Escape Empl*yment
In a world governed by capitalism, where the dream of freedom remains a mere, distant figment of imagination, there lives a lone wolf: a hero, a truly free being.
Your objective is to survive in this world of nightmares and regain your one and only wish: FREEDOM.
As a child, life is easy and fun, but as you get older, it becomes unbearable. The moment you hit your teenage years, you become enslaved by society. Trying to survive in a modern world is like running away from misery.
In this game, you’ll be running away from societal expectations, responsibility, and the worst concept humans have ever created: minimum wage jobs. You play as Y/N and you're running away from JOBS.

Just played this game for my youtube channel and i loved playing it, great theme and graphics. Video
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it :D and about the job application on the main menu: it was originally meant to be a quit button, because the game was supposed to be uploaded as an executable.
Seems my dream was to be a gambler instead of working. I liked the main character's animation.
Thank you for playing! :)
