The Application
A downloadable game for Windows
The Application is a horror game where your greatest fear isn’t a monster… it’s responsibility.
You wake up, ready to waste time on your laptop, but your parents have locked all your stuff away until you can prove you’re capable of holding a job. As you explore the house, reminders of your failure echo everywhere.
The more you think about working, the worse your anxiety gets eventually building into random, jarring jump scares that shatter your focus. And worse still, your anxiety takes form as a towering, relentless job application that patrols the house, hunting you down.
Can you keep your sanity together long enough to escape your thoughts, or will your own fear of work finally consume you?

really funny game! great concept and it made me both laugh and cry LOL!
Hey! Awesome game! It's very Hello Neighbor / Granny style I quite like it.
My only issue is that a lot of the times I get lost on what to do or where to go, so having an Objective would help a lot!
Also the house is quite dark, I can't see a lot of the rooms and sometimes had to search blindly for an interactable.
However, it is still a very cool game!
Thank you! Theres alot I need to fix still.. started the jam for this game pretty late, I had roughly two days to get this going!
That's okay! It's awesome you got this in 2 days!
With enough polishing I'm sure this game will turn out great!
