"First Day At The Job - A Monsters Story" is a point and click adventure. You play a monster that has a new job: to scare small kids. You try to make his first day at this job successful.

Information on how to play you will find in the game. I suggest to try out different item combinations.

The game has three major issues:
- no pathfinding for the monster, you have to walk manually around objects
- and you can pick up items without being near them (so walking is acutally not required)
- no sounds

Despite that I wanted to submit it because its the first game I ever finished and my first Ludum Dare.

I used: Unity 5, C#, Visual Studio 2015, Pyxel Edit.

I think I figured out all the combinations. I like the premise, and have a soft spot for point and click adventures. There's plenty that could be improved upon, but I still enjoyed playing. Congrats on your first LD. Hope to see you again.

Cool game. You could put more actions. I finished with the three main scare options.

Thank you all for the nice words. It means a lot to me. I learned a lot during development and know about all the weaknesses. The game is clearly missing content because i was struggeling with some other parts of development. But every single positive word here in the comments gave me motivation for continuing game development. Thank you!

Reminds me of a particular Flash game where each thing you do produces an ending. It also gives the monster a goofy twist, so congrats!
