996 Tech is a two-player car racing game that challenges the conventional office experience by having players race on the toilet seats instead of in the racing simulators. Inspired by the Chinese internet slang “带薪拉屎” (paid to poop), a norm among young generations in the workplace who tend to slack off and commit as little work as possible in the office, the interaction explores the notion of escapism, lack of motivation, silent rebellion, and, more importantly, the excessive stress in the workplace.
