**The sterile air of Meeple Headquarters thrums with a low, anxious hum. Steve Cobs, the corn-headed CEO, sits frozen in his executive chair, his black limbs clamped around your chassis with a vise-like grip. Hours have dissolved.

The silence is punctuated only by the tinny, repetitive chirps of the game.**
