Resignation

Created by Marcela Stolzmann as a final project for the game development course I teach.

Resignation is a turn-based, strategy-focused boss rush RPG about an overly polite office worker who is trying to quit his job — and has to psychologically fight his way out. Dave is a chronic yes-man: he takes on extra work, covers for coworkers, never asks for raises, and quietly absorbs exploitation. When he finally decides to quit, the company resists, because he's too useful to let go.

The demo focuses on a single boss encounter (The Manager), preceded by a short exploration segment and a mandatory Battle Prep phase. The game blends surreal humor, emotional resource management, and challenging turn-based combat inspired by classic JRPGs.
