Working From Home
You went freelance the week before lockdown. Now stuck at home with no boss and no office, your days are your own. Work enough to pay the bills, manage your needs, blow your wages on gambling, shopping, and vapes, and try to survive the lockdown that never ends.

About
About the game
Working From Home is a comedic first-person exploration game set in England during the 2020 Coronavirus lockdown. You made the bold decision to go freelance in March 2020, hoping to earn more money, not knowing what was coming.
With no office to go to and no boss to answer to, your days are your own. When it all gets too much, just go stick the kettle on.
In this horrible vision, we never leave lockdown!
Manage your money
Take on freelance work at your computer to earn money.
As you put the hours in your rate increases and your job title changes, but really it's all just funding the chaos - the gambling, the shopping, the lottery tickets, and yes, you can actually vape.
Browse PuffDaddy for a range of vapes and liquids to try out.
You can even try your luck on WallStreet and try and beat the stock market!
Money matters
You manage two balances - cash in your pocket and money in the bank.
Pay with cash or card depending on what's accepted, and keep an eye on both. There's an cash point if you need to move money around, but you'll need to find it first.
Take care, pal
It's not all fun and games!
You have needs to manage - stay fed, stay hydrated, get enough sleep, and try not to let the stress get to you. Let things slide too long and it'll catch up with you. Yes, that includes going to the toilet.
Your phone
Your mobile is your lifeline. Order groceries through WaitLoads, get food delivered via Deliveroops, check your balance on Swallow, try your luck on ComeAlot, or fire up GameChat to talk to other players currently in lockdown alongside you.
Touch grass
Feel like going outside? Go metal detecting or try magnet fishing. The world is small but there's more in it than you'd expect.
