TERMS & PRIVACY SUMMARY

Caffeinated Bob is provided by VidSource, LLC, a Nebraska limited liability company ("we," "us"), as entertainment software, as-is, with no warranty of any kind. The Game is currently in beta — features may change, and we don't guarantee progress will carry forward. The in-app "Compliance Vouchers" currency has no real-world monetary value, cannot be purchased, withdrawn, or exchanged for cash, and is earned only through gameplay.

SUPPORT PAYMENTS

You may optionally send us a one-time payment ("support") through the in-app "Support the Dev" feature. Support payments are voluntary and non-refundable, except where required by applicable law, and do not entitle you to any goods, services, in-game currency, in-game item, or other consideration. Support payments are not charitable contributions, are not made to a nonprofit organization, and are not tax-deductible. Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc.; we never receive or store your card details. We collect your email address to send a receipt, and, only if you opt in, occasional game news.

EMPLOYEE FILE (OPTIONAL SIGN-IN)

You may optionally enter your email address to create an "Employee File" so your saved progress follows you to another computer. This is never required to play. Sign-in is handled by a third-party authentication provider and protected by an automated check that may occasionally ask you to confirm you're a person; your career is backed up to our servers under an anonymous ID from the moment you start a shift, whether or not you sign in, and, only if you opt in, we'll also send occasional game news to that email. If you play signed out and later sign in to an account with its own progress, we decide which version to keep -- the other may not carry forward.

SHARING YOUR RESULTS

You may optionally share a day's results. Sharing creates a page that anyone holding the link can open, showing your in-game Employee number, the day, that day's rating and the in-game statistics on the review — never your email address, your name, or anything about how long you played. Your Employee number is already public on the Game's leaderboards. Shared summaries are deleted after one year. Nothing is shared unless you choose to share it.

ELIGIBILITY

Caffeinated Bob is intended for a general audience. You must be at least 13 to create an Employee File or give us your email address, and at least 18 (or the age of majority where you live) to make a support payment; if you're younger, a parent or guardian must make the payment for you, using their own payment method.

NO WARRANTY; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

The game is provided "as is," without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, VidSource, LLC is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the game.

This is a summary. By clicking I AGREE you accept the full Terms of Service & Privacy Policy, which control if anything here differs. We log your IP address when you accept.

ALREADY CLOCKED IN

This employee is already clocked in on another device. Bob can only be at one desk at a time.

Clocking in here will sign the other device out. Anything it has already filed is safe.

DEVICE ADVISORY

Caffeinated Bob is designed and tested primarily for desktop browsers.

It runs on a phone, and Bob will do his job — but the mobile experience is not guaranteed. Some things may sit oddly, and a few may not work at all.

Corporate appreciates your flexibility regarding the workspace provided.

AFTER HOURS AUTHORIZATION
NAMEPLATE REQUISITION
FORM NPC-1 (REV. C)RETAIN FOR YOUR RECORDS

Your first change window opens 1 day after issuance; every window after that opens 30 days after your last change.

COMPANY HANDBOOK

Welcome to Caffeinated Bob, a parody of Corporate America played Monday–Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM.

If you’re looking to avoid work with dopamine hits and flashy interactive gameplay, this is not the game for you. This game is designed to be played passively — simple on the surface, with plenty of depth when you want there to be. The more you play, the more you’ll find that life in a cubicle is much more bearable when you’ve got a cup of coffee and a friend.

HOW TO PLAY

Your job is simple: keep Bob caffeinated throughout the workday.

Click Get Coffee and Bob will leave for a few minutes before returning with a fresh cup. His energy increases with each sip. Too little coffee and Bob may fall asleep. Too much and [redacted by Corporate’s Lawyers].

Bob does not require much. Check in when you can, grab him a coffee when you grab yours, and spend your next break at work exploring Bob’s cubicle. A few more specifics directly from Corporate:

1. OFFICE HOURS

Caffeinated Bob operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with a required one-hour lunch break observed from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM. Outside of approved operating hours, Bob is unavailable for work-related activities. Employees are encouraged to practice work-life balance so long as it does not come in direct conflict with quarterly growth objectives.

Employees may still reach their workstation after hours by logging in to SYNERGY with their Employee ID and Access Code. Nothing performed at that hour is compensable, and Corporate wishes to be clear that it is not asking you to be there.

2. COMPLIANCE VOUCHERS

Corporate monitors employee alertness, productivity, and general workplace readiness. Satisfactory performance may be recognized through the distribution of Compliance Vouchers (CV).

Additional CV may be earned through TPS report submissions, email replies, and future Corporate Initiatives (pending budget approval).

Compliance Vouchers have no real-world monetary value, but may be redeemed through the Corporate Store for clothing, decorations, office equipment, and other pre-approved items.

3. EMAIL

Employees are encouraged to maintain regular engagement with email communications.

Corporate uses email to distribute important notices, policy updates, workplace events, Compliance Voucher opportunities, employee requests, morale initiatives, and other information considered relevant to your continued productivity.

Emails may be read, replied to, or deleted at the employee’s discretion. It is hard to say which emails are most important, so please enjoy all emails equally and do not give preference to any one email over another.

4. YOUR WORKSTATION

Bob’s workstation runs SYNERGY™, which contains everything necessary to perform his assigned duties, including email, applications, and utilities. Please explore your workstation and surrounding cubicle responsibly during periods of available bandwidth.

5. BUGS

This year’s pest-control budget was strategically reallocated toward CEO retention in recognition of exceptional leadership during a period of sustained organizational growth.

As a result, employees may encounter bugs in the workplace. Corporate apologizes for any corresponding inconveniences. Luckily, these experiences provide valuable opportunities to strengthen adaptability, patience, and solution-oriented thinking.

Please use the employee survey found on Bob’s computer desktop to report any bugs that create a toxic work environment, destroy employee records, prevent Bob from earning Compliance Vouchers, or otherwise threaten future company profitability.

CLOSING REMARKS

Caffeinated Bob is currently in beta. As part of Corporate’s commitment to continuous improvement, workplace systems may be improved, rearranged, renamed, discontinued, replaced, or determined to have never existed.

These adjustments are evidence of progress.

Caffeinated Bob is intended to complement your workday, not replace it. Keep Bob caffeinated, check in when you have a moment, explore when workload permits, and approach anything resembling additional responsibility with appropriate professional judgment.

Thank you for your continued participation. Your presence has been noted.
