Do you play games to relax? If so, this is not the game for you.

BURNT OUT is a game about the feeling of never being able to handle the stressors of daily life. Watch as, every time you complete a task, another one pops up. See how, even though you can only focus on one thing at a time, every other task takes up literal headspace and contributes to your burnout level. Mash your hands frantically on the keyboard to not fall behind.

How well can you handle your daily tasks? Only one way to find out!
