Oof, this is very effective. Critical hit! This player has fainted.
The narrative design with the colors and their fading work really well!
Well done!
Amazing game
Aesthetics and sound remind me of old RPGMaker heavy hitters like Yume-Nikki, congratulations! It isn't easy to have something so artistically pleasing with such a reduced palette and number of shapes.
The game is also deeply depressing. Being caught in the dream -> work -> bills loop on repeat is something we all can relate to, and that feeling is conveyed in such a clean, concise manner, without pretentions or the need of long, rambling, walls of text. Wow.
Very nicely done.
I got stuck in an endless cycle of working to stay alive while being to broke to live, then I sat down at my computer and played this game!
Excellent work, very simple, yet effective. Great work on a small but meaningful game. I loved that the Clock Out button that the protagonist loved so much quit making sound, a very subtle yet impactful difference!
Game Over
Thank you so much for playing and for your words! I see you found every little detail, even the game over easter egg :)
Jugar a esto ha sido horrible, resuena tanto que duele, diria que muchas gracias por el jueguito pero ¿es lo correcto? jaja
Ains, me da mucha penita que haya tanta gente identificándose con el dolor y la rabia que me llevó a hacerlo pero bueno, al menos nos entendemos y acompañamos asà que... ¿de nada? jajaja :) muchas gracias por jugarlo!
The cursed cycle.. well done!
the sadness is real with this one, thanks! it's amazing
My favourite one so far.

Really well done! The monotony and senselessness is on point. The art style is also quite nice and fitting well together. The only thing I could imagine adding would be that you can actually work up to the 500$ if you are insanely perseverant - only for the music to not be a way out at all, like getting a few cents more per day or something from streaming.
Like it a lot :)
this game made me so incredibly sad. really well done!!
very cute, love the cyclical and mondrian-ish design of the outside ^^ ive become a super efficient worker!
