Sous Pression (Under Pressure)

[The game file isn't up yet. Coming soon!]

Thanks to you, for the first time, politicians will be clean in the truest, most literal sense of the word!

Feel the pressure as a maintenance worker!

Freshly recruited by Kharon Corp (K.C), your daily task involves cleaning the entire hemicycle.

Deal with cleaning exhaustion and malfunctioning tools to satisfy your company and bring home a few Eltés.

Remain in your place among the country's great leaders and you may uncover some unflattering truths.

• Move | ZQSD 
• Grab | E (hold)
• Use the tools | LEFT CLICK
• Crouch | CTRL

• Highlighting the challenges encountered as a cleaning agent (janitor): physical difficulties, devaluation and lack of recognition (invisibilization), precarious working conditions
• Criticism of the idealization and gamification of an exhausting profession
• Criticism of the society and political system: denunciation of illegal and immoral acts committed by certain political figures (particularly in France); inflation and difficulties in sustaining a decent living

Passionate about this project, we decided to keep working on it! 

Take a look at the additions and modifications we are currently working on (we will update the list by crossing out the various entries):

• Add a counter to display how much remains to be cleaned
• Customization (modeling and texturing) of politicians (costumes and distinctive elements)
• Rewrite the narrative for better balance
• Add subtitles instead of dialogue 
• Add SFX for more realism (sighs, groans, coughs, etc.)
• Improve the UI
• Improve the tutorial
• Smooth camera and movement
• Resize the map and some objects (newspapers)
• Debug and improve the AI
• Various bug fixes

And more...
