Tick Tock by Dudum Lare
How To Play
You work in an office and your goal is to perform tasks in order to prove to your boss that you aren't a slacker. If you're not able to perform all tasks before the end of the day, you get fired.
You've found a way that might be your last hope for keeping this job: turning back the clock, which enables you to get more work done. But this begs for stealth, if your boss sees you, you will for sure need to kiss the office goodbye.
You control your player with WASD or the ARROW-keys.
There are six different types of tasks, you simply perform them by walking to the objects included in the task and stay there until it's done.
You turn back the time by standing by the clock. It will slowly go backwards. You can do this until it is back at 9.
This is where the different tasks are located:
Coffee Task
The coffee machine is in the upper left corner of the office.
Printing Task
The printer is on the right side of the office.
Talking Task
Find the coworker and chill with them for a bit.
Writing Task
You write reports on the computer in your cubicle, the upper left one.
Stock Task
You check the stocks at the same place as you write the report.
Vending Machine Task
The vending machine is located at the bottom left corner of the office.
The game ends when you run out of time or get caught by your boss. Til then: collect points by completing tasks. The clock is ticking, get to work! :smile:

(-) It lagged a few times and I think I had 2/5 game overs when I was not in the view cone of the Boss (the Boss, hehe)
The art / animation is very consistent and neat, the gameplay is clear if simple.
A little confused by the premise, as I thought initially that you only get fired if you are seen near the clock, but it looks like you are fired if the boss simply sees you anywhere in the office. This is fine gameplay wise (would actually be too simple if it was only near the clock) but not very logical as a story element.
Some bugs:
The task list overflows easily and then it's hard to see what the newest task is.
It also looks like sometimes tasks simply stop working even if they are still showing on the right.
Very funny game. I love the "Sims" talk
