Great Fun - and Replayable 

This game was my favorite entry in the one-room competition. I happily played it several times, trying to improve my score. Well written, a great read, a fun play, and a good use of Adrift. Highly recommended.

Very similar in structure and setting to the author's game Paint!!!, A Day At The Office is a short, goofy office comedy which will probably need several replayings before you'll get the best possible score. I found the sequence of actions slightly more sensible than the ones in Paint!!!, but otherwise they're very much on the same wavelength. 

A Day At The Office suffers from some of the usual ADRIFT parsing problems, but makes a nice snack-sized game if you're willing to deal with that.

Fun game. Remember to put in some text for what happens when you haven't got a task requirement fulfilled, I was screaming bloody murder at the computer because I couldn't plug the telephone in, and it didn't know what I was talking about. Then it turned out that I hadn't yet examined the cabinet that time through the game. The game, for some reason, didn't end once I finished my work and was appointed God. 

Score: 27 of 40
