SAVE ME FROM 9-5

SAVE YOURSELF FROM 9-5

SAVE EVERYONE FROM 9-5

This is a fast-paced, panic inducing life sim of a dev during GMTK Game Jam (who has a full time job) (A 9-5 JOB, OH MY GOD). Keep working, maintain your sanity, don't collapse, and most of all... find the passion buried underneath it all.


### CONTROLS

Movement: WASD

Interact: E

Special Interaction: Left Mouse

### TUTORIAL

Day 1

Your main goal is to fill up your game progress bar. You win the stage when progress reaches 100%.

Do this by working with the computer.

You lose when you run out of Health or Sanity. You can also hover your mouse over status effects to see what they do.


Pet your Pets to restore your Sanity, and workout on the Gym Mat to restore Health.


Everyone needs to eat, else you'll starve and lose both Health and Sanity. Remember to cook early since it takes a long time!

Be quick! Stay up past 1 A.M makes you Sleep Deprived. It is the #1 cause of failure~!

Day 2

Oops, you were too into game dev, and forgot to shower! You stink at work!

Shower once a day to not lose Health and Sanity!


Also, remember to drink water! You don't want to get Dehydrated! You can get drinks from the Drinks Cabinet:


Day 3

The trauma is resurfacing... You remember why you were so risk adverse. You remember why you didn't pursue your passion. You remember how life is like a joke.

You studied hard, tests after tests, jobs after jobs. And yet it was all at the mercy of the market. You are simply nothing.

Your trauma has resurfaced.

Day 4

The fatigue kicks in.

How long can you hold your resolve?
