Relive the thrill of using Windows 95 in this office simulator

Laura Hudson 8:40 am Tue Nov 24, 2015

Remember back in the heady days of the mid-1990s, when playing computer games felt like running around in a endless maze of cardboard walls? Relive it today in Payroll, a game that simulates both the excitement of working in an office building, and the thrill of running Windows 95, complete with 640×480 pixel resolution and sound effects ripped from an Adlib sound card.

You play as a diligent employee working in an office that also seems trapped in the '90s, complete with noisy fax machines and X-Files posters on the walls. You have a computer, and its screens will tell you what you need to do.

Payroll is only about 20 minutes long, and available for $1 on itch.io. Naturally, it's Windows only.
