Hello, everyone, our Kickstarter page is up! The idea of the game is falling in love, and learning about consent. The game has a LGBTA disabled cast. If you care about the game or the message, please share!

Those moments you’ve caught them watching you...
And for just a second,
You see yourself the way they do.

In After Work, sometimes the most powerful shift isn’t in what you say.
It’s in how someone sees you when you’re not trying.

And this is why we love dating sims 🤪

You can only pick one—
And no, “both” is not an option 😏

Swipe through our “This or That: Office Romance Edition” and drop your answers in the comments!

Sure, it was just work keeping them late.
The meetings. The deadlines. The back-to-back pings.

What do you think—just work, or something more? 👀

In After Work, choices aren’t just flavor—they’re everything.

Every character responds differently to what you say and how you say it.

➡️ Swipe for your choices and tell us how you’d respond.

In After Work, you’ll face the choices that blur the line between professionalism and something personal.
Every character has boundaries.
Every conversation has weight.
And every moment? Could be the one that changes everything.

You weren’t supposed to notice the drawer.
But now you can’t stop thinking about it.
What do you think is inside?

You start flirting with someone in the office.
You forgot your boss was still in the room.
Too late to take it back.
Way too late to ignore how they're looking at you.
Ever cross that line between professional and something else?

It’s not always the grand gestures.

Sometimes it’s the sticky notes, the shared playlists, the way they know your coffee order without asking.

In After Work, connection shows up in the quietest moments.

It wasn’t just a glance.

It lingered. It questioned.
It said everything they weren’t ready to admit out loud.

In After Work, sometimes one look is all it takes.

"Let’s circle back" hits differently when the tension is already in the air.

In After Work, every office phrase has layers.

Some emails feel like plot twists.

In After Work, the inbox might look normal—but the emotions hiding underneath? That’s another story.
