BureauCRAZY! is a cooperative one-page RPG that thrusts players into a satirical, high-stakes bureaucratic nightmare, where the ordinary meets the absurd.
As the lead graphic designer, my mission was to translate the suffocating, mundane
“bureau-crazy” of the setting into a tactile visual experience.
The core inspiration for the visual identity came from the most unlikely (yet perfectly fitting) of places: post office standard flyers. I leaned into the “institutional” look to evoke an immediate sense of recognition.
By utilising a restricted palette, utilitarian typography, and the cramped layout of government forms, the design itself becomes a mechanic of the game: forcing players to navigate the “Identity Card” just as their characters struggle through the office.
The deliverables were: the One-Page Rule Sheet, dense of information and satirical branding; the RA, character sheet designed for quick fill-in and maximum immersion.
