BAD DAY AT THE OFFICE: OUR STORY BEGINS!

In this retro inspired, top-down pixel-art sci-fi/action adventure, it is the distant future of 1985 as you step into the worn-out steel toed boots of Brick Roundhouse, a former Hollywood action star that's seen better days. Now with ticket sales declining you're forced to endure the mundane 9-5 grind at the monolithic Manduke Corporation like any other regular schmuck. Join forces with a cast of equally disillusioned former A-listers including Iron Stormweather, Frank Coldcock, and Tank Bendgirder. As you navigate the labyrinthine corridors of the colossal production facility, you'll uncover a sinister plot that threatens the fate of the world. Strange visitors arrive, mysterious experiments unfold on level 51, and the entire building descends into chaos. To unravel the mysterious puzzle and confront the impending doom, you must master many different weapons as well as the unique abilities of each character you unlock. Utilize Brick's no-nonsense ability to deliver a swift roundhouse kick or throw a mean right hook, Iron's age-old wisdom and old-school boxing prowess, Frank's highly skilled military fighting style, and Tank's destructive brute strength to overcome challenges, survive pitfalls and traps, and defeat formidable foes. Ultimately, your quest will lead you and your chums to a climactic showdown with THE BOSS himself: Mr. Manduke! A ruthless corporate titan determined to unleash a world-shattering invention. Brick must lead his testosterone-tanked, muscle-bound menagerie on a mission to find the muckety-mucks in charge of this whole shebang and give em' what for! Can you rise above your ordinary existence, reclaim your former glory, and save the day all before quittin' time? God bless the workin' stiff!

MEET THE CREW

Brick Roundhouse: If there is a tough job to be done, Brick's your man! Brick was once at the top of the box office charts starring in his over-the-top action roles in big budget blockbusters, but after his Big Shot Hollywood manager convinced him that a string of comedies was in his best interest, he soon had to hit the bricks and find a regular job. So now here he is trying to earn ends meet as a regular Joe at the Manduke Corporation. 

Iron Stormweather: Brick's closest friend and right-hand man on the scene at Manduke. Back in his heyday Iron did a short stint as a bare-knuckle boxer on the amateur circuit before being spotted by a Hollywood agent and placed as the supporting role in one of Brick's action flicks. Since their first day going over lines together these two have been inseparable. As a side note, Iron was also involved in Brick's aforementioned string of comedies.

Frank Coldcock: Frank, fresh out of the Military had high hopes of joining the Police academy with a personal goal set to become a Detective in record time. Highly skilled in various martial arts and diverse forms of hand-to-hand combat as well as intensive weapons training it looked as if Frank would achieve his goal without breaking a sweat. However, one fateful day his old bunk buddy from his previous Army unit talked him into trying out for a small part in one of the upcoming Brick Roundhouse features being filmed locally. He got the part. Yep, it was a comedy.

Tank Bendgirder: Tank is a hulking mass of brutality straight off the gridiron. Once an unstoppable force to be reckoned with when the pigskin hit the field, now pretty much another cog in the Manduke machine because his old high school pal asked him if he'd like a small cameo in one of his new movies. "Come on and do it!", Brick said. "I'm trying something new and it's going to be awesome!", he said. 

Henry Hammerfist: Henry wasn't born with arms. Instead, he entered this world with two fully loaded battleships protruding from his iron chiseled torso and they are always ready to go to war! A sawmill accident took both of Henry's hands when he was six years old covering a shift for a no-good lay about that would rather see his first child born than put in a hard day's work. There was no choice other than to have Henry equipped with two rocket powered iron fist launchers after that. Henry is at Manduke because they have no limit on overtime. Henry doesn't watch comedies. Henry doesn't watch movies. Henry works.

THE DREADED NEW HIRES

Much like in real life, Manduke goes through a plethora of warm bodies in the new employee department. These guys are basically on the payroll to get in your way and serve as obstacles to maneuver around to get the real work accomplished. Some of these think tank challenged wonders have gotten into hazardous materials so they must be avoided because they can infect you with toxic radiation or even detonate like tiny nuclear bombs. Have fun with that!

