Night Shift at the Office
The dream everyone knows: your documents are somewhere inside a government office, and you cannot get to them. Three floors, fourteen papers, no light — only your phone’s glow and the night guards’ flashlights. Step into a beam and you are seen, and the floor starts over.
Ready?
Arrow keys or WASD move you, Shift makes you run — but running can be heard. On a phone: put a finger on the field and drag in the direction you want; dragging far means running.

In real life, nothing is in the dark
Here is why the dream feels so familiar: moving to Switzerland means every office asks for papers that another office issues — and nobody tells you in advance which ones. So you really are searching in the dark, just without the night guard.
The guide asks you a few questions and turns them into the list that applies to you: which document is needed where, in what order, with which deadlines and estimated costs.
