Grind
An Australian game made in 48 hours by a solo developer.
Test your multitasking skills against your peers and see who can become the 'Employee of the Month!'
Arrow or WASD keys to move. Stand next to points of interest to interact with them.
Follow the directions on screen to perform various tasks around the office.
The longer you spend performing tasks, the more 'Focus' you will generate. 'Focus' multiplies your KPI score.
There are some factors that cause you to lose focus, such as context switching, and being hungry or thirsty. Manage your distractions to meet your KPIs!
Your energy will decrease throughout the day. Try to get as much work done as possible before you get too tired to work. Don't worry if you run out of energy though, the daily grind never ends!
Chicken Castle's 2nd ever submission to Ludam Dare, and the first submission to the Compo category.

Good job conveying a monotonous feeling with the soundtrack, and having the employees be vegetables was a clever choice. At first I thought "the plants are dying" was very serious because everyone is a plant.
Having the CEO event helped me find the water coolers, because at the beginning I did not understand why the fridge and food station only helped hunger, so I like the level layout.
I still don't know how to end the day without passing out though.
