soft locking yourself has been a staple of the selectacorp games. it was even easier in old games for two reasons: every game had a death timer decremented by every action taken, and the game had a lot of trap actions to waste them. you were kinda expected to keep meticulous notes and just restart the game (i guess) a lot. or catch a walkthrough.I think you may want to consider playing the old HTML5 games. I generally agree that my favorite part of the story is the "base" game and the global nature of it is a bit too much scope for the premise. There are things I like about them, particularly the Singapore extension and the use of real people, but I get that they are probably not everyone's cup of tea.
It also kind of makes the game extremely unwieldy. I've been trying to replay the game again to experience the final content, but it's just been hard managing all the new systems in this engine where you can accidentally do things out of order and soft lock yourself. The old games were simple, but if you were into taking over a company and slowly corrupting the women who worked in it, it's great.
