I've been thinking a lot about this multi-media trend that I've been calling "cryptobureaucracies", that feels like a close cousin to halogencore. I'm looking at Loki, Severance, and the game CONTROL -- all of which feature these halogencore-style offices which house companies that do inscrutable things that require lots and lots of paperwork. The protag spends a lot of time exploring "what the fuck do they even do here?" and encountering bizarre revelations that only serve to make the world more confusing.

Any thoughts on a better name for this micro-micro-genre?
