Have you ever wanted to experience the stressful existence of a salaryman? Well, look no further! In Pocket Salaryman, take control of a salaryman's destiny, leaping over obstacles both physical and metaphorical in your efforts to 'win' the 'game' of unyielding company loyalty. 

Revel in the ambiguity of 1-bit, 84x48 pixel art! Are you hurrying to and from work, or is the 'game world' merely an abstract representation of a deeper existential crisis? Is that a stranger vomiting into the gutter, or your own tortured soul?

Made in nine days for NOKIA 3310 JAM 8, Pocket Salaryman removes luck from the equation, as success or failure relies purely on your ability to press a single button repeatedly at certain intervals; a truly accurate corporate drudge simulator.

WARNING: contains pixelated depictions of suicide, alcoholism, and karaoke.
