Let Me Speak to a Manager
A downloadable game for Windows
Congratulations on starting your new position at the funeral home! It's the end of the day, and you're simply trying to finalise everything, maybe clean a little, finish the paperwork. However, this evening, the typical end-of-day routine is interrupted by the arrival of a very special client. In this first-person, retro-style horror-comedy, you'll soon realise that your own plans for the evening don't matter at all. Prepare to navigate mini-games, unmanageable requests, and a tidal wave of complaints, because tonight, her needs dictate everything – you are definitely not the main character.
This game was created for the Indie Game Clinic COLLAB JAM '25.
Our Interpretation of the Theme:
To us, "you are not the main character" means you play as the quiet, nameless employee just trying to complete the shift. You're essentially part of the scenery, NPC, an interactive object for the actual subject of this story – the demanding client. She treats you more like furniture that occasionally needs to fetch coffee or stamp forms.
How Our Team Formed and Worked Together:
We're a fresh team of three, quite inexperienced in game dev guys. Before this jam, we were kind of stuck spinning our wheels in pre-production on our main horror project (it’s about a cat!). We saw the jam as the perfect motivation – a chance to tackle a smaller scope we could actually complete, face a strict deadline to force us to finish something, and hopefully get some crucial feedback to help us learn and improve.
