Imagine a world where you sell your labour power for less than the value produced by your labour, and your company profits from this surplus value. Welcome to Dungeons & Deadlines, a card game where you have to balance work and life, success and sanity, career and family to survive the probation period. How long will you last? Can you survive the probation period of 31 days? Will you burn out or fade away?
Created by ODD PIZZA! aka Miles Matrix during an extreme bout of depression as a means to a voice, Dungeons & Deadlines is a satirical look at daily work place horror and the meaningless emptiness of capitalism played out via cards.
- Over 40 Work and Life cards respectively
- A dozen Go To Work Early / Later and Work Overtime / Go Home cards respectively
- 5 different outcomes based on your balance – if you survive the probation period
- With an original 5-song chiptune soundtrack by game creator Miles Matrix (available on Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp and many more) – including the bonus track "Capitalism Stole My Virginity", a cover of The (International) Noise Conspiracy: ffm.to/dungeonsanddeadlines
It has some good jokes here and there, but the heavy reliance on luck and the repetitive nature of play doesn't make it worth much more than a couple of playthroughs. I died twice because I kept getting cards that decreased family.
Amazing game. I could see this must have taken FOREVER to make. However I would have given a 5 if it were not for the swearing. Please try to use milder language in future
