Summary
Bureaucracy is an interactive fiction computer game developed by Infocom in 1987 and written by renowned comic science fiction writer Douglas Adams. In the game, the player must navigate a long and complex series of bureaucratic obstacles caused by a recent move. Mail goes undelivered, bank accounts become unreachable, and everything feels off. The game features a simulated blood pressure meter that increases during "frustrating" situations and decreases during calm periods. If the blood pressure reaches a critical level, the player experiences an aneurysm and the game concludes. As the player attempts to complete the deceptively simple task of recovering misplaced mail, they meet a variety of strange characters, including a reclusive hacker, a weapons-obsessed paranoid, and a group of Zalagasan cannibals. Meanwhile, they must also contend with unfeeling corporations, illogical airport systems, and a ravenous llama.
