A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

This game contains adult themes of a homosexual nature! If you are not fine with that, please leave now!


"Overworked!" follows Hoss, a horse moving to the big city of Foxdale. A city known for opportunity, love, and demons. After losing his funds in a phishing accident, A job search leads him to Kenji Handy, a local handyman business. Join Hoss as he meets new friends, foes, and uncovers the mystery of his missing bank account!

Overworked is a furry, adult, visual novel-style point-and-click mystery where time is of the essence.  Will you spend time with the locals? Or work towards the main story's goal? 

Overworked works with a "Calendar System" where some actions will advance the time of day.  The story of "Overworked" is linear, but the choices  Hoss can make throughout can influence his relationships with the various inhabitants of Foxdale.

There are currently six planned dateable characters that are interactable throughout the game's overarching story. 

Overworked would be nothing without our talented team!

PLEASE KEEP YOUR FEEDBACK CIVIL AND CONSTRUCTIVE. Remember, we're a small team and we built Overworked! out of our desire to build a great game.

PLEASE NOTE: At this time, we do not support installation via Itch.io Launcher / Butler. We may add this support in the future, but for now please access the download directly from this page.

FOR USERS CONCERNED ABOUT A POTENTIAL VIRUS:

We created this game using the Godot Engine and we embedded the game content into the final EXE that is produced. That's why you only see a single EXE file in the download. We made this decision as it was easier to package and distribute rather than a large zip with tons of files in it.

Embedding the PCK does have advantages, but also can be falsely identified as a virus. You can find more information here: https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/45563

While we want everyone to enjoy Overworked and all the hard work we put into it, all we can do is provide you with information and our assurance that it is NOT a virus. If you choose not to play the game, that is absolutely your choice. We hope you will try it out, but we understand if you don't want to.

Install instructions

Windows - Simply unzip and run the application.

Android - Unzip and install the APK file.

MacOS - Unzip and run the .app file - You may get prompted about the app being unsigned / unlicensed depending on your system settings. Unfortunately our team doesn't have a budget for Apple Developer licensing and in our testing the app seemed to work just fine without it. 

TO workaround it: Newer Mac OS versions require you go to the system settings -> privacy & security and choose "allow apps from App Store and know developers" . When an unsigned app is loaded you go back to the privacy and security and select load app anyway and then say yes and put your password in.  

Older versions of Mac OS -> right click load app or option click load app.

(Special thanks to gamejunkie999 for providing these helpful hints)

Linux - Unzip and run the file.

SteamDeck - We've found the best results with using the Windows version running with Proton9. You can use the touch screen for pretty much everything you need in game.

I have a problem with finding gym event on Day 9, i can't understand how to start it. Can someone explain it to me pls :(

working out with Vargos is only available if you’ve done Coach Walter’s Rank 2. Gotta do that first before it will unlock.

(+1)

Any plans for a guide or something of the like? 

(+1)(-1)

Hello, i dont know if you all already said that, but does every character has a preference role, or is every one versatile and you choose? Cause to me the MC looks more of a bottom, but i dont really know.

great game.

(1 edit) (+1)

As I am not a native English speaker, I used a translator to write this.

There are bugs throughout the game where dialogue fails to progress. This occurs particularly when reloading the game or using the 'skip' function.

Also, the arrows needed to navigate within the game are frequently missing.

This game has significant potential. However, I believe the bugs I’ve shown are critical and hinder game progression.

+ Is 'UBEAR' not a supported feature yet? It only displays the map and doesn't offer any navigation functionality.

Put that errors in the "here in our error log" below of feedback

This game is AMAZING!!! there's a bit of soft locking bugs like the ui not showing up so I couldn't leave the room, or when I talk to someone their sprite shows up but not the text. But other than that, I FRICKING LOVE IT!!!. I am a pretty big fan of all these bulges everywhere heheheh... PLEASE more Matt... I love my chubby otter men!!!

(+1)

Okay so this game has a LOT of bugs...

This is about the 4th time I've gotten softlocked for... playing the game. Not even doing anything weird. Please have a look into this as there is a lot of potential

thanks for letting us know. Will have a look.

Hi! So just bug reporting as I don't know of any discord, but you're able to select movement between rooms during conversations which will lead to softlocking the game

Thanks for letting us know, first I’ve heard about room movements during conversations. Will have a look.

