It’s Always Monday, the worst kind of horror imaginable.
I’ been searching for different horror games to play for the month of October, and this one came up on the Steam list. It makes sense, because nobody likes Mondays, and the fact that you have to suffer through Mondays as an every day thing, it sounds like it’d be the worst horror of all.

Explanation to Negative Feedback
Computer situation is odd
For one of the endings of the game, you’re on the computer and click on some naughty videos to watch.
When your boss (or so we think) starts to head over, you’re given a keybind to press in order to close out the browser, except no matter how many times you click the keybind, the browser stays up, so it’s a little misleading. I mean, I understand you’re supposed to get caught in order to achieve that ending, but…it made me think something wasn’t working right in game.
Honestly, I should’ve known it was supposed to do that after a day passed for getting caught, but…I’m not always quick on the draw when something doesn’t work the way it should.
Perhaps not the best ending
I mean, I get the logic behind it. Nobody likes reliving the exact same Monday in almost the exact same way with no way to escape because for some reason the boss decided it was best to lock the only doors leading to an appropriate exit.
Keep in mind, I’m not complaining about the ending itself, but how other people might not see it as “appropriate.”
I can see it as appropriate, if it’s the only way out of this hell-hole we find ourselves in. And everyone else felt the same way apparently because there’s nobody else in the building but us.
Explanation to Positive Feedback
Humorous
I appreciate the humor in a setting that is not at all funny. I swear sometimes having too much fun in a workplace is just a shame-on-you moment.
If a job’s boring, you have to lighten the mood.
Short
It doesn’t overstay its welcome and it gets the point across that working a 9-5, stuck on a daily Monday with the same mundane coworkers working on the same mundane task is the absolute worst. And since nobody wants to stick to the same routine for too many days, especially not at work, the game shortens your pain of this horrifying position you’re in.
