Beyond the Workshop Demo

Beyond the Workshop

Ethan is a repair technician.

He fixes devices.

He goes home.

He comes back the next day.

For years that was enough.

Until one day it wasn't.

An RPG about work and routine.

You play as Ethan, a repair technician trying to get through another day.

You'll repair devices, deal with customers, and with whatever else ends up in your way.

The story is told through what happens around Ethan and what he chooses to do.

Repair and keep going.

Ethan isn't a warrior, he's a repair technician. 

His main tool is his screwdriver: you'll use it to fix devices, and if it comes to that defend yourself.

Combat is turn based and straightforward.

Features:

• Story driven RPG.

• Turn based combat.

• Simple RPG progression and abilities.

• A story that gradually takes you far beyond the game's initial setting.

• A cat.

Notes

This started as a story inspired by my own experience with burnout and boreout. At first it was mostly something that made me laugh but after a ton of rewriting to make it work as a game and way too much overthinking, it ended up becoming a much more serious story than I expected. 

The game is still in development, some things are subject to change before release. This is a story driven game, visuals and audio will likely improve but they've never been the point.
