From Rush Hour to Cosmic HQ - The Commute Escalation

The commute is the campaign: rush hour → flooded city → suspicious desert → cosmic HQ. The official description names the arc — an ordinary bad day at work escalating to an absurd cosmology, with the attendance bonus as your compass. (Source: Steam store page)

What Is Confirmed?

• Rush hour — the opening war of the commute.
• A flooded city — “escaping” is the official verb.
• A suspicious desert assignment — corporate business, officially suspect.
• The company’s cosmic HQ — the terminus, where the overtime question is settled cosmically.
• Across all: “absurd encounters” and “corporate secrets”. (all: official page)

What Each Stop Implies for Combat (community analysis)

Knockback combat lives and dies by environment — see our combat guide — and the official set pieces are environments first: rush hour means vehicles and crowds (mobile hazards); a flooded city means water as the great slam-target; a desert means sparse cover and long sightlines; cosmic HQ presumably means physics itself gets weird. The level list is a physics syllabus. (levels official; reading community)
