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.

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!
