About Counteroffer Defense Arena
One campaign, three promise bosses
The campaign moves in order from promotion bait to family guilt and retention checks. Each boss has four attacks, so a full run contains twelve turns and a final rank.
Clear moves beat vague promises
Every attack hides one tactic. Choose whether to demand numbers, ask for writing, confirm the timeline and current status, or set a calm boundary. Perfect counters build combo and stars; hints reveal direction at a score cost.
A fictional release valve, not negotiation advice
The lines and outcomes are fictional and run locally in your browser. The game does not decide whether you should stay, leave, accept an offer, or take legal or HR action.
FAQ
Common questions and answers about this topic.
What is Counteroffer Defense Arena?
It is a short satirical boss campaign where you identify workplace tactics and counter fictional promotion, guilt, and retention promises.
How long is one campaign?
One full campaign has three stages and twelve attacks. You can retry a failed stage without replaying cleared stages.
What does a hint do?
A hint exposes the direction of the hidden tactic and deducts promise-busting points. It does not choose a move for you.
Is this career or negotiation advice?
No. It is a fictional satire game for emotional release, not legal, HR, financial, career, or negotiation advice.
