Playable demo (but you shouldn’t admire it, said the hunger artist.)
Edit from the future: I overwrote the demo with the submission build. Sorry about that.
If you’ve missed my other posts, I’m making a tycoon / time management game based on Kafka’s A Hunger Artist.
Here’s what I have so far. It’s incomplete, and also ugly.

Hover over any person sprite to see some information about that person.
Hover over an action button to perform that action.
Currently activated debugging features:
- The tab button restores your energy.
- The space button toggles speedrun mode, which is unstable.
- The ` button toggles Flixel’s built in debugger.
Known incomplete features:
- People all wait until the end of the day to leave.
- People just teleport to their seats.
- People who bring their friends don’t sit next to them.
- Talking doesn’t work. The talking button causes you to sing.
- The Impresario is completely unconcerned by anything that is happening.
Bugs reported so far by players like you!:
- People are moved by singing and meditating even after you run out of energy. (Fixed in my local copy but not the demo.)
