Step into Release Ops and survive a week on code review duty.

From 9:00 to 17:00, your whole job is triaging an endless queue of pull requests. Approve clean diffs to keep features shipping, but catch the risky ones before they explode in production — and before your manager loses patience.

Balance three competing meters to keep your job:

• 🧯 Production Stability – Too many bugs in prod and things start catching fire.
• 🚀 Delivery Velocity – Say “no” too often and you’ll be blamed for blocking the roadmap.
• 📊 Manager Satisfaction – Walk the tightrope between speed and safety… or get fired.

Each in-game day brings new rules and trickier PRs: security crackdowns, performance scares, missing tests, rushed hotfixes, and more. Read the diff, spot the bug patterns, and decide: Approve or Request changes?
