Out-of-office
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
Out-of-office is a short visual novel with point-and-click elements. This is a passion project - made exclusively for fun and the experience.
Stefano finds himself overcome by the boredom of a monotonous life. His friend comes to rescue and offers an escape: a cheesy office romance game. Is Stefano interested? Of course not, but he wants to trust his friend's taste (for the better... or worse).
Since Stefano is not very fortunate, escaping into a video game turned out to be way too literal. Now, the only way out is to play through the entire game. Perhaps next time he'll stick to Tetris.
- Number of endings: 2
- Estimated playtime: 1-2 hours

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS GAME SO MUCH!!!
The ending scene was so good... It touched my heart and I really enjoyed how this game portrayed themes of mental health so so much. All the characters are so fun to chat with and learn about, and the visuals are JUST SO STUNNING... I LOVE THE ARTWORK SO MUCH...
There was so much love put into this game and it really shows!
Thank you!!! Depicting the themes of mental health was one of the key objectives for this project, I'm glad you enjoyed it :]
an amazing game made by a very talented person, please keep creating! (remember to take breaks tho ♡)
this was such a great game! i love everything about the game,, the arts and the gameplay was great! the story was extremely amazing and i really love your game! thank you for making such a wonderful game!!
also i was wondering if you have an active platform where you post your works? i'd love to follow!
Thank you for your support! :]
I'm glad you asked, since I've recently created a Tumblr blog where I plan to post about my future works as well as Out-of-office stuff!
THIS IS A SUPER COOL GAME, I'm shocked lol...................
Thank you!
IT'S SO COOL!!!!!!! I thought I would get through the game quickly, but the omg, dialogues, storyline and location drawings in this game just amazed me. I was very pleased with the good drawing and the prescribed characters, I empathized with the main character and ettore the whole game, and even cried a little at the end)) You're doing a great job, keep creating, and it seems to me that you can make a bunch more good games. I'm your fan now)
Thank you!!
just finished my first playthru, i wanna start this by saying this game was everything and more than what i was expecting! (10/10!!!) what i mean by that, and sorry, yapping will occur, (because this was very moving!) anyways though I play a LOOOT of games on here, I play a lot of games in general, but my favs are always in the form of rpgmaker games. first thing that caught my attention was the art, it's expressive and beautifully stylized, such a pretty style! I opened up the game and was expecting an interesting experience already due to what the description was, but this truly was an original idea (with a wonderful plot twist at the end, from the end I got so far) and I loved every second of it. the music was awesome, the dialogue was funny and the characters were super interesting. ettore caught my interest the second he was introduced, and I was super motivated to figure out more of his character. I genuinely love games like this because while the premise is interesting, it holds relatable content, and true life stories. this will reach someone who has experienced something similar and they will be able to confide in this. wanted to get a review out there bcs this game is so new.. (as of posting..) && hopefully it'll motivate ppl to play! it's really a great game, and I can feel the love that was put into it. looking forward to (if at all) anything else the dev puts out there :]
Thank you for your kind words!
