New Hosted Game! "My Day off Work" by Andrew J. Schaefer

Great! It helped, but… "That’s an impossible task in and of itself. You’re in the middle of a big city and the car could be anywhere. Your only shot is to go on about your evening and hope to find it. It’s out there.

You’re downtown.

There’s no sign of any Ferrari. "

So… are there any other conditions required for me to actually find that car? Thanks! :wink:

Unfortunately there’s no option for going off the grid or working at a rug shop. :slightly_frowning_face:

By the way, on my search for that Ferrari, there’s another open option to check out a pop-up shop… you wouldn’t happen to know how to let that option become available? (Conditions for opening up that option?) Thanks! :slight_smile:

You wander the streets downtown(sorry not sure what time) and you hear I think a couple of people talking about it, then you have to choose the option before a certain time. Sorry for the lack of detail, but just go downtown as soon as it’s possible to do so, wander the streets till the option becomes available, then choose the option straight away.

@Monster I didn’t really check the time but at first

hit the snooze then got up and charged my phone, showered then went to beach went to pier took the key took it to locker got keys to Ferrari hanged out there for a while went downtown and took “stroll and see what I see” option(Idk what it’s called but I think it was what I wrote) then Pop up store option opened up the time after I got out was 9:00 pm… Hope it helped :slightly_smiling_face:

P. S. I’m also having hard Time finding the Ferrari played like 20 times since @CreepyPastaKitty and @Monster said they couldn’t find it I got it in my very first play through though but I don’t remember how :sweat:

Thanks for the tip on checking the timing! Oh, and I found the Ferrari yesterday which was parked at the Restaurant after midnight. Not sure if the game setting changes where the car is parked every time, but you can try if it is parked at the Restaurant uptown.

Hi everyone this is the author – thanks so much for playing and for the positive reception. Spread the word!

I actually, truth be told, didn’t know the game had been published. I submitted it half a year ago and since then it’s been a slow wait as they cleared up the backlog. There was a note the other week about achievements but I didn’t realize that was the green light. (Also been very busy with “normal” life and so the “distracteddad” thing is very apt right now.)

The world of this game is huge, but each individual game is short. It’s written that way – it’s really meant to be an entertaining time waster, like if you need something to occupy you for 15-20 minutes each morning on the train to work. So there are a ton of paths and (hopefully) a ton of interesting, provocative and funny things to find. Anyone who says they’ve figured it all out after a few playthroughs is wrong.

So any other questions or comments please feel free to share, and I’ll do my best to help you out. Otherwise happy playing and take care, Love to you all,

A.

I wanted to add, FWIW, that this was very deliberate, so thanks for picking up on it.

Sorry to post again but as I read through the comments . . . well, you know . . .

Anyway, wanted to respond that this and @Jacic’s comment are very true. This is not your typical genre. I’m not a huge fan of the more mainstream topics – my last game was about the anguish of WWI trench warfare – and just write what I like. I hope people like it but I go into it knowing that it’ll always be a niche (within a niche).

I always visualize my PC as male, but you’re free to view the PC any way you like.

You worked very hard to make it work, even if very early drafts seemed to suggest a female protagonist.

All in all, it’s definitely a great game, and I’d love to see more games in this vein.

Sorry, just seeing this. Yeah, there’s a hint. It’s a recurring phrase - you may have to play the game a few times to see it. And thanks for playing!

Thank you for the tip! =)

I’m currently stuck on the number code after the first door any tips?

I’ve spent years playing this game off and on and I’ve been looking for the code to the blue door the entire time, I doubt anyone will see this comment but if you do please post the code, or at least an in depth hint. Thanks in advance kind stranger!
