About the Game

ESPecial Jobs is a comedy puzzle-adventure game for the Game Boy and PC that blends top-down exploration with first-person point-and-click problem solving. You play as Isa, a girl gifted with extraordinary paranormal abilities and a sixth sense rivaled only by her complete lack of common sense. Armed with overwhelming ESP power and sheer determination, Isa decides to turn problem-solving into a full-time job.

Explore quirky environments, meet a cast of wonderful and eccentric characters, and prepare to be amazed (or confused) by Isa's wildly unconventional solutions. While a plot of cosmic proportions quietly unfolds in the background, everyday tasks spiral into absurd challenges solved with psychic overkill.

Puzzles revolve around careful thinking, item analysis, and effective use of your inventory. Items can be examined in a rare-for-the-platform 3D view, giving you extra clues and details that may be the key to solving each situation.

Key Features:

  • Comedy-driven puzzle adventure with a lighthearted, surreal tone

  • Mix of top-down exploration and first-person point-and-click gameplay

  • Playable on Game Boy and computer

  • Unique 3D item inspection system to uncover clues

  • Memorable characters and a mysteriously cosmic overarching story

  • Manual and automatic save systems for flexible play

This digital release includes a Game Boy ROM file for personal use on any device you own that can play it!

Stay tuned for the boxed physical cartridge release!
