Hello, writing this to say that having played and managed to finish it on my second try, it was a pretty decent experience. Even if it is just sketches it is still very pleasing even if sometimes other sketches blend behind the main action. I hope there is going to be a bit more incentive for players to replay the game perhaps with different outfits to unlock for successfully getting the job done earning a pay. Or perhaps some holiday themed occasions like with St. Patrick's day where everyone's wearing green or an arrangement of outfits for Halloween. Bet Candace would look great in one of those Christmas outfits you often see in these sorts of office parties in movies.
On the gameplay note of things I accidentally found an animation cancel that quickly transitions Candace from getting railed to back to work. Basically just the moment before the dude finishes (depending on if you've already removed skirt or shirt) clicking to put either your skirt or shirt back on just before 100% you'll cancel the finish animation and get back to work. I am not sure if that was intentional but it would be interesting to see some benefits from quickly finishing the lad and getting back to work. Like some sort of adrenaline or dopamine hit to make the bar go faster for a brief period of time. Would fit in well if you do so before the boss or manager closes in to check on you.
I think an interesting mode would be a heat wave where your co-workers will appear much more frequently to get rid of some excess heat. While you are constantly managing both your productivity and your body temperature, you don't want to overheat and collapse making the gameplay a bit more engaging to manage between: working, staying cooled off, and ensuring your co-workers aren't too pent up.
I see a lot of potential with this game, I wish you the best of luck. I like the music that's here so far, I hope more can be added to help immerse the rather hectic office environment. I hope you are well, I look forward to any future updates it receives.
PS: please change the file and folder name from Windows to Barely Working, it was a little confusing and concerning when I downloaded it the first time. I hope it gets its own icon for when you start it up.
Thanks for the feedback scott! I'll take a look into that animation cancel as well, I'm willing to leave it in and it can be used as a speedrun strat if it is fun.
That's cool! Looking forward to it, best of luck to you and your composer. I'll be keeping an eye on future updates. Once there's more to play and or discuss, I'll give the game a rating.
I don't even know you from anything other than this comment, but you'd be an AWESOME critic. Like- You found a (possible) glitch that could be transformed into a feature, thought of a holiday feature and even a heatwave mode that'd be unique to this game. THAT'S COOL AF
Uhh thanks. Came up with it on the spot. Figured I could help with some suggestions from movies I've seen growing up along with some common scenarios that appear in the office space that people deal with. I don't think I've been called an awesome critic before. Thank you.
This is (was?) a fun short game. 🙂 Perhaps future developments can make it into a week of this getting harder each day. You could also have wardrobe and computer upgrades to make the different things easier. As it is, though, I think it's an amazing idea.
I was really surprised and impressed by this! The premise is simple, but effective. Execution and art are great. Even with very little content, it's extremely promising.
Man this is such a great and interesting game, i like the way you have to manage how you do things to use your time right, it definitely needs a little more randomness to it because it repeats the same things in the same order but still fun, i also love the sketch style it's interesting and if you ever consider using the full drawings i would suggest leaving a mode to only see the sketches, also some other game modes or maybe different sceneries would be nice, this game is definitely a 9/10 for me and i hope it keeps getting better, keep up the good work
Well for one, keeping track of when the fake-out "I'm coming over" message comes in, and getting the right timing for clothes removal/dressing. The skirt is more important to keep on than the shirt, as shirtless vs shirted has a lower productivity debuff than skirtless vs skirt on.
Awesome game, dude. Been playing this and excited for the updates. Awesome art and sex scenes, waiting for more. Maybe some sort of progression system could work (days of work, etc.)
it would be pretty cool to see some things to do after work like go to the store or maybe she can go to the conference room if the play feels bold enough to take the risk of loosing alot of time
I agree with one of the comments below that customization could be fun in the future.. My biggest request would be either dialogue variations or just more dialogue scenarios. Like the interns are nice to Candace if she's nice to Steve (or whatever the first intern's name was), or that guy who wants to book you for a conference room next week, maybe if you're really rude to him he comes to Candace and is rough. Maybe Candace can respond to the things people are saying while she's being used!
I don't know how complex adding new dialogue branches is but I think that would be really fun.
Of course finished art would be nice but I know that's already part of the plan. Keep up the great work, loving the game!
In the previous versions I imagined her being a brunette with a blue dress.
Add that, and a horny meter that detracts from her productivity unless kept low, then you have yourself a great game.
ps. Adding rounds/days and more/different tasks to be done in time would spice up gameplay. But tweak the difficulty a bit so it doesn't become impossible to beat.
for next lvls I think more things to juggle would be nice, like she gets an arousal bar that affects her performance. or the company has a busy day and nobody comes to visit, which sucks for morale, so she has to send messages out to entice them to visit her
one of the messages she got wanted a foto of her and she declined, and i think stuff like that could make nice quick time events
the way you answear messages leads to different interactions, which is nice, more of that plz
the folks visiting seem all to be faceless/random people. giving them names and different preferences could add depth. if you know mike is coming over and he's a boob guy you can take of the shirt before he arrives, giving you a head start on him etc.
I prefer the old Candace because of the art work and design but I do love it plss don't push yourself too hard we'll wait for the next update of your game keep it up bruv
I'm inclined to agree. It's hard to explain, but for me it's to do with how her face and hair are done. Her expressions were more "professional" which went well with the whole "getting railed while also trying to focus on getting work done". Also a bit more nitpicky but the desk feels way higher. It kinda gives me the impression that she's well under 5 feet. All that being said, the game is still great and it's obviously up to you what you do with it.
The old one has a colder facial expression and makes it great for ignore sex and stealth sex fetish.
Remaining her professionalism so hard, if nobody sees her naked body, nobody knows she's actually a company's meat toilet. This is what makes her sexier.
For Example,
Here's more examples with bukkakes,
Her getting fucked with calm expression makes her looks like she's a natural free use meat toilet.
This is a great take and I can see why it's hot. To offer another perspective, I love the new character design for Candace because it's the opposite/complement to what's described here.
That Candace seems like a perfect businesswoman that happens to be a slut and is adept at ignoring the lewd.
But the current Candace is like the perfect slut who has found a way to hack in it corporate life. I love the vibe of her trying to keep composure and generally not being good at it. Her productivity problems might annoy people but no one can really be mad at their employer-provided cumdump for long. (see: the "mistakes in your report" dialogue)
The feeling of sluttiness endearing you to a community or allowing them to gloss over flaws/mistakes is a powerful fantasy this game captures perfectly.
Decided to check this out after playing the demo for Queen's Brothel and subbing to Patreon for the game. This one was pretty neat, got kind of exciting as the timer got down to the wire and Candace completed the report with 2 seconds left!
This game is amazing, its so simple yet one of my favorites! The free use concept is really fun and i cant wait till the next update. Will there ever be a version which you are the colleague instead who gets to use Candace
We're working on new pics right now and then we'll have an update. My January is busy, but I will hopefully make it happen this week. Making games has two difficulties. The first being coming up with ideas that you can realistically do. The second is knowing how to use a game engine and creating art assets.
The current concept is standard office work, add break room, meetings, the bosses office, work from home, etc. Get your work done, to earn money to pay your bills, dont get work done and you could get fired. Could totally be a huge game.