GUEST APPEARANCES AND SPECIAL PLAYABLE CHARACTERS

Throughout your workday escapades you will have a few special guests dropping by to lend a hand or to hinder your progress according to the time and place they appear. At certain points in the game, you will be able to use these guests as playable characters for their unique abilities required to move forward or to acquire certain hidden items.

SPECIAL ITEMS

WELCOME TO THE MANDUKE CORPORATION

The Manduke Corporation is the galaxies' largest scientific and technological research/development and production facility known to man. Their tireless testing and scientific innovation have brought everything from new food and drink products to interplanetary space and dimensional travel through portal advancements into the world as a reality once only imagined in science fiction movies. The Manduke facility itself extends hundreds of miles below the Earth's surface so far that no one alive even knows how deep it descends or how far its sprawling expanses stretch. Very little is known about the Manduke family and the exact origins of the company itself as most of the early beginnings and exact motives behind the Corporation's creation have always been shrouded in mystery. Exploring and general curiosity is not something that is encouraged or tolerated within this operation. So, who are you to go poking around right? Best to just keep your nose clean and stay on the straight and narrow where Mr. Manduke and his minions are involved, right? Besides, most of that is above your paygrade anyway and you pretty much just want to get home at the end of the day and watch the idiot box in your underwear, right? Right. Mind your business if you like this job. Other than that, have fun! In the properly designated areas of course.

Now that we've gotten all that good stuff out of the way let's get down to real nitty gritty of what an average day at the Manduke Corporation is like. The nuts and bolts that keeps this beast of big business rampaging along. Please join me on a short tour that only scratches the surface of what you will experience throughout the gameplay of Bad Day at the Office!

LOW RISK SECURITY CLEARANCE LEVELS

If you're looking to back a video game on Kickstarter chances are you've been around the gaming block a time or two, so I won't waste your valuable time feeding you a big line to reel you. In layman's terms low risk security levels are more or less tutorial boards that allow you to pick up the vital skills it takes to really kick butt later down the road when the goin' gets tough, and tough it will get! But here you'll basically carry out simple tasks to pick up the mission completion side of the game mechanics and along the way you'll encounter lower charged Manduke Helpbots that aren't too much of a threat. Not now at least but give them time.

MR. MONEYBAG'S VAULT ENTRANCE

So now that we've got all that fancy book learnin' over and done with and you've sharpened your hand to hand and acrobatics skills we move swiftly along to your first run in with a mini-Boss. Well not so much of a mini-Boss as your first run in with your assistant manager and secretary of treasury: Mr. Moneybags. Big Money steps up the game right off the bat and proves to be a formidable challenge armed with double rocket launchers attached to the end of his appendages and has the ability to summon other enemies from deep within the Manduke compound when he thinks the Corporation's gold stockpile might be in danger. But at the end of the day, he is still higher than you on the company food chain so don't play too rough with him on your first few go-arounds or you might face a write up.

TOXIC SLUDGE DISPOSAL LOCKER

These disposal lockers are found in various places within the game and usually have hidden or special items lying about somewhere within. The toxic areas can become quite complex in navigation making it is easy to get turned around in their mazelike designs, especially when running full speed ahead from a radiated mutation or a pile of glowing living goo intent on consuming your hide down to the bone.

HENRY HAMMERFIST AND THE SMELTING FACTORY

Even though this area does sound like a weird children's story there will be no child's play involved when you come face to face or should I say fist to face with Henry's rocket powered flying fists made entirely of Mandukite, the hardest metal alloy in the known universe. You'll throw down with Henry on his own turf and if you can manage to avoid a good old fashioned merciless beatdown from your good pal and dock shift lead you will gain access to him as a playable character or to be used as an assistant when challenges get hairy and you need a good buddy for those long hauls and close calls.

