About the Game

Fresh out of university, you've landed a job at "Demotivational Co." As an intern with a habitual history of tardiness, your top priority is simply to get to work on time. Commute to work by day, unwind and grow after hours — every day is a story you craft yourself. Build your deck, plan your commute, and tackle whatever each day throws at you to hold onto this hard-won job!

■ Dynamic Deck Building: Shorten Your Commute
Choose your cards carefully! On your way to the office, you'll encounter and collect a variety of unique item and skill cards, all designed to help you cut down your travel time. Decide which to add to your deck, and through clever combinations and synergies, make your deck come through in clutch moments. Reduce delays and ensure you clock in on time, every day.

■ Tri-Stats Growth: Forge Your Inner Attributes
Strive to improve yourself! Throughout your commute and daily life, engage with diverse events to boost your three core stats: Wisdom, Courage, and Physique. Higher stats not only naturally shorten your commute but also serve as a passport to building better relationships. Invest in yourself, make your choices, and let the traits you develop become a deeper, more fundamental key to success than your cards alone.

■ Rich Event System: A New Story Every Commute
The web of events you face changes subtly each day. Will you go to the mall to test your courage, hit the gym to boost your physique, or nurture friendships to unlock surprising bonuses? Face various recurring events and unique special occurrences—your choices will lead to unique rewards and story twists. Choose between safe, steady growth and risky leaps for greater payoff. Your workplace routine is dynamically woven by every decision you make.
