Severance stars Adam Scott as Mark, an office worker for Lumon Industries in the Macrodata Refinement division who’s also part of the “severance” program – a group of employees who have undergone a medical procedure to separate their work memories from their non-work memories. Comparison to The Stanley Parable seems a bit on the nose but it’s the exact same kind of weird at play in Severance.

In fact, the entire office is just as weird, with a maze of bright hallways that seemingly lead nowhere that’s reminiscent of The Backrooms creepypasta. And that retro aesthetic is so mundane it’s weirdly unsettling. After all, it includes lots of additional keys you won’t find on a standard mechanical keyboard. The keyboard itself is already pretty weird. No escape… get it? The level of detail in Severance is utterly impressive and this weird little quirk is surely no coincidence. Nerdy, extremely appropriate thing I just noticed about set design on #Severance : the keyboards have no (visible) escape key ? /2QcOdNNYFS- Krystina Nellis ✨? April 12, 2022 Severance fan Krystina Nellis has revealed via Twitter a pretty excellent spot – that none of the keyboards in Lumon Industries’ severed floor have an “escape” key.
