About Teller’s Duty
You find yourself as a bank teller in the fictional, oppressive 1980s nation of Kertasia. Secured through a favor from your distant uncle, the branch manager, this job is your lifeline. Your daily shift will test your attention to detail and your morality.
Every day brings new rules and bizarre transaction protocols set by a dysfunctional government. You must manually count cash, calm irate customers, and use your tools to spot clever forgeries. But beyond the paperwork lies a heavy narrative: you need the job to afford life-saving medicine for your mother. Every stamp on a document has consequences, dictating who survives in this grim regime. Players worldwide can experience this crushing bureaucracy, as the game is fully playable in English, Indonesian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
