OVERVIEW

Another day in the office begins, but with a twist. On arriving at work, the player sneezes, and the mystery begins. The player is tasked with interrogating their coworkers and investigating clues around the office to figure out who got them sick. The boss is sick of the shenanigans around the office, so the player has to make sure to avoid him during the investigation. With a limited time, the player must gather as many clues as possible to expose the culprit before their all hands meeting and see who is the one spreading disease through the office.

GAMEPLAY

Use WASD to move, E to interact with items or characters, and spacebar to skip through dialogue. 

Start the accusations by looking at your whiteboard and hitting E. Picking up clues or gaining clues through questioning will populate the clue board in the player's office and player inventory. Giving these items to characters will ask about the given item, potentially populating the clue board further. 

The boss will send the player back to their office upon being seen for too long. After three strikes, the meeting will start. Leaving the boss's range will reset his anger indicator.

The game ends when players either run out of time, are caught three times by the boss, or when the player starts the meeting themself. The meeting happens in any ending, and the player must select who they think the culprit was based on clues gathered.