ma man legit had 2000 IQ moment naming the game
Nice work. Great artwork. Please continue :)
Really good proof of concept, eager to see where development takes it.
This is (was?) a fun short game. 🙂 Perhaps future developments can make it into a week of this getting harder each day. You could also have wardrobe and computer upgrades to make the different things easier. As it is, though, I think it's an amazing idea.
Is there a patreon version ?
No, not yet!
Damn this game looks so good even in this state i hope it gets finished
This was a really nice game! The premise is simple but executed very well
game is awesome
Awesome update. Hoping you add an endless mode or a gallery with auto-play later.
I was really surprised and impressed by this! The premise is simple, but effective. Execution and art are great. Even with very little content, it's extremely promising.
I honestly like the main menu music.
Where did you get it?
We have a great composer on our team.
Thanks.
Man this is such a great and interesting game, i like the way you have to manage how you do things to use your time right, it definitely needs a little more randomness to it because it repeats the same things in the same order but still fun, i also love the sketch style it's interesting and if you ever consider using the full drawings i would suggest leaving a mode to only see the sketches, also some other game modes or maybe different sceneries would be nice, this game is definitely a 9/10 for me and i hope it keeps getting better, keep up the good work
Much better than I thought it'd be. Great for killing time.
great game took me a few tries but i beat it
God I love watching things develop, keep up the great work, amazing things are bound for you
Please work more on this, it's a great project that definitely deserves to be built on.
Honestly, this is a really interesting and fun game. Will be following for more
very cool game) I will wait for updates)
Great game!!! Can't wait to see the full game from you guys!
I'm leaving a comment to say the game is great.
Can't wait for more updates.
I can't believe how amazing this game is just on the premise and gameplay alone. Once there's some finished art on it and it's easily one of the goats
Finished with a PB of 41 seconds
Well for one, keeping track of when the fake-out "I'm coming over" message comes in, and getting the right timing for clothes removal/dressing. The skirt is more important to keep on than the shirt, as shirtless vs shirted has a lower productivity debuff than skirtless vs skirt on.
mans speed running
Surprisingly difficult! I finished the report with a second to spare, but that might just be my shoddy time management
This is FANTASTIC! Unique premise, great art even if they're just sketches atm.
You perfectly capture the "free use slut" fantasy in a setting I've not seen done in a game yet.
Love the interactions and the multi- micro-managing of clothes/texting/fucking.
If you ever want additional help with writing, I'd happily volunteer. This genre of sluttiness is my JAM!!
Is this a maegan hall simulator
Man, this is really coming together now! Good job!
Awesome game, dude. Been playing this and excited for the updates. Awesome art and sex scenes, waiting for more. Maybe some sort of progression system could work (days of work, etc.)
OMG this is god game
it would be pretty cool to see some things to do after work like go to the store or maybe she can go to the conference room if the play feels bold enough to take the risk of loosing alot of time
New art is great!

