How does the game fit the theme?
As soon as we saw the theme, we immediately thought of Murphy's Law: Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. This short game is our interpretation of that idea. You do tasks in an office setting. You can do the tasks wrong, and you get a consequence, but even if you do a task correctly, someone else can do the tasks wrong and they get the punishment. No matter what situation, something always ends up going wrong, whether it's your doing or not.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
None! Everything is from scratch. Boco did all of the code in UE5, and keni did all the art in blender and adobe illustrator.

Glad my job isnt in an office like this haha! Really creepy vibe in the office halls. No idea how you did the three tasks in 53 seconds! I feel like just walking to the paper room and back took longer haha.
Really nice job! This could definitely be expanded upon! With more tasks and maybe more interactions, either in the hallway or on the computer. Maybe even Dave emails back haha
Looking forward to seeing what ye do with it in the future!
Thank you so much!!! We will definitely keep updating it >:D
Nice game keep it up guys !!!

We definitely want to expand on this game after the reviewing period is over. It's our first game, and even though it's not super polished, I'm happy we were finally able to make something!
I found 2 of the endings I think! Fun little game and it looks GREAT! Glad my office isnt that creepy lol. Good luck!
