Start a solo shift
Check the client and connection
Use the account and game/test entry that you are entitled to launch. The official requirements include broadband internet even though single-player is a supported mode.
Choose a solo run
The October 5 narrator uses the host option to play by himself and describes a private-match alternative. Follow the solo/host control offered by your installed build; do not assume that it adds bot coworkers.
Take a desk and answer calls
Enter the call floor and log into a workstation. The recording describes both voice and manual typed input for the fictional caller.
Read your day’s target
Use the quota displayed in your run. After a credited earning event, compare the money total with that target before treating the day as successful.
Close the day and read the review
The September 23 solo recording reaches the target, clocks out, attends the review and advances to day two. Use the review’s stated result and next-day state as the completion check.
For the office and call flow in more detail, follow the beginner guide.

What changes when you play without friends
In the solo recording, one player handles the calls and proceeds through the workday. Group recordings show coworkers taking their own calls and sharing the review. A solo run gives you the whole conversation to manage without coordinating desk work with another player.
Rybolt calls the displayed solo quota low for one person in the September 23 recording. That is a dated observation, not a published formula for how quotas scale with party size. The reviewed primary material does not establish bots, a fixed solo multiplier or a universal difficulty comparison.

AI usage and later days still matter
The optional Unlimited AI service has the same account-eligibility distinction: you must already have playable access. Its coverage does not create a solo admission route.
Use daily quota and review to close the day, then progression to interpret the unlocks the boss actually announces for your next one.
