How does your game apply the limitation and theme?
I interpreted the word "mundane" as literal as I could, and I developed a small life-simulator, where you have to do "mundane" things, such as eat, sleep, have fun and go to work. Your stats "decay" with time, and also if you do some actions that, in real life, would affect these _stats_ the same way.

Maybe I'm stupid, but I really didn't manage to do the job minigame... What are you supposed to do? It seems I get fired no matter what I do, even if my stats are fine. I do really like the idea of just having a life simulator, the setup quite reminded me of those classic Newgrounds Flash games.
Very accurate depiction of real life, good job! (｀ω´)
Especially the "not enough cash" part, I feel that at a personal level (-“-;)
I'm not sure if I was supposed to drive the car but the controls were really sensitive, like I would slightly touch the up input and I would move by a lot.
The idea seemed fun, but it was hard to go through.
Reminds me of the classic Stick RPG. Very fun watching my character cyclically decay until they get fired.
A realistic simulator indeed! lol
I loved the rusty feeling.
There are some bugs, like the car get out of the screen (btw, this guy is crazy! he drives against the traffic! hahaha), but that always happens on jams.
And that was basically my life before the pandemic! Wake up, drive to work, work, play video games, eat some pizza and sleep again. It was the most accurete life sims I ever played! haha
Congrats!
Haha awesome, thanks for your feedback! Glad you enjoyed it :D
