Part of the OGAM Game Jam #61

This months theme was `Jungle`, which inspired me to make something based on The Jungle by Upton Sinclair.  Also very inspired by Papers, Please by Lucas Pope.  

Planning on adding a few more days and giving the narration another once over post jam.

Controls are all just mouse, use left click to pick up tools and then left click again to use them.  Right click will place a tool down.  Left clicking and hold to pick up pieces of chicken and release to put them in the correct bins.

How to play:

  • Click the button to get a chicken and start the day.
  • Use the tweezers to pluck the feathers off the chicken.
  • Use the knife to cut the limbs off the bird and put everything in the correct bins.
  • Once everything from the bird is clear from the workspace you can get another chicken.

Really interesting simple game,  there should be a text or something telling you when the day ends. it's hard to figure it out from the clock, if that's where it even signals you this, or is it from how many chickens you process, either way it's a nice game, keep it up and good luck on your next projects!

Thanks for the feedback!  You're totally right, the clock goes from 5 am to 5 pm for the day cycle.  I had been thinking there should be better transitions between the scenes, but another signal for the end of the day - like a sound or something, is a really good idea!  Since the player can keep working on the chicken they're processing after time runs out.
