Loved it! I'm not going to spoil the story but it got pretty dark pretty quickly lol. Love the low-fi pixel art.

Absolutely adore the sprites & sounds, sets such a good hectic office mood with its frantic gameplay. Who hasn't had that "2 hours left" feeling before?

Multiple narratives add to this and makes it a lot of fun to replay and discover things! Plus, they make you do ridiculous things like deciding to dance the night away in the middle of the room while ...*spoiler*... Well, it was worth a try!

Fun little game. I've haven't managed to get all endings yet, but I'm not giving up !

It was a pretty fun sandbox game. I feel really stupid though because these comments imply I'm missing some major plot, but I literally don't know what else to try. I've played this game for half an hour and still don't know how to get any endings other than the one where you go outside and the neutral ending. If anyone can help me, I'd love to know what else this game has.

thanks all for the great comments!

@fupi : there are two more endings (four in total) for you to get! :laughing:

some tips to get them:

!> some suspicious characters will drop something for you to pick up after you have called for the guards (using the phone)!

---

!> also, there is something suspicious in the room with the broom; at some moment you have to check it out!

thank you all for playing!

@jonah Oh... Oh... ok. The game is definitely a lot more interesting now... I just want to say though I genuinely have no idea how anyone figured that out on their own. I had already found the dropped knife in my first run, but I would have never guessed that yellow thing in the broom closet did anything that required me having the knife. Whatever though, I enjoyed it, especially the different NPC systems all coming together in the two secret endings.

Got the neutral and bad endings, couldn't work out the rest, fun game anyway!

gingerbill 2020-10-05 20:58

Lovely lo-fi aesthetic and fun game. I am only able to get the bad ending, because I'm bad at the game :rofl:

I had a pretty good time with this, I really liked the pixel art and the interactions with npcs were pretty cool, I wasn't a fan of the sound though, sounded really crackly and rough over the speakers

coryru 2020-10-06 02:29

The music! The MUSIC! Soooo good. Simple but awesome. Also the Pixel art is extremely well done. I got the neutral and the bad ending gonna come back to this one and try to figure out the other endings.

I like the concept of doing something to advance the loop. I like the aesthetics and the music as well.

Hehe. I had no idea what to do the first time around. Then I called the guards on a customer. Then people started getting murdered. Then I was walking around with a knife. Found the broom. Now I'm walking around with a knife AND a broom? WTF. lol Fun game! Nice job!

The best job simulator in the world!

madbookstudios 2020-10-06 18:01

Big love for the PICO-8! Really awesome job here. The music is nice and the dancing animation is adorable. It all comes together really nicely :))

I really liked the concept, a simple but interesting little sandbox to play in. Multiple endings with different narrative implications was a great touch too. I found a few bugs, mainly NPCs not properly exiting so that column would fill up, and overall I think it was a little chaotic, maybe cutting back on the spawn rate would've helped. I also found it very difficult to get the sword, I must've played over a dozen times and could only get it once. The enemies moved through the office too quickly, and the guards randomly spawned as well as tracked behind them. Loved the aesthetic and music, had a very cool vibe to it. All in all this was a big success in my opinion!

Also, I'd like to think the office is moving along some incredibly fast roller coaster, constantly doing loops and sharp turns. That must be the explanation for all the spilled water and vomit :)

Great job, loved a lot of things about this - Looking forward to more!

tad 2020-10-07 15:53

I got murdered by an angry customer within 30 seconds. 10/10, would play again. Great job!

bonevolt 2020-10-07 17:14

Very funny little events in this game. The music is unique and catchy :)

dotsquare 2020-10-07 19:24

Cool game ! I finished it with neutral end but also bad end haha The music is neat ! 👍 Congratulations :)

blue-pin-studio 2020-10-07 21:39

I liked the concept a lot! Once you figured out what you were doing it was cool, could have used a little bit more of a tutorial but besides that it was great!

arron-fowler 2020-10-09 09:54

I could have done with a little more hand holding going into the mechanic, but I got there and it was fun. Loving the lofi pixel style.

somogy 2020-10-10 19:30

Game very well done, I liked the fun provided, good job!

gurigraphics 2020-10-10 19:48

Cool retro game and chiptune. Good Job

neowedge 2020-10-11 17:29

Funny game, congrats!

leora 2020-10-21 14:07

Good idea, I also love the style

natpat 2020-10-23 15:08

What a whacky little game! The characters were tiny but fun, and the various events that could trigger ranged from funny to absurd. I'm glad you added some hints because I got very stuck trying to find the other two endings, but enjoyed the twist when I did. The music was nice too. Good work!
