About the Game

Awkward Valley is a totally normal, definitely-not-a-time-loop daily planner sim! Each morning, drag activities from your trusty notebook into your schedule and hit "Start" to watch your perfectly (or terribly) planned day unfold. Will you be productive, exhausted, or just spiral into existential dread? 

Featuring a micro deck-building mechanic, every choice shapes your routine. Convert fatigue into gains at the gym, fuel your soul (or just your stomach) with vending machine snacks, or attend therapy to process your life choices. As you progress, unlock new activities, modifiers, and Rue Valley-inspired oddities—because nothing here is ever truly normal.

With illustrations by Awkward Yeti and a healthy dose of absurdity, Awkward Valley! is your chance to micromanage a surreal life - one scheduled breakdown at a time!
