Every Day the Same Dream

The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.

Henry David Thoreau - 1854

Every Day the Same Dream is a short game centered around the daily routine of a faceless office worker. The game is profoundly depressing since it shows how alienating modern life can be. When starting the game seems to merely repeat itself endlessly; however, there are ways for the player to break the monotony. These little breaks from routine give hope and advance the plot forward towards its conclusion.

Overall, the two messages this game left me with are "Not all lifestyles, even widely practiced ones, are sustainable" and "Every day does not need to be the same".
