aBOUT THE PROJECT
Taking place entirely at the main character’s desk, you guide them as they embark on their journey to becoming a beloved stand-up comedian.
However, balancing the little free time you have to chase your dreams while also managing a day job and everyday responsibilities is no easy feat. Through limited windows of time and novel in-world minigames, players must write and refine jokes, book venues, and, of course, be ready for the stage.
Through pressure-inducing negative UX, the player will have to navigate personal relationships, fatigue, and inspiration. All of which can have both a positive and a negative impact on the quality of their work.
After all, nobody said that creating your dreams was easy… And the clock is always ticking.
