About the Game

It's the 90s. You have a home office, a computer full of emails, and a whole lot of time to worry about the things that really matter… like whether your pet rock needs a tiny top hat.

In Rock From Home, your most loyal companion isn't a co-worker. It's a rock!

Meet Your Rock

Name your pet rock and place it proudly on its pedestal. Most days, your rock just sits there. Sometimes it blinks. 

It may not do much, but somehow it becomes the centre of your entire life. 

Earn, Spend, Repeat

Take on your day job by replying to emails in a typing-based minigame.

Prove your typing skills one email at a time and choose how you respond to strange workplace situations. Your speed, accuracy, and decisions determine your pay check.

Manage your earnings wisely, or don't. Exchange your money through a constantly changing market, then spend it on hats, moustaches, googly eyes, and other ridiculous accessories for your rock.

When work gets boring, take a break and enjoy the little things from the good ol' days: snap photos with your old-school camera, play with nostalgic toys, and waste time exactly how you were meant to.

Features:

  • A rock

  • Retro 90's work-from-home simulation

  • Typing-based email minigame with response choices

  • Earn money through your corporate day job

  • Customize your pet rock with ridiculous cosmetics

Your rock needs you. Do something. Or don’t.
