But make sure that you don't dissappoint your boss, who will send you your tasks via e-mail.\r\n\r\nThis is a small story based game. Having programmed for 5 game jams this time I restricted myself to programmer art and an authoring tool aimed at non-programmers.\r\n\r\nThe game has a clear ending which can be reached in approx. 5 minutes if you know what to do. It is controlled almost entirely by mouse, with the exception of a single task. If you are stuck at one of the tasks a Skip-button will appear after some time.\r\n\r\nCreated by Christian Reuter at TU Darmstadt (Multimedia Communications Lab) using the authoring tool StoryTec and it's associated player application.","title":"Personal Growth"}
