Heading for the beach, June 25, 2025

Ok, it's your day off. You have nothing planned, so you're free to do whatever you want. Time to head off in a random direction and get into some trouble. (On another note, I need to start figuring out when to use my own vacation days soon. I'm such a hoarder.)

I would describe My Day Off Work as an open and free exploration game in a text medium. You wake up, and you can decide to waste time at home, or head somewhere, like the mall or the beach, engaging in all manner of mundane and unproductive things, the sort of thing you do when you've too much free time on your hands.

The game keeps your name and gender ambiguous, although I just had a male PC vibe while playing. While it is possible to survive to the end of your day off after doing all sorts of (silly?) things, bad ends are present, some of which include death. Writing is mostly solid. I don't think I saw any typos.

It is fun to just head off somewhere and see what happens to you. This is the sort of game meant to be replayed over and over again to find all the stuff within, and one which turns up surprising nuggets of content wherever you go. If you are looking for a more traditional sort of choicescript game, this isn't it. Still, I found it quite entertaining.
