Getting Started - Clocking Out Against All Odds
New to I Don't Do Overtime? Starter orientation: the attendance bonus, the knockback rule, and surviving rush hour as your first commute-war.
Your goal fits in a punch card: get home on time, bonus intact. The official stakes are the most relatable in gaming — “You just want to get home on time and collect your precious attendance bonus.” The obstacles: coworkers, team leaders, bosses, rush hour, and eventually the company’s cosmic HQ.

First Session Habits (community estimates)
- Learn to shove before you learn to shoot. The knockback rule means your first hour is geometry practice: aim at walls, not people.
- Read each encounter’s furniture. Obstacles are ammunition; scan rooms the way other FPS players scan sightlines.
- Chase the secrets, not just the exit. “Uncover corporate secrets” is official — a game this comic hides its best jokes off the main path. (content official; habit community)
What Kind of Journey Is It?
Officially: rush hour to cosmic HQ, with a flooded city and a suspicious desert assignment named along the way — an absurd commute escalation. See our levels guide. (journey: official)
