I got a job... after fooling around, July 11, 2025

Prepper van might be the longest playthrough-wise and most gameplay-heavy title I've tried in the Neo-Twiny Jam thus far. With a simple looping gameplay system, along with an inventory system and stats, it does a lot with that word limit.

Disaster strikes. Sitting in your van, you have a choice of things to pick up, a choice of things to buy and a choice of a place to stay before the game tests those choices and what you have accumulated with a disaster. Your end objective here is to get a job before disaster consumes you.

Pretty early in the game, my parents threw me out for being a jobless bum. Still, all you need to do is work out how to survive day by day, accumulating as many survival items as you can, and eventually wait for your lucky break. After taking some time to work out the gameplay, and going through countless loops, I managed to get a job, thus saving myself from the disaster cycle. Maybe I'll be able to stay under my parents' roof now.

The art is mostly hand drawn sketches, but I did like the simple feel. This game does a lot with that 500 word limit, so I think that's something I can give a top rating for.