OFFICE LEVELS

BOOM! So, after all that white knuckle heart pounding action, what better way to follow it all up than introducing you to the office levels as a chaser! Now that's the way to build up to one smashing climactic event! In these levels you'll be able to catch up on paperwork that's been building up in your IN basket for days, look over some pie graphs and production and inventory charts and try not to fall asleep while you read through the upcoming events in the Manduke weekly newsletter! This is what it's all been building up to right here! Nah! Not really, I'm just funnin' with ya! The office levels in the beginning of the game serve as a connection for various areas that will only be unlocked as different characters are made available due to their special abilities being the key to obtaining key cards, electronic access codes and other means of gaining entry into previously locked or blocked off territory inside the Manduke Corporation. 

MONSTER AND ZOMBIE RESEARCH LABS

As the Manduke Corporation began production on more and more products and innovative scientific advancements, extreme testing was necessary to keep the public's health and safety a main priority. The public cried out however that animal testing was not going to be tolerated so the next best thing was zombie testing. Some of those tests in turn mutated the zombies into ghastly creatures too horrible to describe so you can just discover them yourself in these laboratories sprinkled throughout the game. 

GRATUITOUS SEWER LEVEL

Yep! It's the sewer level. Every retro action game has got one and this journey is no different pal. No one is ever really sure how or why they end up in the sanitation levels but if it's what Mr. Manduke requires of your services then you'd better hop to it toot suite!

PINK SLIME PRODUCTION FACILITY

Pink slime. Served in school cafeterias across the globe, and now you know where it all originates. Yes indeed, you can thank the Manduke Corporation for little Timmy growing up into such a strapping fine young lad! One hiccup that I should mention however is that one of the new hires accidentally spilled a can of Atomic Nuke Puke Energy Guzzlers into a fresh batch of the vat of nutritionally balanced meat biproduct and now there is an infestation of Meatlings running around everywhere you can imagine wreaking havoc and spreading mayhem wherever they pop up.  Avoid them, destroy them or slap them on a bun with some pickle and mayo if you've got a hankering for something yummy in your tummy. I'll leave that up to you.  

ATOMIC NUKE PUKE PRODUCTION PLANT

What happens when you mix large amounts of high fructose corn syrup and an insufferable quantity of caffeine and sugar then add a few drops of jet fuel and mix it all together with just the right amount of toxic waste? You get one HELLUVA great tasting refreshment with a kick that gets the ole Spidey senses jammin' full speed ahead! Atomic Nuke Puke Energy Guzzlers, it'll cure what ails ya that's for sure!  That's right friends this is where the magic happens! Throughout your workday you'll have the opportunity to traverse the production plant to carry out various missions, and you might just sample a little swig here and there when nobody is looking. Don't worry, I won't squeal on you! Just be cautious you don't take a swim in the stuff because as the label says: AVOID CONTACT WITH SKIN AND EYES! Safety first as the Manduke employee handbook clearly states!

ROBOTICS ONLINE PROGRAMMING STATION

Enough is enough! So, by this point in the game, you probably have come to the realization that the Manduke Helpbots don't do a whole heck of a lot on the helping end of the deal. They are basically in the building to lift heavy objects, do basic upkeep of the facility and compliment you on your expertise as a moustache aficionado when you show up to work looking especially dapper. But no, instead all they have been up to is trying to wipe your ugly mug from existence. So now we find ourselves here at the central point of where the problem had to have originated. Do your best to figure out the problem and get these annoying little fellows back to their original programming.

CULT OF THE CRIMSON GHOST

Some parts of the Manduke Corporation were built all the way back in the 30's and haven't been explored almost since the paint originally got splashed on the walls. So somewhere way back in the deep recesses of the forgotten corridors the Crimson Ghost has quietly been drafting Manduke employees into his army to eventually take over the world. But like I said he's been down there for ages so I wouldn't look for him to gain total global domination anytime soon, but I'd still avoid him and his followers because he likes to fire off that electricity doodad of his in the general direction of anyone that crosses his path. 

