Love working from home?

Yeah, we all do.

Too bad.

You finally landed the beautiful home-office job you always wanted... just in time for a global pandemic. Now the pandemic is over, and apparently, so is your freedom.

The bosses are calling everyone back to the office. Apparently, emails work better in person.
There’s just one small problem:
Nobody has cleaned the place since 2020.

Return to Office

Return to Office is a small, ironic tidying game about preparing for the great return to the workplace.

Start by cleaning up your cozy home office, then get the company offices ready for everyone’s return. Pick up rubbish, move chairs, organize shelves, sort books and files, and hang a few pictures.

Earn XP, unlock skills, and slowly transform neglected offices into places where people can once again pretend to be productive.

The Great Return awaits

The office is waiting.
Time to pretend this matters in a system that does not care.
Welcome back.

Hey just an update on my game play and some comments/suggestions!

1. I got to 99% on Level 2 But ran into some problems at the very end, so here are some things I noticed while playing!

- Both Nora and Dr. Konig's chairs lagged whenever I tried placing them

- Some of the employees' mugs were labelled differently (eg. "Mia - Mug" or "Sam's Mug"), this doesn't affect the game play, but just thought I should point it out.

- A lot of chairs are labelled as Nora's

Overall?

I absolutely loved this game, it's relaxing and just helped me unwind from current stress.

Also, thank you so much again for answering my earlier comment so quickly !^U^

Thank you so much for playing! I’m really glad that you liked it. 
I just pushed a update that fixed the naming issues and also improved chair placement.
Thanks for playing and sharing your feedback!

Help! I can't pass the tutorial level :( I'm at 95% and I can't figure out where the headphones go.

Thanks for heads-up! Fixed it. There are now more places to put the headphones.

Thank you so much!

I loved playing this and maxing the skills...very addictive! Great job. Thank you! :)

Thanks so much!
