They Don't Want You To Work
This is a game designed to be played throughout your workday/session if you are someone who works at a desk.  They do not want you to work. They want you to play with Them, and build Them a nice city to live in. You should do what they ask. The items needed are the kind frequently found at desks, including paper clips, sticky notes, notebooks, business cards, and your smartphone or computer, however, expect more updates with more games using other workstation items.  If you have a request for an item to be made into a mini-game for this - please let me know in a comment or by email at superdillin@gmail.com and I will include one in the update!
