HR: Human Remains characters
You play an ordinary office clerk in a demon-run city. Confirmed cast from the demo and discussions: your boss who assigns tasks, Laila, a lab worker, the stasis demon in the break room, and cleaners who mop up blood. Talking to demons and survivors is how you learn the rules of the new society.
You play an ordinary office clerk in a society run by demons — the store page's framing is "from the perspective of an ordinary office clerk". The cast around you mixes humans trying to survive and demons running the machine. Talking to both is how you learn the rules of the new society, and several named faces have already come out of the demo and the developer's community.
Confirmed characters
| Character | What is confirmed | Source |
|---|---|---|
| You — the clerk | An ordinary office worker holding a survival ticket, assigned tasks by your boss | Store page |
| Your boss | The one who assigns tasks; the diligent are rewarded and the disobedient face consequences | Store page |
| Laila | A character demo players single out for praise — one playtester wrote the portrayal is "quite good" and tied to the demo's ending | Player report |
| The stasis demon | Lives in your break room — players ask "Hi. Are you the stasis demon?" on meeting it | Demo footage |
| Cleaners | Blood really can be cleaned up by the cleaners, per a playtester's feedback | Player report |
| The lab worker | A stained lab coat, an ID badge, and the question "Are you a visitor?" behind a STAFF ONLY door | Official screenshot |
The demons you work for
The premise is blunt: the demons won the war, and those humans who remain are eaten, sacrificed or enslaved. Your survival ticket keeps you employed rather than on the menu. In the world, that plays out as:
- Demon managers and clerks. The HR joke is not subtle — players note the game's "HR is always wasting your time" energy, and corporate structures are still running the apocalypse.
- Guarded sites and entities. Labs carry "WARNING — UNRESTRAINED ENTITY" signage, and there are areas with enemies you evade rather than fight.
- Survivors with information. Dialogue with humans and demons is the game's information system: rules, rumours and the openings a resist run needs.
What is not yet confirmed
Named bosses, the full cast list and the roles of the figures glimpsed at the end of the demo (a police system, human army hints) are not yet confirmed. Playtester notes describe the demo's ending as leaving suspense about exactly those threads — this page is updated with the full cast once the shipped build is verifiable.
