Introduction

Survive till Friday is an office card game from minionslaba about getting through a workweek while burnout closes in. You move from Monday morning to Friday at 6 PM by deciding 25 situations, mostly with a swipe left or right. Each choice shifts four meters: Sanity, Energy, Boss, and Team. If any meter hits 0% or 100%, the week ends early, so the game asks you to balance your character's state, the boss's mood, and the team's stability. The tone is humorous, drawing on office annoyances such as deadlines, calls, and the last cookie. The game includes a 52-week career with 13 levels, moving from entry-level work toward starting your own company. There are thousands of office situations, plus 54 short break games that last about a minute, including hiding from coworkers or looking competent on a video call. Mira, the office psychologist, provides tips and quick self-checks, and an overheat meter helps track whether the character is burning out. A Daily Week gives everyone the same scenario set with a leaderboard. It is free, needs no sign-up, and is available in English and Russian; the full version saves progress across devices. Characters are fictional, and Mira's advice is about healthy habits rather than professional care.