Hi, so not sure if I just got softlocked, but I'm on like day 1?(Day after you arrive) and after waking up and leaving the bedroom I think I'm softlocked... is there a discord I can ask for help on?

(+1)

This game actually very immersive and detailed! Would love to actually date them all— even that Oliver lifeguard guy, and Jay as well like— there's so many fine shyts (not forcing but I'm hoping there'd be more Dalton and Ivan scenes!)

(+1)

I cried, peak game, cant wait for more contents

(1 edit)

Game softlocked. I went to beach, saw the scene where you need to get food for the seagull. Got him his food. The demon guy said to come back later for the zlorp. I left, passed time, came back. Demon guy said to check the stall for zlorp. 

But I cannot check the stall. Clicking stall does nothing. And also the movement arrows disappeared. So I cannot leave the screen. Cannot do anything. Hoss trapped on the beach for all eternity. Sad

I save the game and re-load the game to try to refresh it. Arrow button appears now, but clicking it does nothing. Hoss still trapped on the beach :(

restart the game, i got same bug and i fixed it after restart the game ( and reload the save too )

oh yes OK seems it work again after re-opening the game. I guess simply re-loading the save was not enough

thanks for letting us know! Will have a look

Me encantaaa, no entiendo mucho el ingles pero igualmente lo disfruté, por lo mismo que no entiendo mucho no puedo tener una relacion romantica con ningún personaje, queria conocer mejor la demonio azul de la playa pero no pude.
Ojalá puedan seguir trayendo más días, me gustaria seguir jugandolo <3

(+1)

Love the game so far. Its fairly simple but the characters and dialogue feel natural. Just wanted to ask tho, will Ivan be a dateable character in the future?

(+1)

We don’t have plans for Ivan to be dateable right now, but you never know ;)

Hey just want to ask, when will version 1.1.4 drop? Its alredy pass 11 august, sorry for the trouble

Builds always realese the last Wednesday of the month!

(+2)

I do wish there were a few more save slots. Having 6 dateables and 3 slots kinda feels like having to pick your three favourites and not worry about the others unless you're willing to keep restarting which, while not too much of a problem at the moment will probably be a greater and greater ask as the game develops. Which is a shame, since I'm liking a lot oof the characters so far and don't really want to leave some by the wayside.

(+1)

We have 12 in the latest builds on patreon!

(+1)

I love this game so much!! 😍 All the characters are just awesome, the world building as well! Eleven out of ten among nines! ♥︎

The game is really good, just needs some better mobile optimization, I keep crashing during the evening section of day 2, right around where diana reveals she ate the last cake slice

That’s really strange, we’ve tried testing it on a variety of phones and tablets but can’t seem to make it happen. Can you provide any additional info? 

(+2)

The game is really good! I only have a question, do you plan to implement a gallery where could be available the full ilustrations and animations?

(+1)

We do plan to put a Gallery in at some point!

I loved the demo for this game it’s a lot of fun and can’t wait for more to come and what ideas you will cook up next but I got lost and can’t find the ticket for the seagull guy and I searched everywhere and clicked all over is there something that I missed that you could direct me to figuring out the answer to that question please I’m so lost also maybe more than 3 save files might help a bit too since I tend to save scum a lot myself when paying Vn’s like this other than that keep up the great work!!

There’s a very environmentally friendly raccoon who might know where the meal ticket is ;)

thank you so much that’s nice to know cuz I was definitely confused lol 

(1 edit) (+2)

I am LOVINGGGG this game so much!! As someone trying to learn simple coding I give all the props and kudos to the team cause I can't imagine the work and sleepless hours spent on this. I do wanna add, that with all of this hard work yall have put in, the small number of save slots is keeping many players from being able to freely enjoy all of the hard work put into the immersivness and number of choices able to be made in this game!! Please dont take offense, I mean this in the least passive agressive way possible, truely! I just wish I could explore and appreciate all of the hard work put in without scacrificing storylines and events to do so.

(+2)

we appreciate the feedback! Our choice on three save slots is something we may reconsider and expand on down the road. For the moment- we felt it encouraged players to replay and enjoy the experience all over again instead of just having a large amount of saves and exploring everything in a single play through. But we do listen to feedback and change accordingly!

For what it's worth, it's created a different problem in my experience; I'm discouraged from replaying because I've reached the end of the current build on all three save slots (which I've designated for different routes) and starting all the way over again feels like it would take too long. 

