On Leaving the Building

About

On Leaving the Building is a point-and-click adventure where you control The King, trapped in a mysterious office. Your goal is to finish a cryptic to-do list before escaping. The game relies on simple inventory puzzles and environmental exploration. The story unfolds through sparse dialogue and surreal set pieces. Short but dense, it leans into absurdist humor and unexpected twists. BRANE’s game stands out for its minimalist design and deadpan tone. The office setting feels both ordinary and oppressive, with small details hinting at larger mysteries. Player choices have subtle consequences, affecting the ending. Though brief, the experience lingers, blending dark comedy with existential themes. The 2017 release remains a cult pick for its bold, unconventional approach.