WEAPONS AND TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH AND DEVELPOMENT 

Oh I do say! You will find some real goodies in here! The only problem is you'll have to face off against your first Boss to gain access to the treasures that await inside. I don't mean like as in a video game Boss, I literally mean your first Boss. Mr. Poundstone took you under his wing from your very first day as a proud Manduke newbie and now you're going to have to blow him to smithereens to acquire access to all of the wonderful carnage creating accessories held within his grasp. Don't think for one second Poundstone taught you all of his tricks of the trade however because this guy's got a few surprises up his sleeve for sure!

SUBTERRANEAN LEVEL

I can't give you much information on this area of the Manduke property because everyone who has ever ventured to this point never made it back in one piece to tell the tale. Rest assured you'll end up down there though. Why? Because Mr. Manduke gives you a direct order to head in that general direction and you like to eat and keep a roof over your head, so I don't think you'll be rocking the boat any time soon. And besides, the annual performance reviews are coming up, and this might give you a slight edge over Bob Jenson on the second floor for that big promotion you've been working towards. But I digress. Let's move on, shall we?

PROFESSIONAL WRESTLER CLONING LAB

That's right! I bet you never guessed all those larger-than-life macho musclebound, hulking madmen you idolized as a wee whippersnapper were grown in the Manduke laboratories, did ya? Did ya? Well, they are and now you've got to get past them before they rip your spleen out through your navel and wear your skull as a bolo tie. There are no illegal moves here Champ! 

BIOENGINEERING LAB

This area is where many heinous experiments have gone terribly astray. So much so that it has been sealed off for quite some time with the hopes that whatever was lurking in there would just quietly go away. However quite the opposite has happened. The sick slimy pink flesh of a miscreant lab creation began to grow and consume every shred of the installation built by human hands and now has become part of the Manduke building itself.  Well as luck would have it this enormous slithering beast has blocked off a very important doorway that leads to the Manduke portal opening and Mr. Manduke himself has personally tasked you and the boys with the burden of cleaning up this little snafu so access can once again be granted. As much as you really don't feel like dealing with this, the employee of the month decision is coming up soon and it does come with a really sweet parking spot so why not? As much as you dislike doing battle with giant flesh-eating horrors, having to walk an extra 30-40 feet to get to the entrance of the building every day seems like more of a hassle.

THE PORTAL ZONE

Well, you must have done something right because access to the portal opening gets you through to the portal zone. Here you will be able to traverse to distant alien worlds spread out through the farthest reaches of space. Sounds pretty cool right? And your pop always said you'd never amount to nuthin'. The only unfortunate part of this experience is that 99.9 percent of the life found out in the great expanse of the ocean of stars would like to see you served steaming hot on a dinner plate with a side salad.  All of this adventure and death-defying madness and you get the added bonus of making a fraction over minimum wage! Ha! Take that pop! Also, while inside the portal zone you will be introduced to other soon to be instantly recognizable characters from upcoming BDatO DLC storylines such as Space Cop 85 and Weird-O-Naut. 

SKUZZ'S MAINTINANCE SHOP

Skuzz is the Manduke main man when it comes to keeping this joint running tip top. However, Skuzz isn't exactly that interested in things like safety and keeping the operation rolling along like a well-oiled machine. No sir, Skuzz is more into turning Meatlings into biomechanical forces of destruction and melting whatever he can with his flamethrower just to watch it dissolve into a heaping pile of ashes. You'll need his services from time to time however to resolve difficulties in equipment functionality and to access special tools needed to perform duties handed down to you by the suits upstairs. 

THE CAFETERIA

Ah the cafeteria! This is where you get your grub on! You never know what you'll find in this area of the Manduke Corporation. This is a random events location of the game where ANYTHING can happen when you enter on scheduled breaks and lunch time! One time it could be a giant weaponized meatloaf and the next time it could be something even more sinister, but my guess is Agnes the lunch lady is the mastermind behind it all.

LEVEL 51

Level 51 is a highly guarded, top security area of the Manduke building. Off limits to everyone except the select few that hold the right combination of key cards and security clearances so I can't personally give much information about this particular part of the game. I will say in this line of work, people talk and I have heard some very strange and bizarre stories about what goes on in there and it doesn't sound like it's for the faint of heart.

