Devlog #2 - Everyone Out, now!

Before Exit: Supermarket

Before Exit: Supermarket combines features from roguelike with walking simulator. As Supermarket employee you clean up damaged items, wipe up stains, and turn off the lights. Your task is close the store behind you, hoping that all tasks have been completed.

[h2]Hello customers,[/h2] Today we want to give you some glimpse on what was on our minds when coming with design of “Before Exit” and present more upcoming content! [b]Everyone Out, now![/b] As a studio, we are working fully stationary, directly from the office. Our working hours are very flexible, so when it comes to closing the office, there is no permanent person who holds this duty. Our place is always closed by the last person to leave. That forced us to prepare a special procedure of “closing the office”, where the last person has to check if every device is switched off, windows are properly closed, the water dispenser is disconnected from the socket and so on. Of course, no one is getting fired for forgetting one or two things, but BETTER REMEMBER TO DO THAT!

It just felt like a basic gameplay loop - after all the hard work of the day there is only one last checklist to complete, and “That’s it!”. But did you remember about closing up the window in the conference room? Or turn the keyhole of the door? Those are feelings that come back to you every time, and I’m sure that you all know how it feels. I bet every one of you who read this has had to go back to their front door at least once to make sure it's locked properly!

Fear of consequences. Relief when all went well. You'll check if we succeeded soon!
