DevLog #1: Welcome to Salaryman RESCUE!

Welcome to the first Salaryman RESCUE! DevLog! We’re building a VR-exclusive salaryman automation game set in the vibey citypop-kissed streets of Tokyo. It’s pretty simple, really: salaryman finish work, salaryman get drunk, salaryman need help getting home. That’s where you come in! Just watch out for UFOs.

Salaryman RESCUE! is all about guiding Tokyo’s overworked office workers safely through a bustling metropolis. Sounds easy? Think again. Let’s delve into the three central Pillars of our gameplay: Management & Guidance, Exploration & Collection, and RESCUE!

Management & Guidance

Your role isn’t just about spectating; it’s about facilitating! As drunken Salarymen spawn and begin their seemingly harmless journey towards their destination, you need to quickly get a sense of their path and behaviours. Just like in the real world, these salarymen have a default way of doing things, but let’s face it - their way isn’t always the safest!

Use physics objects to divert them, guide them with the promise of a beer, and most of all, keep them from ragdolling. After all, Tokyo traffic is merciless, and we’ve thrown in some UFOs just to keep things interesting!

Taking the lead!

Exploration & Vending Machines

While the salarymen are on the move, you’ll embark on a side quest of sorts, gathering essential tools and power-ups that will significantly aid in ensuring their safety. Collect Coins and use them to buy Beer and other consumables at Vending Machines and Gachapon! You have an array of items at your disposal. Just remember, the city has its secrets; make sure you uncover them all!

Look out for these!

Mitigation & Rescue

As UFOs hover above, waiting to snatch your unsuspecting salarymen, and cars zipping by threatening to knock them off their feet, your job is to mitigate risks and rescue as many salaryman as you can before time runs out. Be it by distracting those UFOs, luring thirsty officer workers with the promise of a cold beer, or even using a baseball bat for a bit of a… push in the right direction, you decide the best rescue methods. But remember, each choice has consequences!

Defend against UFOs!

While each wave presents unique challenges, with varying spawn rates, UFO counts, and even unexpected environmental changes (rain puddles? Watch out!), you need to ensure a certain number of salarymen reach their destination in time.

Salaryman RESCUE! brings with it a nostalgic feel of Tokyo’s beautiful chaos, peppered with a dreamy, wavey vibe that’s sure to capture your heart and challenge your reflexes.

Excited? So are we! We can’t wait to bring more updates and teasers your way. In the meantime, gear up and get ready to dive into the neon-lit streets of Tokyo like never before.
