Project Title: Department of Unseen Affairs

Brief Synopsis: Alex Mercer just wanted a steady government job — dental, pension, and no explosions. Instead, he reports to the Department of Unseen Affairs: a crumbling bureaucracy where ghosts punch timecards, werewolves complain about overtime, and the coffee machine occasionally levitates. His new colleagues include Claude, a centuries-old vampire with the attitude of a jaded tax auditor; Lila, a caffeine-fueled witch running HR like a crisis hotline; Gary, a snarky werewolf perpetually one paperwork error away from a full moon meltdown; and Gail, a human receptionist who’s seen

too much and stopped caring around 1958. On his first day, Alex joins Claude’s team for what should be a routine case — auditing a ghost still filing tax returns centuries after death. But when Alex accidentally breaks a mystical seal during the inspection, he unleashes a chain reaction that turns the entire office into ground zero for bureaucratic hauntings. Files fly, chairs revolt, and one possessed couch stages a minor uprising. As Claude’s deadpan leadership and Lila’s improvised magic barely hold things together, Alex realizes this agency isn’t just haunted by ghosts — it’s haunted by secrets.

As the supernatural chaos escalates, the team battles spectral paperwork, vengeful office supplies, and the creeping suspicion that something far older than the Department is waking up. Between exorcisms, budget meetings, and HR reprimands, Alex begins to see his bizarre coworkers as something like a family — dysfunctional, immortal, and occasionally on fire. When the hauntings lead back to a red-sealed file stamped CLASSIFIED: The First Case of Unseen Affairs, Claude’s carefully controlled past threatens to resurface. The deeper Alex digs, the clearer it becomes that the Department was built on something darker than bureaucracy — and some ghosts don’t stay buried forever. Equal parts supernatural satire and workplace comedy, Department of Unseen Affairs blends the absurdity of office life with the eerie logic of the paranormal. Beneath the jokes and hauntings lies a story about people — living and undead — who are just trying to keep the world running, one cursed form at a time.
