A survival horror game for anyone who's ever wept into an Excel sheet.
Welcome to your new job! You’re underpaid, overworked, and haunted by rent. Literally.
In In Arrears, time is money — and you’re chronically broke.
Race against the clock to pay off escalating, absurd bills while surviving a haunted office where financial stress manifests as actual death. Work your way through years of corporate misery, each more deranged than the last. The coffee's cold. HR is missing. And the tax men? Avoid them.
FEATURES THAT WILL DRAIN YOU (EMOTIONALLY & FINANCIALLY):
Twenty Five Years of Work Hell
Each level = 5 years of your life. Each round = 4 minutes of pure, anxiety-fueled chaos. Just like a real job, but with better lighting (well... sometimes there is no lighting).
Pay Bills or Die Trying
Rent, groceries, soul commission, guilt interest — if you don't pay up, you'll enter the Pressure Phase. Kinda like checking your bank app at 3am.
Ways to Make a Buck (None of Them Dignified):
Rifle through wallets like a desperate raccoon
Look for suitcases that may or may not scream
Do CRM tasks for laughably low wages
Open emails from Nigerian princes, multiverse CEOs, or your mom
Throw your savings into cursed investments with the confidence of a man on fire
Tax Collectors Are Real. And They’re Coming.
They bald. They chase you. They rob you blind. Some say they work for the IRS. Others say they used to be HR.
The Office Eats Souls Now
10 rooms that twist from corporate grey to Kafkaesque nightmares. Breakroom coffee is sentient. The janitor’s mop speaks in riddles. And the TVs shows your deepest regrets.
THEMES:
Economic horror with a side of surreal burnout
Bureaucratic nightmares and capitalism-induced hallucinations
Satirical jabs at productivity, debt, and the “rise and grind” cult
You don’t fight monsters.
You pay your bills and hope you can make it.
