Microaggressions become literal monster in this horror game. 'Clock Out at 2' is a choice-matters horror putting visuals to the overly common POC femme negative office experience.In the fluorescent-lit corridors of corporate America, Afro-Latina character Celia navigates a daily minefield of microaggressions, unwanted touches, and casual racism.This isn't just another workplace drama, it's a groundbreaking roguelike narrative that transforms the real-world experiences of women of color into an interactive, intensely relatable horror story.The diverse, predominantly POC development team brings authenticity to every aspect of Celia's journey. "Our mission with Clock Out at 2 is to raise awareness about workplace trauma and the importance of mental health, particularly for marginalized communities."

working on the zine for this years GIGF and remembered my favourite page from last year

Hey!
· i just wanna say it's never been easier
to start making games, there's lots of free
tools for folks just starting out. make weird
games, make something you want to
see! even just as a hobby, even just for yourself
or your friends, donʼt listen to the  grind-set youtubers, ignore market demands,
ignore demographics, ignore payment companies,
'Good Game Design' is a myth, art can't be
made out of 'best practices', all design decisions
are specific to the game you are making.
games are a nascent art form, we've barely
scratched the surface of what they can express!
hopefully by creating more spaces like
this we can showcase the incredible things
being made and make people come away thinking
'maybe i could make a game!'
