What do you think?

scary game for happy music

I'm hoping everything is alright! Haven't seen you active recently but I hope you're doing alright!

Whats this? Seems really interesting really, really misterious :)

Looks scary ngl

Salaryman - when all day everyday is stamping green thingies into a box for the pocket of your overlords, when bosses poke you in the eye and burp in your face, when wife and child wait for your pitiful coin, what are you going to do? Squash, electrocute and sabotage your way into a crooked world of weird characters and improbable item interactions. Play daft mini games, befriend a cardboard robot, a deranged dog-thing and a girl made of wood, infuriate a small crab man and feed cute critters into industrial machinery. Salaryman - an incredibly silly point and click adventure. Coming soon. Probably.

Features:

  • Multiple puzzle solutions - there's usually two or three ways to achieve each goal. The easiest ones might not always be the best...

  • Textless one-click interface - communicate with characters intuitively via thought bubbles and gibberish sounds.

  • Dumb animations play even if you used the wrong object.

  • Branching paths - some areas are optional or secret.

  • Real-time subgames and puzzles.

  • Lots of (often optional) silly slapstick violence and weird things.

  • No pop culture references or fourth wall breaks whatsoever.

Jolly dinner lady at salaryman’s work cafeteria. Stay quiet! She can and will use that spatula. #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #retro #pointandclick #adventure

Hi, two or three people who look at this page! Two additions to the soundtrack above. So far the soundtrack is 13 tracks strong, and I don't think that's even half of what I'll end up with. New tracks are Salaryman Fanfare and Cardboard Robot. Enjoy!

Bad guy corporate fascist overlord Colin Barnes in all his walk/talk/laugh cycle glory. #pixelart #pixelanimation #retrogame #pointandclick #indiegame #characterart #characteranimation #character #adventure #adventuregame

Meet SalaryMan’s boss, Colin Barnes. He’s a corporate fascist with his fingers in many nefarious pies. #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #indiegedev #villain #badguy #adventuregame #pointandclickadventure

Bit of lockdown art for a quiet Tuesday, here's an airship sprite which will be causing all kinds of bother towards the end of the game. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #adventure

Not updated in a while, but currently working on spot animations and music tracks. That in mind, I've uploaded a new music track, Concerning Salarymen, which plays in Salaryman's village at the start of the game. #indiedev #music

And lo, the background art was done, and Salaryman looked, and he saw that it was good. And he rejoiced, because there was only months of cutscenes and spot animations left to do, and verily music and voices too. #indiedev #retro #pixelart

And let the word go forth to the two or three people who look at this page, that today the game's final puzzle was programmed and implemented. And there was much rejoicing. Only a ton of art, animation and music to go...
