A Day at Work
Ryan Foltz, foltz@mix-net.net
What is it?- A Day at Work can most accurately be described as a small town simulator. You play as Tom. Tom works at Office Inc., where he is paid to type up lengthly reports about nothing and photocopy them. What is the plot?- I guess that was the plot. Oops.But the catch is that you don't have to go to work, you can visit the hospital, Al's store, the bank, and other buildings. Hidden somewhere around the town are dangerous weapons, and illegal goods, and thousands of dollars. It's up to you to decide what Tom will do.
