Another Day At Work
About
Created for the ACM Studio Jam 2024 under the theme “Break the Cycle.” This pixel‑art narrative game explores how empathy can disrupt repetitive, toxic cycles in the workplace.
My Role
Solo developer: pixel art, gameplay vibe programming, dialogue system implementation
Tools
Unity • Visual Studio • Photoshop
Gameplay
Players alternate between two scenes:
Coworker conversations, where dialogue reveals that employees are being fired one by one.
Sorting mini‑game, where mistakes lead to termination and a return to the main menu.
After three days, the final level becomes intentionally impossible, forcing a confrontation with the boss. The cycle only breaks if the player offers him a plushie, a small act of kindness that softens him and ends the loop.
Process
I felt stuck in my own routine when I joined the jam, so the theme resonated deeply. I wanted to explore how one might break out of cycles not through rebellion, but through empathy. Crafting the right story was the hardest part. I really wanted to learn how to build a dialogue system in Unity, so that challenge inspired the narrative. Through this project, I discovered how mechanics and dialogue can work together to create emotional impact.
