What is Awkward Valley?

A free, single-player 2D simulation about managing a surreal life caught in a time loop. Each morning, you drag activities from a notebook into a schedule, then start the day and watch the results. A small deck-building system adds choices that change how your routine plays out.

For you if...

+you like micromanaging schedules and testing different activity combinations
+you enjoy absurd humor about ordinary daily life

Not for you if...

−you want hands-on action instead of scheduling and observing
