About the Game

Game Cycle is a faux retro shareware collection with story elements!

As a recently-contracted games analyst, you are tasked by the CEO of Best Value Games to make sure the games set to be included in their upcoming release are up to code. You can get the job done by playing each game for a few minutes, or you could be thorough and try for bonus pay by completing every objective on the checklist.

After your work for the day is done, you can go right to sleep and wait for tomorrow.

You did just move into this neighborhood, though.
Why not go down to the hot tub and chill out for a bit? Maybe get to know some of the people that live close by?

Are you up to the task?

◉ Re-discover the bygone era of shareware CD-ROMs!

◉ Play over TWENTY games! (of varying quality)

◉ Complete objectives for each game...or do the bare minimum!

◉ Chill out in a hot tub and have a moment to relax!

◉ Learn about your neighbors as they talk your ears off!

◉ There are multiple endings depending on what you do!
