You are Rufus Van Sloan, 46 year old CEO of "Van Sloan Plugs International". Just as you're about to leave the office after a busy day of sharpening pencils and playing Mahjong, your phone rings. There we go again! It's one of your many cronies asking you for a last minute favour. Bid farewell to leaving early and say hello to completing boring assignments for your friends and relatives.

To make things worse, your employees have been bugging you all week long about that pay raise you promised them four months ago. Don't let them see you roaming around, or you'll never make it home in time for dinner. And you know what happens when you're late for your wife's dinner!

Prepare for a nerve-wrecking episode of corporate stealth and make your employees eat some bills!

Gameplay

  • Complete the assignments displayed in the top-left corner while staying out of your employees' lines of sight.
  • Use your money gun and cash grenades to distract your employees.
  • When your employees see you, they will try to grab you. DON'T LET THEM! They will take all they can get from you.
  • Keep track of your money balance – when you run out of cash, you're at the mercy of your employees.

GameDev.tv Game Jam 2026 submission info

We made our game about social connections and cronyism. The corrupt and greedy, money gun–wielding CEO of "Van Sloan Plugs International" uses his high-standing position in the company to grant personal favours to his friends and relatives, rather than tending to the company's business, such as discussing an overdue pay raise with his employees.

Also, the story is driven forward by a range of phone connections between the protagonist and his family and friends. The game opens and ends with a phone call, and phone calls guide the player towards new objectives throughout the game.
