Pool Friday

Recently graduated, a young person begins working at a shady company that is set on controlling other people's lives.

It was made using the Game Maker engine and Clip Studio Paint for the art. The soundtrack was composed by the developer, and was made using FL Studio and Audacity.

The game is a surreal satire on seedy corporations, self-help gurus and the maliciousness underneath it all. It also tackles one of the darkest chapters in Brazil's history and Gen Z job-related anxieties.

With a mixed media visual style, a linear narrative and a very straightforward gameplay mechanic, Pool Friday is both a homage to the surrealist freeware games that influenced the developer when growing up and an attempt to continue this "tradition" of unconventional independent games.

It was made as my thesis project for my bachelor's degree in Animation at the Federal University of Santa Catarina, and has since been featured on publications such as PC Gamer, Warp Door and Weird Fucking Games.

It was released on October 25, 2025. It is available to play on itch.io:
