The players work for the Office, an absurd bureaucracy that runs on quotas, deadlines, fines and "employee of the month" notices. Piloting quadcopter drones, a crew of up to four is sent into eerie houses to strip them of everything that can be carried. The haul is not stored: it is fed to Tally, a voracious pet creature that grows with every meal. Each term the Office raises the quota, and the houses' residents do not let their belongings go willingly.
