Bittersweet start of 2026. I left my dream job at Arkane studio and all the amazing and talented people there. But it's for starting my indie game studio with 3 other friends 🎉 I'm so excited for what is to come. Stay tuned 😉

If capitalism was a video game, we would call it utterly broken and poorly balanced for letting some players be billionaires. But in real life with people's lives at stake, we think it's perfectly fine?!

Wow, our executives always have so many great advices! I can't believe how lucky I am to be working for them!

When creators experience difficult times, they let it out by sharing it to the world through their creation. I dedicate my game to people that are a only data on a spreadsheet, that are "difficult decisions to remain competitive" I dedicate my game to the victims of capitalists

Just published a huge update for our demo! it's now full of secrets and achievements 😁 I'm excited as it was super fun to create achievements and use them as hints for players to find the secrets 😉 First person to comment with a screen of the secret ending earns a shoutout from me!!

Updated my Steam page to put nice GIFs in it 😁 Preparations for Next Fest are still going hard 😤

Roxy, judging all of my design choices and programming habits 🙀

The amount of work to have a nice Steam page is pretty crazy 😅 (Yes, we are preparing for Steam Next Fest, how could you tell?)

The aesthetic of modern work depicted as empty, surreal and alienating is so fucking fascinating. Let's call it "OfficePunk"

Workaholic Simulator aims at blurring the lines between nightmare, reality and game. I try to create an experience that will leave you with more questions about yourself than answers about the game.

- The main negative feedback for our game demo is that it's too short, what can we do? - Well, as long as it showcase our game well, we shouldn't worry... *mail notification ring* - Oh....

@ysendrin.itch.io Accidentally turned "Workaholic Simulator" into "Dishwasher Simulator" while working on a new feature x)

Time for some criminal scummin'

Just finished our indie team logo! 🎉🎉 (Les Français, gardez votre calme)

Pitch your game in one meme. I start:

It's been more than 2 weeks since our demo release and it's been the most DRASTIC and long lasting wishlists increase since we opened our Steam page 😁

The indie game we're making (top left) and three of the inspirations behind it:

When did Wall-E stopped being a cute and exagerated vision of society and became a full-blown grim anticipation and scarily relatable movie?

You could use AI to generate lifeless visuals with ghibli style and get sued. Or you could use Ghibli art to get inspired to make more art. Here is a Spirited Away inspired scene from our game:

My friend Cédric (aka Telemaki) made a video detailing his Sound Design process for Workaholic Simulator! It's spoiling our demo a little bit, so make sure to play it first. He's a wonderful and talented person (as you can hear) and he is looking for work! www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHSC... #indiegame
