Work!

Work! is an unusual indie game from Moitapecha that takes the everyday concept of employment and turns it into something suitable for a computer screen. Rather than saving the world, exploring distant planets or defeating ancient monsters, the player is faced with the considerably more terrifying prospect of simply getting through the working day. Its minimalist approach gives the game a quirky personality, while the subject matter provides plenty of opportunities for humor and observation. There is something amusingly relatable about turning ordinary workplace routines into gameplay, especially when videogames normally allow us to escape precisely those responsibilities. Work! is best appreciated as a small experimental title with a playful idea behind it, offering a reminder that even the least glamorous parts of modern life can become videogame material.
