An office sim game inspired by the film "Office Space", made for GBJam 11.

You are an office worker who just wants some space to yourself. Actually you want the whole office. Can you make all your coworkers rage-quit without getting caught?

Walk around, look at people and objects, press X/K to to interact.

Be careful, interactions with a "!" symbol should only be done when no one can see you. If there's a "!" on your head, someone can see you.

Some interactions may hurt both you and your colleagues.

Talking to coworkers unlocks new interactions.

Controls:

  • Movement (D-pad): Arrows or WASD (physical)
  • Interact/use (GameBoy A): X or K (physical)
  • Restart game (GameBoy Start): Enter
  • Volume up/down: PgUp/PgDn
  • Toggle fullscreen: F11

To open the door to the office at the start, you need to interact with the little "bell" on the lobby desk (it looks like a little +, below the printer).

Hints for finishing the game if you're stuck:

  • People hate it when you stand too close to them.
  • The water coolers can be tampered with multiple times, and there is a way to access one of them discreetly.
  • Everyone hates the bell in reception.

NOTE: The sound effects are kind of scuffed in the web build for some reason. They're better in the native builds. I had to rush the sounds and there is no music because I ran out of time :(. There are also a few visual glitches that I didn't have time to fix.
