Ditching Work - Escape Game vs Gone Home
Ditching Work - Escape Game
Ditching Work - Escape Game is an escape-the-room, puzzle game but the interesting thing is that the game has a Japanese-styled humor added to give it a bit of a unique twist. In this game, the whole purpose of escaping the "room", which in this case, is the office where you work, not just to be trapped in another room but to ditch work. The game works by getting you to tap on anything that catches your eye, be it an overturned flower pot or a closed cabinet, in hopes of finding the key to the lock which bars your escape. Sometimes, you may even find collectibles that will end up in your Item Gallery. Need some help with a level? You can watch video ads to get free hints.

This game is pretty humorous as well - this is the sort of game where you can feed your coworkers and your boss spoiled bananas just so they will all dash to the toilet, leaving you with the golden opportunity and an unlocked door to skip out on work.