Would be fun if players could customize the girl.
In the previous versions I imagined her being a brunette with a blue dress.
Add that, and a horny meter that detracts from her productivity unless kept low, then you have yourself a great game.
ps. Adding rounds/days and more/different tasks to be done in time would spice up gameplay. But tweak the difficulty a bit so it doesn't become impossible to beat.
the juggling of clothes and work/fuck is fun
for next lvls I think more things to juggle would be nice, like she gets an arousal bar that affects her performance. or the company has a busy day and nobody comes to visit, which sucks for morale, so she has to send messages out to entice them to visit her

What do you like about the old one compared to this one?

hey mate can i have the sources for the gifs ?

Thank you. I would like to stick with the player being Candace. Although your idea does sound like a cool idea for a separate game.
I understand. You did a really good job with the facial expressions also, keep it up! do you have any estimate for when the next update will be?
If you dont mind me asking, how hard is it to make these types of games? ( i always contemplated attempting to make one)
We're working on new pics right now and then we'll have an update. My January is busy, but I will hopefully make it happen this week.
Making games has two difficulties. The first being coming up with ideas that you can realistically do. The second is knowing how to use a game engine and creating art assets.
can you make 32bit version for windows?
I believe this version should work on both 64 and 32, have you tried?
this is a really well done game so far!
really enjoyed the game, would be fun to see a whole office management game built around this concept.
that would be epic!
The current concept is standard office work, add break room, meetings, the bosses office, work from home, etc. Get your work done, to earn money to pay your bills, dont get work done and you could get fired. Could totally be a huge game.
