About When the Boss Turns Away
When the Boss Turns Away is a Unity strategy-simulation game about the world's most relatable workplace skill: acting busy. Keep your employees working, handle unexpected events, and keep the office running — all while the boss's attention drifts in and out.
The twist is in the title: your window to manage anything is exactly as long as the boss's back is turned. Time management, risk assessment and a healthy fear of middle management await.
How to Play
Watch the boss's behavior and act during the moments they look away: assign tasks, resolve unexpected events, and keep the office productive before the timer runs out. Get caught slacking and there's a price.
Controls
Mouse – manage employees and events
