Office Slacking 2 Overview
Office Slacking 2 was one of those games you'd find tucked away on a Flash portal in the late 2000s. It fit right in with the era's simple, humorous browser games about avoiding work. You play as Sarah, an office employee whose main goal is to get through the day without actually doing any work.
You control Sarah from a side view of her cubicle, using the mouse or keyboard to move her around. The moment to moment play involves clicking on objects to interact with them. You might have her take a nap at her desk, browse social media on her computer, or sneak off to get a coffee. The main objective is to waste time on these activities without getting caught by the boss, who periodically walks through the office. If he sees you slacking, it's game over. The pacing is relaxed but punctuated by moments of tension when you hear the boss approaching and need to quickly return to looking busy. It feels like a silly, low-stakes game of cat and mouse set against the dull backdrop of an office.
