I decided to brainstorm a little bit of the game early as I couldn’t resist. So, here is what I have so far, and it will change as I work on the idea, but something to get me started through the ideas.

Game Name: Key, the Bored Warrior

In a monotonous call center, Key, a disillusioned worker, discovers a hidden power: the ability to manipulate reality with a keyboard and mouse. What starts as a prank on a coworker quickly escalates into a thrilling quest for power and adventure. Take on the role of Key, the Bored Warrior, and battle through the corporate hierarchy, from bored employee to the ambitious CEO. With only a small fanny pack to carry their weapons, each choice is crucial for survival. Get ready for an endless cycle of strategy and discovery in this top-down survivor roguelite!

Game Genre: Top-down Survivor Roguelite
Game Engine: GameMaker
Platform: PC/HTML5
