PAGER
Hi! Thanks to all your feedback and support since the prototype, PAGER has now been released as a full game with 60 floors!
The web version features a 10-floor demo. The full game experience is similar to the demo but features more levels and new things to discover.
I hope you enjoy it!
ABOUT THE GAME
You are wetware, working a mysterious job.
PAGER is a 1-bit 3D Kafkaesque experience in a 90s office building.
Obey the pager to survive and climb the corporate ladder.
FEATURES
- 1-bit 3D graphics.
- 60 weird and beautiful floors.
- It has some horror and humor.
- The story is conveyed in a very indirect way.
- The levels aren't about the destination.
- It shouldn't give you any satisfaction.
- Caffeine-addicted butterflies.
Inspired by Severance, Franz Kafka, David Lynch, The Prisoner (1967), The Stanley Parable, Sonny Boy, Serial Experiments Lain
I hope you find it interesting! Thank you for playing!

I will make a YouTube video and the first about this game!
the best artstyle of a game ive seen so far in my life. big shoutout always when I see such stuff I dream of being able do develop games myself
Me too
Nausea inducing, just the way I like it! 10/10
c'et bien mais les épileptiques en sueur
This is really cool, well done
really fun game! just fyi the cursor lock doesn’t work in duckduckgo, but i swapped over to firefox to play and it ran fine. love the graphics and the overall vibe, super neat concept! can’t wait to see more
I love the style, i love the ideas
Eu irei comprar o jogo completo, eu realmente gostei
I loved this demo, looks fantastic. All the best for your game deve journey
OMG FINALLY OUT!!!!!!!!11
What an awesome aesthetic!!! 😳
this looks fantastic!
Congratulations on the full game release !!
just played the demo. It is great I might be buying it.
ig he owes me a lot now
Red

(If this isn't already a floor, you're welcome for the idea.) A floor where you finally talk to the thing itself that gives you instructions.
I know nothing about this game but I love the art
why does it look so weird at a small scale
and how is that not happening to the images below the video
hey, thank you!! For the game, the minimum resolution is 640x360, and it uses integer scaling and crisp pixels. For the images, the browser scales them by blurring so that might be the difference.
integer scaling is such a chef's kiss detail for this aesthetic. love when devs actually understand the technical side of retro visuals instead of just slapping a filter on it
Enjoyed this. Will there ever be a Mac version?
nice and fun to play and i like the style and art and fun gameplay
10/10 Would job again
Pretty good! I could see myself playing the full version if it is free.
this game was pretty good, solid 4/5, i enjoyed.
I really don't know where the controls are only WASD and QP
Very nice art style even though the short render distance is quite unpleasant visually, but there is no gameplay and all this walking around was ruined by the extremely annoying messages that forcefully stop you every few steps which is just unbearable. Taking away controls like that is the worst you can do while the player tries to explore the environment. I've never read that nonsense and still was able to finish the game, thus there is no place for it. Get rid of it and maybe then I will wishlist, but TBH I feel like I've seen everything this game can offer.
i love how you made the game look, did you write the shader yourself or can i find it online
Well that's pretty unusual, but I'm definitely intrigued. P.S. Awesome game!
:)
This needs to be a PlayDate game! It looks awesome!
i like butt
This was amazing! Thank you for an awesome demo~ looking forward to the full game!
I kinda think it would be cool if the sound effects were 1 bit aswell, this could maybe increase the immersion, maybe something like Tim follins startip 2. on the zx spectrum
This game is great!! Nice job :D
such a cool game good job :)
this is very cool
This is a cool game but I am having trouble getting to the elevator after completing the task of setting the box on a desk in room 1
me too
There is a box behind a pillar
cool black and white env
Looks cool, but the cursor lock doesn't work for me.
thanks for the feedback! which OS and browser are you using?
chromium on linux
thank you! yes, chromium on linux doesn’t support the cursor lock method l'm using. I'll look into alternative methods
how i do this level if i need always carry the box before entering
perhaps there is a second box after failing once
I loved this demo ! I can't wait to play the full version !
