Work Work Work Work Work
Defeat Primrose-sama's sleep deprivation monsters before they become real. 💤
Select the monster card to attack. Get more cards and craft runes to become overpowered. 💥
Overworking is unhealthy. Probably. I guess. Maybe. 😓
You should find something meaningful to do other than work. (Like playing this game? 🥺👉👈)
After all, what’s the point of all work... if we never had fun, never enjoyed, never had a life?
(Actually, the card game is not that fun, don't play it! ( •◡
(You can just skip the card game and enjoy the story.)
(… you're allowed to skip the story too... but I will be sad… >
Living is Expensive… is a short and funny visual novel you wouldn’t want to miss.
