That was a fun game to play! At first, I wasn’t really sure what I was supposed to do, so I didn’t survive lol. But once I understood it, I managed to survive. Great job!

Great game, I love the concept and the art is great

Submitted

i love the concept and the audio is very fun, but i will admit i didnt get past finding the stapler in the drawer because i'm not sure what i'm supposed to do, i cant follow the colleague to the other room and there's no other interactable objects? pls help

Developer

There's a room to the right, I probably should have indicated that somehow

Fun game, the soundtrack is great :>
GODOT IS ADDING CUPS WHEN RE-ENTERING THE ROOM! This has cured my boredom :D

The "music" is just me saying "wom wom" into my laptop's built-in microphone XD

the audio really sells the theme. good little point and click adventure. i'll admit i was not able to survive. i got the stapler in jelly, but not sure where to get the pay off for that.

Yes, I'm aware that the game lacks some clues to guide the player, I just didn't know how to do it in a natural way. Btw the stapler in jelly is supposed to be put in the drawer.

Bro, that is literally all of us. I like the art style; it fits a game about slacking off really well. Overall, some things—and how to interact with them—aren't very obvious. Since there wasn't an extra screen in the left corner, I didn't bother checking the right corner for a long time—but it turned out there was a screen there. It could have used some kind of visual cue.
Well done!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!

Cool idea for an office prank, I'll go and do these exact things in real life and see how it goes

This game gives me nostalgia. I really like the aesthetic

This is so silly! I love it. I love the theme of you're so bored, you're just trying to figure out what you can make fun out of the game. Really clever and creative idea. I loved walking back and forth around the office with my coworker haha. Well done!

Thank you so much, yours is my favorite too out of the games i played (for now), you nailed the pacing and length!

Fun game, great art style! Reminds me of some original flash games back in the early 2000s. Figured out how to use the pen and stapler.
