Dreadlines

One unemployed morning, an email lands in your inbox: You got the job! You don't know the company or remember applying, but you've been jobless for too long.

Dreadlines is a monster office dating sim about connections, deadlines and falling for your undead coworkers. Answer emails, survive small talk, that sort of thing.

Vivian Elricson, CEO

Centuries old. Devastating in a boardroom. Cannot operate a computer without help.

Penny Stein, Secretary

Surprisingly warm and patient. Her heart might not beat, but that doesn't mean it's not big.

Amara Vargas, Customer Relations

Sharp, unimpressed, and the only reason anything in this building functions. Hates when people look right through her.

Three romance routes
Painfully dry humor
A blank slate protagonist: You are the new hire, whoever you are. Every route is possible either way
Choices that stick: Trust builds quietly in the background. Small choices matter!
Minigames, like a typo hunt and a first-person shooter segment: Yes, really
A hand-drawn cast and a retro UI: Expressive sprites and chunky nineties windows
Something in the walls: The 4th wall is made to be broken, and the game is hiding more than it admits
Emotional depth in places you might not expect right away
