3 out of 10: Season One

About

3 out of 10: Season One is a comedic single-player game that lets you live the chaos of a struggling video game studio. Play as Shovelworks Studios developers dealing with broken code, corporate nonsense, and absurd deadlines. The gameplay shifts between mini-adventures like puzzle solving, arcade challenges, and even a beat-em-up, all tied to the show’s running jokes. Each level feels like a sitcom episode, with over-the-top characters and running gags that mock industry tropes. The game’s humor leans into cringe and self-awareness, poking fun at crunch culture and bad management. It released in 2020 to polarized reviews but built a cult following for its bold weirdness. Players appreciate the meta commentary and how it weaves gameplay with its animated series roots. Available on PC and consoles, it’s a short but memorable ride for those who enjoy irreverent takes on creative workplaces.
