Disclaimer:
Some models and textures were made using AI-assisted tools during Game Jam III because of the limited development time. We plan to replace these with custom-made assets as the game continues to develop.

Business as Usual

Start at the bottom, put the work in, and see how far you can climb.

Business as Usual is a multiplayer workplace life sim where you take on jobs, work alongside other players and build a career. You start with everyday work and gradually take on more responsibility as you move from the shop floor into management.

Work Your Way Up

  • Stock shelves and keep the business running
  • Help customers and handle day-to-day work
  • Earn experience and progress through your career
  • Take on more responsibilities as you move into management
  • Manage staff, stock, rental space and business finances

The further you get, the more responsibility you take on. What starts as another shift could eventually turn into managing the people, stock and decisions that keep everything running.

Millbank is still growing, and so are the businesses within it. As the game develops, we'll be adding more jobs, more opportunities and more ways to progress.

Note:
Business as Usual is still in active development, so expect bugs, unfinished systems, balance changes and performance issues while we continue building and improving the game.
