We Live in a Society by 1samuel411

[raw]
made by 1samuel411 for LD 44 (COMPO)

We Live in a Society is a 2D story game taking you through the life of an office worker who faces many hardships that ultimately lead to his suicide.

This is a game I made in 48 hours, I would have loved to have had the time to make music and sound effects but I ran out of time.

You think the player character has it bad? his coworkers are before him at the office and stay later as well!

Loved it. It fit the theme pretty well. It was kind of depressing, but that's necessary if you want to tell a story like this. Like I said, I loved it. I really liked how the graphics sort of, matched, the game. Well Done :)

Would've benefited from audio quite a lot! Such a depressing and sad story. Love the visual style!

Well, that was depressing, but so good. I guess, it's not for everyone, but I love it. Great choice pf style. So sad that there's no music, but it feels like I can hear it!

I hope you're ok @1samuel411 ! The graphics are really nice. I noticed that light in the windows shows that the days pass. Maybe a clock would have been more clear on that part?
Music & audio would have made a lot of difference here probably.
Good job anyway! Hope you make something with a little more positive tone next time! :smile:

Nice art style. Some sombre music would have been great.

Short story but the meaning is deep. The most disturbing thing about all this are the cameras following you 24/7, it's kinda unsettling as a situation. However good graphics, it's just sad that you didn't have time to add some music. Good job!

I thought that the art looked very nice. However the story was too slow for me and the gameplay was quite limited. In which case good music/audio is very important.

Super interpretation of the theme, that was one I thought of !
Beautifull graphics and good story with those texts.
As you say, to bad the music isn't there, could really have push your game to the next level and set even more mood.
Solid entry and congratulations ! :clap:

So sad, Also predicted the ending. Def needs music but the graphics were really nice and unique. I tried to break the cycle but it wouldn't let me ;_;

Wonderful job on the mood and graphics, I was expecting him to go to bed as usual at the end, I guess I was trapped in the same routine as him 🙂

Your light particles are awesome too by the way ❤

Very powerful game. Not only tells a solid story about being trapped in the cyclical nature of an office worker, but also being trapped in the cyclical nature of depression. Very well done.
