Intern Purgatory

Explore the Brandscape and find out where brands come from. Explore the strange and wonderful world of Tough Guy Mountain, the company where brands are born. You begin as an unpaid intern, exploring different maps and uncovering stories. Inhabit your own live/work cubicle where you get unlimited food pellets and americano style coffee. Find out how this great company was born and also find out how it died.


Tough Guy Mountain is the creation of an artist collective of the same name, which has been performing and creating satirical work about socio-economics since 2013. Now their work is available for the first time as an interactive narrative world on your phone.
