Overworked

In “Overworked,” players step into the role of an employee navigating a chaotic, fast-paced remote work environment, where the primary objective is to complete as many tasks as possible within a workday. 

HOW TO PLAY:

Controls:

Player 1 is controlled with WASD and interacts by pressing or holding E. They complete QTE's by pressing SPACE. 

Player 2 is controlled with the arrow keys and interacts by pressing or holding SHIFT. They complete QTE's by pressing ENTER/RETURN.

Game Objective and Tasks

In the game, you’ll handle two types of tasks: "work tasks" and "to-do tasks."

• To-Do Tasks: These tasks don’t have a time limit, but they take longer to complete. You must finish all of your to-do tasks before the overall game timer runs out. If not, you’ll lose the game due to burnout.

• Work Tasks: These tasks have a set time limit, and you’ll lose client satisfaction if you don’t complete them on time. To finish a work task, you’ll need to do a quick time event (QTE), where you press a key when a circle aligns with a colored zone. If client satisfaction drops too low, you’ll get fired and lose the game.

Player Energy

Both players need to manage their energy. If one player’s energy runs out, they’ll faint and can’t move, but the other player can still try to complete enough tasks to win the round. You can recharge your energy by drinking coffee at the coffee station (hold “E” or “Shift” to drink).

Winning Conditions

To win, you need to satisfy at least 8 clients and complete all of your to-do tasks before the timer runs out.
