Friday

Friday is a story game in which you play as Aimo, a college dropout who takes a job in the Friday department of the world-famous megacorporation Cat Technology after a friend recommends it. The department has an unusual name and difficult work, but Aimo has no major complaints until the job draws them deeper into the company’s central conflicts.

Company assignments

The main story takes about four hours. You complete assignments from the company, trying to help Cat Technology out of a difficult position. Many tasks have several possible solutions, and some decisions affect your relationships with other employees. Some people try to bring Aimo into their faction; you can focus on doing the job and living quietly, or investigate the company’s internal struggles.

Between main-story missions, you can often move freely around the company’s facilities, talk with employees and complete small tasks to develop relationships with them. These relationships can affect how the story unfolds. Special tools found during the main story also let you enter hidden areas and search for collectibles.

Collectibles and endings

Recordings, confidential plans and other collectibles reveal secrets about the company, some of which may involve Aimo’s coworkers. The game has four endings, two of which require completing additional tasks. Testers reported a median play time of 3.5 hours.
