Cubicle Quest

Cubicle Quest is an old-school RPG about the frustrations of working life. You fight dead-end jobs, repetitive obligations and irritating coworkers as enemies, while pursuing quests that affect your character’s life. Instead of gaining levels and gold to battle an ancient evil, you work toward goals such as getting a promotion, making friends and deciding what you want from life. You gain allies and personal strength to take on the forces keeping you in your cubicle.

Work and finances

Monsters do not drop gold. You earn money through a financial system that includes a regular job, side gigs and the possibility of starting your own business. You can use it to pay off credit card and college debt, or invest in savings accounts and stocks.

Skills and allies

Combat uses work and interpersonal skills instead of elements such as fire and ice. Enemies also attack with unique elements, many of which do not fit normal RPG strategies. Nine party members can support you in different challenges.

Choices and challenges

The game offers 20–25 hours of gameplay, including post-game challenges and a secret ending. Permanent choices and time-based challenges add replay value. You can choose among multiple marriage options, each of which brings unique elements to the second half of the game, or stay single if you find the right quest.
