About the Game

The year is 1998. Our hero, Rob, has left the "music industry" for a career as a coder for a large corporation.

Unfortunately, work is yet again spoiled by the undead. Rob must fulfill tasks for their boss while defending against the horde, all in an attempt to reach the safety of the roof.

The stairs are blocked; if only the elevator was working more consistently...

Office Nightmare is the sequel to Record Store Nightmare. You control Rob as you navigate the floors of the office building. Your Manager won't allow the elevator to take you to the next level until you get some work done, once again proving that when it comes to zombies, humans are the true monsters. You might have to stop in at the Manager Kiosk to get a task, or maybe you just have to defeat a boss; it's all up to the Manager's whims.


Slow down your pursuers by building barricades out of random office junk. It won't stop them forever, but it might buy you enough time to rescue a coworker, or just wait for that elevator to show up.

Almost everything you pick up can be used as a weapon: staplers, manila folders, even pizza! Doing a job for your Manager usually rewards you with something a bit more powerful, so get to it!

This is a '90s throwback focusing on action, not skill points or unlocks.