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT MUTANT INCUBATION CHAMBERS

By the mid 80's most of the world had fallen victim to severe bouts of panic- and heart-stricken anxiety due to over excessive consumption of Atomic Nuke Puke Energy Guzzlers. Fortunately, the Manduke Corporation came up with a wonderful solution. Let me introduce you to the Emotional Support Mutants. Originally expected to be fluffy pink adorable little critters perfect for cuddling away all of your sorrows and fears, however thanks to the top notch Manduke scientists actually turned out to be horrific monstrosities that are lab created killing machines. Once you've reached the ESM incubation chamber it is quite possible to be ferociously attacked at any point in the game by an onslaught of these tiny buggers!

RABID CLOWN FARM AND COTTON CANDY REFINERY

Emotional Support Mutants?!? What could be worse than that you ask? Clowns. Yep, rabid circus clowns with an insatiable appetite for Manduke employees to stuff down their famished gullets. These guys are tough as nails and move like the wind when they zero in on a lunch special wearing a shirt and tie.  As it is best to steer clear of these guys all together, sometimes a run in with this crew can't be avoided if there is a special item needed for game progression nestled somewhere within the sprawling cotton candy refinery.

THE MANDUKE TRANSIT SYSTEM

Sometimes you're pressed for time and the option of hoofing it just isn't that realistic. That's when it's vitally necessary to use the not-so-reliable Manduke express shuttles! I don't know whose brilliant idea it was to slap all those lasers and heavy impact crushers right along the transit travel lines but who am I to ask these questions? All that gobbledygook is way above my paygrade so just climb in, buckle up and wish for the best! Don't forget to have your next of kin info properly filled out though before heading out in one of these bad boys!

LAIR OF THE NEON WORM

You know, the neon worm. He's basically the guardian to the tomb of the Electric Warlord. Never mind all that right now. You'll know after you play the game. Just so you know though, there is a REALLY AWESOME weapon you'll earn after this ordeal is over with. Soooooo.....moving right along.

SHRINK RAY LEVELS

Every now and again one of the new hires go messing where they shouldn't be messing and they end up accidentally putting you on the business end of a shrink ray blast. It's a pain in the keester I know, but sadly these things happen. Suck it up buttercup. The shrink ray effects only last a short time so just wait it out and you'll soon regain your rightful stature.

THE UNDERWORLD TUNNELS

There has been some talk and rumors around the water cooler lately about some alien gates opening on Mars or something like that and I guess as these stories go some space marine or something of that nature has been single handedly keeping monsters and demons from reaching Earth. Guess he's not doing too great of a job though because these ornery gents keep popping up all over the place. Maybe you can do something about it.

ELECTRO WASTELAND EXPANSES AND TECH STUDIO

 These boys down in the tech studio are weird to say the least. No one fully understands the inner workings of the Information Technology weirdos or what makes them tick but it is necessary to coexist with them. Get in, get what you need and get out. And please remember to wash your hands when you leave their area because I can only imagine what goes on in there behind closed doors. When you do need the computer nerd's services however it won't be an easy task finding them because Manduke decided to stuff these odd specimens far away in the Electro Wasteland Expanses. These expanses haven't been fully explored in ages and there is no telling what you might discover roaming around in there because this is where old and failed technology has been buried and stored to collect dust and never see the light of day again. 

CYBER SLUMS

The Manduke Cyber City now known as the Cyber Slums. We told you this place was enormous. Deep in the downward spiral of the Manduke facility lies the Cyber Slums, an entire fully functioning dwelling area for thousands of Manduke employees always on call to perform their tasks when duty calls. In a perfect world Cyber City would have been a utopia anyone would have desired to live in. The reality however is that the city transformed into a crime filled cesspool full of punks, miscreants and ne're-do-wells that have gotten way out of hand. So much so that Mr. Manduke had to manufacture a giant security Bot to contain the rabble rousers inside the confines of Cyber City. But as you can imagine you will be given the chore of infiltrating the lawless zone.  Is it almost time to go home yet? 

AND MUCH MORE!
