No, it’s not quite what you’re thinking - that’s apparently how long the above game ‘Bob’s Game’ has taken to create - its maker, Robert Pelloni taking five years over the project.

It’s a little rough-and-ready (what do you expect from homebrew?) but it looks genuinely interesting, and the game is said to have quite a few interesting ideas. From the developer’s description it sounds like communication plays a big part, and for my money it seems a little like Skip’s Japanese-only Giftpia, only in a more realistic setting.

Fingers crossed a publisher picks this up, as Pelloni deserves to be rewarded for his efforts, and a bit of funding would go a long way with this sort of idea.
