Life's grind-dead-end jobs, endless obligations, pesky coworkers-turns into tangible foes in this indie RPG simulation. Players battle enemies using work and interpersonal skills, facing off against rival tactics that demand fresh strategies. Quests shape real outcomes like promotions, friendships, or life direction, building personal strength and allies to escape the cubicle trap.
Gameplay spans 20-25 hours with post-game challenges, a secret ending, permanent choices, and time pressures for replay. Earn cash through jobs, side gigs, or business ventures, then tackle debt or invest in savings and stocks. Recruit from nine party members, pursue marriage options for late-game twists, or go solo via key quests. Fans of choice-driven RPGs with simulation depth will find solid hooks here.
Cubicle Quest is a game about how life can suck. Dead end jobs, repetitive obligations, irritating coworkers... Cubicle Quest takes all of those things and turns them into enemies you can fight in an old-school RPG.
Adventuring in Cubicle Quest doesn't earn you levels and gold to fight some great ancient evil. Every quest has an impact on your character's life, whether it's getting a promotion at work, finding new friends, or figuring out what you want to do in life. Gain allies and personal strength until you take on the forces keeping you in your cubicle!
