A downloadable game for Windows

Important note: Not specified in tutorial, but to relive your bladder you must press shift!

If tutorial is stretched for you, here is the basic gameplay: Click on email icon and then press appropriate key to answer to emails. This fills up work done in your phone. To open your phone use escape (same for closing). If you complete enough work before a deadline you complete a piece of work. Failing to do so increases stress. Generally speaking you need to keep your stress levels down so you dont breakdown. Every so often distractions will come up: phone messages gradually increase stress, coffee breaks can be beneficial but can make you lose time, and computer problems usually just mess with your ability to complete your work. Additionally you have a bladder bar that fills up, and you might want to relieve yourself regularly with shift, or a full bladder could have some bad consequences

The Game

In this nerve racking PC game, you will need to work through emails, avoid distractions, and please your colleagues, all to avoid lapsing into a nervous breakdown. Reply to emails, answer to phone messages, have a coffee break, or simply go to the toilet, you'll need to manage your time effectively to stay healthy.


The Jam

This game was created for the occasion of the 48h 2020 GMTK game jam, with theme "Out of Control". We've attempted to follow this theme by portraying stress and the speed at which things that are normally in your control can lapse out of your reach.


The Team

The game was made by a team of 4, though the artist of the team had to leave before the deadline. On coding, Pankaku (find his work at https://pankaku.itch.io/) and myself. On art, Virtue.  And on music, Paquito, or "My Friend Emily", who scored her first game with this jam! (and SFX by me). It was really fun to make the game all together.
