Beat of the Atrium
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
It’s a strange day at the office, and you’re a temperamental office worker.
You and your (one-sided) Office rival are assigned a project, investigating the green house of the company building. A simple in and out job goes south as the rot spreads quickly, if the plants die you’d definitely get that cut out of your paychecks, but discovering the cause might not be worth the price.
You both quickly realize things are way out of both your pay grades.

Very nice, quick game! I like the characters, and didn't see the twist coming! I like how you used the time constraint of the jam (presumably) to inform the style of the game. I got a lot of ideas here for my own game, gui-wise!
Thanks so much!! I'm so happy you like my two sillies and got surprised by the twist!! That made my day! Yesss I tried to make sure our game was doable in the 10 days we had (we joined late) I hope your game goes well! <3
I love the point&click elements and Thorne is such a cutie. The horror elements were also well-executed. Nice work!
I loved this so much!! (even tho I lowkey got scared because mc looks sooooo much like me lol, made the experience more immersive honestly)
I love Thorne and especially love how mc is oblivious and the added backstory!! Such a good game and was so fun to go through the emotions with the characters!
Omg I totally freaked (positive) when I saw the profile picture I'm sooo glad you liked it enough to make it your pfp like actually I'm so giddy and happy!!!!
I think Mc's obliviousness was a cute touch to the one sided office rivals dynamic they had, especially when Thorne so obviously likes mc back 🥹 in the end im really happy you liked them, I'm actually working on a animation meme with them. So perhaps I will send a reply at a later date with it ehe
uh yes please?! I would love to see an animation meme with them! I might get back into art again just so I can animate those two lol
also yess, I love your art and the fact that mc looks so much like me, yes I had to make it my pfp (my friends also say my face has subtitles just like mc as well haha)
🤍GREAT GAME🖤
wAA THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PLAYING!
Romantic tension? Check
Foe yay? Check
Kissing some dude who can crush my skull with his biceps?Check10/10 will kiss again
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO
I love the interactable desk in the beginning! Office drama is the best! Even with the lack of coloring in the background (I'm sure it's an artistic choice), it's still so much fun to look at! I find the protagonist pretty cute along with the main love interest! A great game jam! The endings with a twist was amazing and I wasn't expecting it!
yess I wanted our game to be in black and white ! I’m glad it’s fun to look at it makes us sooo happy ❤️
I’m so happy you liked the point and click aspects I wanted to do more with it but we ran out of time🥺
This jam made me lowkey obsessed with the mc and Thorne, I keep making drawings of them haha.
i started the game jam with the ending in mind the moment i saw the theme Seal the evil!!
Perhaps you can do more with the point and click aspects in other games you make if you plan on continuing to make games! 😄
