In Project P.I.T.T., a console click triggers an endless cycle of duck production, tossing them into the pit, and repetitive loops. The game satirizes the corporate world with a brutalist environment and PSX aesthetic that reflects the tension of routine work. The production mechanics become addictive, though they reveal their problematic side soon enough.
