Yuppie Psycho: Executive Edition

About Yuppie Psycho: Executive Edition

Yuppie Psycho is a horror adventure by Baroque Decay, first released in 2019; the Executive Edition, now given to every owner, adds new areas, new bosses and hours of new content. It is set in a dystopian society of the 1990s.

Brian Pasternack, a young man with no prospects, lands a job at Sintracorp, one of the largest companies in the world. During a very odd orientation he learns what the job really is: hunting a witch whose powers made the corporation's success possible and who has come back to torment its employees. The tower is full of strange coworkers with sordid secrets and creatures you must get away from.

You ride the elevator between floors, talk to colleagues, find clues and solve riddles, and use different lights to see what waits in the dark, all without letting the Witch catch you. The pixel art and office satire make many scenes funny, but the game turns to gore and distress without warning, and your choices decide how it ends. It suits players who like story-led 2D horror with a dark sense of humour.

How to play Yuppie Psycho: Executive Edition

1. Buy Yuppie Psycho on Steam for Windows, Mac or Linux; a gamepad is recommended.
2. Explore Sintracorp floor by floor using the elevator, and talk to your coworkers.
3. Collect clues and items and solve the riddles that open new paths.
4. Use light sources to see into dark areas, and run or hide when a creature or the Witch comes.
