Double Fine goes Theme Superhero...

... or something like that, with Middle Manager of Justice.

This will be a free-ish iOS game -- meaning you'll optionally pay for upgrades and what not through micro transactions -- revolving around you taking on the role as a manager of an office full of superheros and taking part in RPG-like turn based superhero battles. Really, just read Kotaku's preview. Much better than having to read my recap of the preview.

The whole thing looks like the type of Double Fine fun we expect from the company. Office manager for superheros? It's hard to see how that can fail, as long as it's not too dependent on the micro transactions.

Update! Hey, there a website! And a trailer!

I hate to be that guy, but any word on a pc-version?

I wouldn't be surprised to see it down the road. Double Fine has been pretty good about getting its entire (non-Kinect, non-Brutal Legend) catalog on Steam over the last year.

The universe comes off as sort of DeathSpank by way of The Office, while the gameplay seems Costume Quest reminiscent. Could be a winning combination.
