ABOUT THIS GAME

Welcome to the World of Pending Approval

In Pending Approval, a new PC idle game, players are thrust into the absurdity of a bureaucratic machine. Your primary task? Fill out forms, stamp them, and amass Bureaucracy Points as you navigate a labyrinth of mind-numbing paperwork. This Kafkaesque adventure strips away conventional victory to offer you a journey through the never-ending maze of organizational nonsense.

Forms of Madness: Navigating Bureaucracy

Every form presents a new challenge, pushing players to fill in fields and stamp approval seals. With over 20 distinct types of forms, including the lucrative golden forms that reward x10 points, the urgency of pressing deadlines with urgent forms, and a ruthless rejection system, players will find themselves locked in a relentless cycle. As you ascend the ranks, the absurdity of the paperwork only intensifies.

Hiring Your Bureaucratic Team

In the quest for efficiency, you'll discover the need to build your own bureaucratic army. Starting with a simple pen, players can unlock 40 automators across two phases, allowing them to automate the most tedious tasks. The cost of mass hiring scales exponentially, mimicking the challenges of real-world bureaucracy. Embrace the chaos, as your workforce churns through documents around the clock.

Master the Progression System

Once you've established a solid foundation, players can reset their progress through an “Advance” feature, retaining permanent abilities while earning Prestige Points. This unique mechanic allows you to reinvent your bureaucrat—again and again—bringing fresh strategies into each new run. How deep into the mire can you go before the absurdity becomes too overwhelming?

Shape Your Skills with the Skill Tree

Customize your gameplay the way you want through a nuanced skill tree featuring 25 skills across five branches. Focus on speed, maximize rewards, or gain total control over your workday. The branches cover various aspects, from reducing costs to enhancing production or even automating every last click. The flexibility empowers players to find the perfect strategy for their personal bureaucratic escapade.

Engage with Daily Cards and Your Boss

Each workday in Pending Approval starts uniquely, as players draw from a pool of 14 daily cards. These cards provide instant bonuses, passive modifiers, or special counter abilities that could shift your day’s outcome. And just when you think you have a handle on things, your boss interrupts with pivotal calls, revealing more about the bizarre corporate landscape in which you're ensnared.

Achievements that Measure Your Bureaucratic Brilliance

The journey through Pending Approval is not without its milestones. With over 25 unlockable achievements, players can track their progress and expertise. The evolving ranking system encourages continuous engagement, rewarding skill improvements and strategic choices. Completing your journey grants you a personalized certificate, encapsulating your triumph over the chaos of corporate life.
