I've been playing this game for about three hours now. OK the combat is pretty standard RPG, Pokemon-esque fare but I found the actual content of the story and the way it's presented very entertaining. Who doesn't love defeating 'Preventable Death'? In this day and age, only in this game can you pay off your student loan. I found all too many parallels to my own life in this game. At least somewhere, I can feel like I am progressing in my career with some hope of owning my own home. I've genuinely found it far too satisfying watching the numbers of my character's debt decrease. So yeah, I gave it five stars for making me believe there's a world where I can own s**t.

Cubicle Quest gets by on its amusing concept of fighting against and with real life things. You start off with Castle Sanity being attacked by the debt alliance after they conquered the nearby Free Time Mountain, cut off by the Mom 'n' Pop Kingdom it is your job to fight the Debt Alliance while seeking promotions, and maybe finding some roommates along the way to join you. Your characters will be equipped with accessories such as a resume and battle with skills like Self Esteem boosts. You can use items like soda, some will have effects such as increase MP while decreasing HP. The game's theme is what is amusing but it is made using default RPG maker textures, it only runs in a small window, it can be difficult to find where you need to go, and, unless you get the game when it is on sale, the price is too high. A good theme but not enough effort put behind it.
