You wake up after a hard night of drinking and partying only to remember that you forgot to book today off as Annual Leave.

You crawl to work but only have twenty seconds to get to your desk before you're late and the boss sacks you. To make things worse the company, in their utmost wisdom, have not told you which desk you're sitting at today so you've got to find it. 

If the boss catches you he'll smell the booze on your breath and sack you on the spot. Your colleagues, as well meaning as they are, will also hinder your journey to your desk.

Oh, one more thing, your legs are not working as they should do. Fifteen Babychams will do that to a man. So the controls are:

N - Right

S - Left

F - Up

W - Down

Mwhahahaha!

Can you make it to your desk, wherever that is, where you'll be safe to sleep off the hangover?



This game is a homage to the wonderful "Simulators" from the 1980s coded in the bedroom of David and Richard Darling - the founders of Codemasters. As a kid we'd wait impatiently every month for Your Sinclair to come out to see what new simulator game Codemasters had come up with, often making bizarre ones up for fun. 

The game isn't as tricky as it seems. Imagine it as a Rogue-Like game. Die and keep trying! You'll get there in the end. Probably.

A couple of uses of AI in graphics. Mainly the boss sprite and the intro graphics.

Sounds from various places over the net. The wonderful office pixel graphics were done by 2dPig.


There are a couple of Easter Eggs you can find. One of them can be found by clicking on a piece of office-space frustration*. 


I've still got to iron out a few bugs, but these actually allow you to complete the game a little easier if you run across them. So I think I'll leave them in for the time being.

If you still can't get the hang of the controls I've made a trained version with infinite time and WASD controls here
