Productivity
Short game created in Bitsy, about how the need for constant "productive" can be more of a fear than a motivator.
Anyway stop glorifying working until you burn yourself out basically
Also if I had more time I would've made the clock more dynamic/act like a real clock but alas
To structure my story, I used the reconverging plot method, for my choices. I chose this structure because the goal of my game was to convey the idea that some of the time, no matter how hard to try to be productive, sometimes you're just unable to do the things you know you "should" be doing. The goal was to use the reconverging plot to create the illusion of choice while not actually including any "real" choices. The game only progresses in one way, and just like in real life, time only moves quickly when you don't want it to, and sometime's it's just impossible to tear yourself away from certain "unproductive" tasks.

When the game said "you spend a little time on your phone" ouch, that hurt.
Excellent work with the game! Time really flies by when you are having fun (and it's important to rest from all the work!)
WOW this game was so powerful omg...i totally agree with what you said about stop glorifying yourself til u burn out!!! and the way you told the story and wrote all the dialogue for the choices felt so realistic for the inner monologue you have when you DO take breaks! overall i love this game and i love your color palette and i love this message!!!
hello! very cool. it seems like when you do one of the productive tasks it repeats and makes you do it again until you are forced to do the unproductive task. idk if that's what you wanted or not.
