You are laid off by Mega Corp, and the news kills you. Your ghost goes back to the office for revenge, launching equipment and starting ragdoll brawls among former co-workers.

Office Fight turns redundancy into a physics comedy, where the destruction is the joke.

My contribution

I originated the central concept and led Fenix Studios as CEO and CCO through development in Unreal Engine 5.

  1. 01Originated the concept: a laid-off worker returns as a ghost to wreck the office.
  2. 02Set the tone and the hook: simple to explain, and funny.
  3. 03Made Unreal's physics, ragdolls and Chaos destruction part of the joke.
  4. 04Led the studio, the product and its marketing story.
