Office After Hours News

• To avoid confusion the item "Duck Detector" now also works on ducks in the base room
  
• Reduced the time required in the third hell level. Sorry to everyone who already endured that extra minute!
  
• Minor visual fixes
  

Thank you all for the kind feedback so far!!! Feels great knowing the game gave some of you a good laugh.

The demo for Office After Hours is now available again.
Your demo progress will carry over to the full game.
Please be aware that this only applies to demos played after this patch.

Note: This patch does not otherwise affect the main game.

• Fixed CEO Material achievement progress not saving during scene transitions
  
• Fixed crash when instantly running away from the dino (why would you do that anyway?🦖)
  
• Adjusted number in “Chased” anomaly for better visibility
  
• Computer UI after the ending now shows clearly if a collectible was found ✔/✘
  
• Removed visual glitch in Max Parable
  
• Fixed hell item becoming unpickable after boss moves it
  
• Camera smoothing now persists between scenes
  
• Made a collectible in OfficeComplexCamera easier to find
  

I also added an explanation that you can just walk on after the ending, to find the bonus anomalies marked with '?'.


Thank you for the reports so far! Please feel to report any bugs or feedback in the Steam Community Hub or on my discord server.

Attention employees of Endless Solutions! My latest productivity initiative:
[h2]OFFICE AFTER HOURS IS OUT NOW🎉🎉[/h2]

Clock in and prepare for a shift filled with strange, scary, funny anomalies and an office that’s definitely not just about paperwork.

I’ve brewed this experience with care and a lot of cups of coffee and I hope you enjoy every unsettling minute of it! Here’s what you can expect during your shift:

• 😱 Story-driven anomalies that are sometimes scary, sometimes just funny or weird
  
• 🕵️‍♂️ Anomaly hunting with a twist – collect clues and items to uncover the truth
  
• 🏢 Explore up to four environments – from the office to more… experimental spaces
  
• ⏱️ A full playthrough takes around 1–2 hours (plus overtime if you're thorough)
  

Thank you to everyone who followed the development, played the demo, and added the game to your wishlist – your support really means a lot to me! 💼❤️

[h3]For Veteran Spotters[/h3]
If you're an experienced anomaly spotter, the story-driven anomalies might feel like a warm-up. But don’t clock out just yet! Once you’ve made it through your shift, I’ve prepared over 10 additional anomalies designed to truly test your perception and attention to detail.

[h3]Steam Deck[/h3]
Office After Hours is fully playable on Steam Deck, includes full controller support, and supports Steam Cloud, so you can continue your shift anywhere. I'm still waiting on official verification, but performance and controls are working well in testing.

[h3]Office After Hours - Demo[/h3]
If you're still unsure about buying Office After Hours, the demo will be available again soon. I'm just making sure the save system transitions smoothly to the full game, so you won't have to do more overtime than you already do. Depending on what needs fixing after launch, this may still happen this week.

[h3]Next steps[/h3]
I’ll be around to monitor feedback, patch any printer malfunctions, and make sure the coffee keeps flowing. If you enjoy the game, please consider leaving a Steam review! It helps me tremendously during launch week! And as a solo developer, it helps me keep creating games.

📬 Come say hi and discuss anomalies with me on Discord:

Now… get back to work.
There’s somebody watching😈😉

[h2]Less than two weeks left…[/h2]
Office After Hours launches in just 12 days (02.06.2025, 6pm CEST)! A psychological horror game full of absurd anomalies, caffeine-fueled tension, and a boss who’s always watching.
The wishlist rewards are still up. We are scratching on that 1500 mark. Maybe we can reach it until launch? Tell a friend!

[h2]Demo News[/h2]
The demo is slightly outdated and does not currently sync with the main game.
This will change soon. The demo will therefore be taken down in the coming days.
I will try to upload an updated version around the time the game is released.

I hope your are excited about the release like I am.

Be ready to do some overwork soon!
