Office Space: Idle Profits

Hating your job is a feeling more and more people experience nowadays, given the fact that most occupations are far from fulfilling or enjoyable. It would be impossible for everyone to be a manager or an artist, on the other hand, so the sad conclusion is that awful jobs are necessary at the moment. However, there are ways to keep yourself positive and look at things from a different perspective.

Office Space: Idle Profits is a clicker game inspired by the famous movie, in which your goal is to click in order to earn a profit. As the title says, the whole thing keeps going even if you are idling away, so you do not have to keep a close eye on the game in order to progress. However, it’s important to check in every now and again in order to upgrade things and purchase new characters.

Speaking of which, the story follows a disgruntled employee as he comes up with a cunning scheme to steal money from the company that fired him. Hence, he decides to funnel pennies out of every department in the company, which should eventually amount to millions or even billions of dollars. Naturally, the road there is pretty long and difficult.

You start by installing a virus in one of the departments, and the goal is to keep expanding throughout the building in order to get more money. It’s possible to hire people to keep an eye on the process, and good employees also provide you with various bonuses. In fact, some of them can really change the pace of the game, so most of the time you are actively trying to get them.

Every now and again the company might notice your scheme, which is when you have to burn the whole thing to the ground and start over. Not all is lost, on the other hand, because you keep your employees and the upgrades. You can also play clicking mini-game with scenes from the actual movie, which is a great way to bring some variety to the game.

In the end, Office Space: Idle Profits is a step ahead of most clicker games, especially since there is almost always something to do. It’s fun to burn the building down and start over, because it feels like a new adventure every time.