That’s a fair point, stay tuned for build 1.1.5! Or you could check out our Patreon for early access.

How transfer save files from the previous version to the new one? I don't want to go through everything all over again its nonsense

Did you see this devlog we posted about saving?

https://bearhut-studios.itch.io/overworked/devlog/1543449/save-system-debacle

Any additional information you can provide would be helpful. Which version? Which platform?

My messages app isn't launching either (Windows) but shows that I got new messages (the red dot). Super sick game so far!

Thanks for letting us know, we’ll have a look at the message indicator!

(1 edit)

The demo was good, although several times my phone's launcher didn't respond, but I think that's because of my phone

Is it possible that you'll release the OST at some point? It's really good and enjoyable

(+1)

Stay tuned! The OST continues to evolve and we’d love to release it at some point. 

(+2)

Hi, I just discovered this game and I absolutely love it! The only thing that bothers me is that there are only 3 save slots. It would be great if there were more so I could replay certain scenes or make different choices. Also, there's no fullscreen option in the settings. But otherwise, the game is great and I can't wait for the next updates.

(-10)

in the first minutes of gameplay there is a sex scene-
this isn't an issue, but the game explicitly says that the erotic scenes would be between consenting parties. I didn't really want to see that scene, the horse gave consent, I didn't..
it would be nice to have the option to skip it -_-

(+5)

You consented by clicking to 'Continue' at the start of the game, after you were warned about NSFW content.

Unless you worded your complaint in a really weird way and meant something else that should be elaborated on.

(-5)

I don't like the dragon and didn't want to see the character I play as getting sucked by him. I now understand the gameplay reason, being collecting replay plushes and teaching the player how to collect them in the wild, still- my bad

(-2)

I love the game and the characters so far! The problem is that it's asking me to interact with my neighbors. I already met a really cute demon guy, but now I can't interact with anything else. I've been to every part of the map and clicked on all the NPCs, but it won't let me progress. I can't even go to sleep because it keeps telling me to meet the neighbors, so the day won't advance. Has anyone else run into this or knows how to fix it?

Did you talk to the blue bun and red fox at the juice stand?

This demo was great I loved it!
Also how many zlops are currently in the game? I wanna make sure I didn't miss anything

(+2)

Logan (the team's secondary script writer) here! There are currently two obtainable Zlops in the game, with more coming in future.

(+5)

Bro this game is like listening to a good song after a long shift!

Thank you!

(+3)

Loved the game! So fun, so camp, so good! I'm really excited for more! 

And i wanna hang out more with that IT weirdo husky. Love Orion.

(+1)

We’re glad you like Orion! He’s a good boy~

(+1)

How do you use uBear

Coming soon!

(+1)

I loved this demo, can't wait for the full release of this game. <

It gets updates bi monthly!

(+1)

ughh this game is so cuteee Imma support some next week buuut I hope to see some updates soon no pressure or anything just saying I love the game a looot. honestly see the mc as myself a lot LMAO

Thank you! I’m glad you see yourself in Hoss!

(+2)

How i update the game?? :sob:

The latest build should replace the previous one

(+1)

Great game! Had so much fun playing :)

We’re happy to hear that!

So is the end of the demo in the evening after your first job? Because when I try to go to bed it just says "I should talk with the neighbors" and I've talked with literally every character. If it IS the end of the demo, you should really make it a lot more clear that it's the end of the demo, because none of the dialogue implies that.

It isn’t! The game does continue until 9-9

How to we get past this section? I think I've hit all available dialog, but it wont let me sleep.

Did you talk to the blue bun and red fox?

(1 edit) (+2)

I think that the game could use a gallery option or like a space in your room that triggers the Satin Room. Maybe more save files in the future. For now it's a very cool concept and the execution is great. Keep it up!

(+1)

Thank you!

Hi, I really enjoyed Overworked! Do you have a Discord server for the game where I can connect with other people and get updates?

(+1)

Yes! It’s for Patreons!

Hi! I´ve played this demo, and i´m anxious to see the new developments. Love the mixture of VN and minigames, making it more enjoyable and fun! My compliments to all your team and I´ll be awaiting for the next updates.

Thank you! It’ll be dropping VERY soon!

(+3)

How do, I use Ubear?? :

Not implemented just yet!
