Simon Says (2024)
Four people are competing in a game of Simon Says, each hoping to secure one of the three available positions at a highly competitive job. At first, it seems like a fair challenge, but as the game progresses, it becomes clear that the rules aren't as simple as they seem. The game is rigged-much like the societal work system. Despite following the rules, making the right moves, and doing everything expected of them, the players begin to realize that the game isn't truly about skill or fairness.
