How does your game fit the theme?
The player is calm in the beginning and gets progressively more and more stressed while finishing tasks in the office, if he gets too stressed, he loses the game (the storm)
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I only used asset https://vnbp.itch.io/low-poly-3d-office-set-vnb for the office and some sounds from freesound.org, otherwise all code is done by me

The game was very well done. The sounds were very stress inducing!
Amazing game, loved the concept and gameplay, really enjoyed it and was honestly stressful keeping up with all the tasks, amazing work well done :D
Our game was similar in implementing a task based system, but yours executed it much better imo!! This indeed gave me flashbacks from my office on a friday eve xD But a lot of content with great polish to it.. kudos!
I'm stressed! I never want to play this game again, but in a good way. I like how as I'm solving the match equations or typing on the app, the phones start ringing and I, in real life, get stressed about it. Very nice execution. I don't really have much negative to say. Improvement wise, I would make the warping of the player moving left and right only start occurring when stress gets higher, would really sell the "Oh god I'm overwhelmed!" feeling. Super solid submission for the jam, though!
The telephone is the most irritating path and just like real life. Doesn't let us work in peace :(
Really good execution for the jam. Guess I enjoyed reliving my sweet office life in this game. I for one thought that some ghosts are going to come or the computer will jump towards me if I dont work. The atmosphere is also well done!!
Kudos!! :D
This one was great. The sounds and pacing of everything really felt stressful as hell. Just as you finished one task another one or two popped up. The phone ring was perfectly annoying too. I glitched the typing minigame and couldn't keep going, but it was still great. Fantastic job!
this game is stressful but not too stressful. i had fun playing this, really good work!
ive seen other jam games just make their game down right painful to play but this one is playable while keeping the stress at the same time.
once again great work on this game!
The game did a really good job on actually getting me stressed lol. but i did find a few bugs, like me not being able to interact with the computer for some reason and the fact the mouse isn't locked by default. But besides that this was a great submission. Well done!
I had a problem where the mouse was locked always in windows export, but on the html export it didn't, you had to start with fullscreen on or use the computer to lock it in. Will try adding some self diagnose thing where it will check if the mouse is actually locked or not. Thanks for pointing that out!
Love the idea! I think one of the computer glitched at some point I couldn't interact with it. But other than this it's a great way to interpret the them! I had fun!
That's a cool idea! I was really stressed when all the phones rang xD
Fun concept and very cool vibe, there definitely needs to be a mouse sensitivity slider but that’s a minor thing to fix. I love these kinds of task based games, well done!
i liked the concept of the game but the camera made me motion sick XD but the game is really solid!
Wonder whose job this is. Stressful indeed!
- This scores very high on game feel. Really immersive.
- Found the typing to be the most annoying. It takes a long time, and there’s an endless stream of paragraphs to type.
- Then the telephones start ringing. You have to answer them, listen to gibberish, and put the phone down. Pretty accurate depiction of reality ;) (Although the squeaky voice was a nice touch. Somehow soothing actually, in the middle of all the stress).
- Would be nice to have some indication of progress. Hope there’s an end to the game :)
Overall well made commentary/simulation of a stressful situation.
Thank you for your review! Making the tasks annoying was partially part of my plan, since it was supposed to evoke anger and stress even in YOU as the player, challenging you to stay calm in this stressful situation and not become the storm, but I'll try to make some improvements to it. Currently there's not a proper ending, but will definitely add one later. Thank you!
