HR: Human Remains launches on Steam September 22

HR: Human Remains, a first-person horror game where demons have conquered the world but you still have to show up to your desk job, just got a release date. Developer DennisCorner and publisher Black Lantern Collective confirmed it hits Steam on September 22, alongside a new release date trailer.

The game leans into dark workplace comedy without dropping the horror. You play as an office clerk stuck navigating demonic co-workers and nightmarish bosses, making choices that lead to multiple different endings. Puzzles unlock hidden areas, and you can collect items to decorate the break room — which sounds mundane until you remember the world outside is literally hell. The visual style draws from the original PlayStation era, giving it that low-poly, pre-rendered eeriness that fits the tone perfectly.

Black Lantern Collective focuses on indie horror, and HR: Human Remains fits squarely in that lane — offbeat premise, lo-fi aesthetics, and a story that seems to reward exploration and replay. The office-horror subgenre has a small but dedicated fanbase, and the mix of Hellraiser-style dread with Office Space absurdity is a pitch that practically sells itself.

The release date trailer is live now on Steam. September 22 is the target — mark it down if punching in during the apocalypse sounds like your kind of nightmare.
