Executive Dysfunction

Your body has filed a formal complaint.

After years of irregular meals, questionable posture, unnecessary emergency responses, and at least one incident involving tequila, your organs have had enough. They've unionized.

The problem is: you're the Brain. Welcome to your disciplinary hearing. 

Executive Dysfunction is a short choice-based narrative comedy about Body, Mind and terrible management.

Average playtime: 10–15 minutes
Endings: 3

THE BODY vs. BRAIN

Your organs have complaints and evidence. Listen to the charges and try to explain why, despite everything presented at the hearing, you should still be allowed to run the place.

You can apologize, you can argue, or you can do what management does best and blame another department. Eventually, your organs will vote on whether you get to remain in control. Assuming they can stop arguing long enough to do it.

CONTROLS
