Ever felt your job was too exciting? Too much stimulus, too much at stake? Worry not - you can now experience what it feels like to have a normal job. A bureaucratic document inspection sim - with a dry sense of humor and a fault severity system that keeps you honest.

You're a government vehicle inspector. Applications come in. You decide what happens to them.

Each day, a stack of vehicle registrations lands on your desk. Your job is to review them against current regulatory standards - checking for faults, flagging discrepancies, deciding whether each vehicle gets approved, fined, investigated, or denied outright. Miss a fault and you've let something dangerous onto the road. Flag something incorrectly and you've wasted everyone's time, including yours. As time passes, the guidelines grow stricter and new regulations come into force. You'll need to keep up.

Not all faults are equal. A minor defect might warrant a fine; a critical one demands denial or investigation. Misclassifying the severity is its own kind of mistake - the regulations don't just care whether you caught something, but whether you responded to it correctly.

The job rewards accuracy, not speed - but the applications keep coming regardless.

Progression

Your performance is tracked. Get enough right and you'll have access to an upgrade tree that improves how you work - better tools, expanded regulatory knowledge, and other institutional advantages described, in the upgrade menu, with sincerity. Day by day, your inspector becomes more capable. Whether that's a good thing is between you and the upgrade screen.

As you advance, new categories of vehicles enter the rotation - each with their own specifications, fault types, and regulatory quirks. What starts as a manageable stack of standard registrations gradually expands into something more demanding. Familiarity is earned, not given.

The upgrade tree lets you invest in the areas that matter most to your workflow. Sharpen your eye for specific fault types, improve your standing with the department, or find ways to make the grind a little more bearable. Upgrades carry over between runs, so progress made is progress kept. Mini-Games

Everyone needs some time off, so why not relax and play some games to take your mind off the bureaucracy. 

The Pressure

Your salary doesn't stretch as far as it used to. Approving vehicles keeps the economy moving, but approving the wrong ones has consequences. Still, you can approve everything to meet your quota. After all your survival is more important than a stranger's.
