Last Dissent, a solo developer known for blending satire and psychological horror, announced DRINK HUMAN BEANS, a surreal walking simulator with immersive sim elements where coffee, capitalism, and compliance collide. The game has just been released on Steam and invites players into a twisted corporate simulation in which a smart coffee machine decides your worth, job interviews turn into nightmares, and the path to success may cost your humanity.

What begins as an apparently “normal” day in a dystopian apartment gradually turns into a series of unsettling deceptions. Beneath routine interactions and casual coffee deliveries lies a system that manipulates every step, rewarding obedience, punishing curiosity, and slowly stripping away any sense of control.

The realization that everything is a test only comes too late, when the ordinary rhythm of daily life becomes a distorted lesson in compliance, or something even worse. The experience builds tension subtly, using repetition and strangeness to reinforce a constant feeling of surveillance and loss of autonomy.

Set in an apartment controlled by the all-powerful Y.AI Corp, DRINK HUMAN BEANS follows an unnamed applicant trapped in a simulated job application that uses murder and blackmail as performance metrics. Each day feels identical until breaking the rules reveals hidden puzzles and shows that the truth only appears to those willing to disobey.

At the core of the experience is an ongoing conflict between following orders and breaking them, leading players to question their own identity as they decide whether they are a slave, a consumer, a murderer, or just a sentient beverage. Key highlights include an interactive dystopia where the phone controls everything, hidden systems that reward transgression, multiple endings defined by disobedience, violence loaded with guilt, described as a “walking simulator with a gun,” and surreal humor shaped by paranoia and sharp criticism of corporate moral decay.
