezer Scrooge

You are the boss who measures everything in profit and considers your employees' wellbeing an unnecessary expense. You run your office like a miser's vault, and the ghosts of your choices are gathering to show you the human cost of treating people as line items on a ledger.

Uriah Heep

You are the humble clerk whose meekness hides a calculating mind, climbing the corporate ladder through manipulation, forged documents, and a servile manner that disguises naked ambition. You smile, you bow, you call yourself ever so humble, and you take everything that is not nailed down.

Mr. Micawber

You are the eternal optimist perpetually waiting for something to turn up, lurching from one financial disaster to the next with a confidence that defies all evidence. You give advice you cannot follow, borrow money you cannot repay, and remain magnificently certain that prosperity is just around the corner.

Bartleby the Scrivener

You are the office worker who one day simply stops — you would prefer not to. Your quiet refusal to participate in the machinery of work becomes an act of existential rebellion that confounds your employer and challenges everything the workplace assumes about compliance and duty.

Wemmick

You are the clerk who has built an impenetrable wall between your work self and your home self — at the office you are all business, at home you are a different person entirely. Your castle is your sanctuary, and the rigid separation of professional and personal is the only way you survive the grinding demands of your employer.
