What Goes Behind Making a Game Like "Dead End Job"?

New Developer Video Interview Available (feat. Tony Gowland)

25 November 2019 For most of us, “another day at the office” does not involve vacuuming up ghosts and battling other sinister spirits.

What would inspire someone to create such a zany concept? Well, that’s what today’s new video interview aims to answer, as the team at Ant Workshop explains what the creation process was like for this wild and wacky game!  Don’t wait — watch the video now and see what’s up with this ghost-bustin’ adventure as it prepares for release on PC, Xbox One, PS4, and Nintendo Switch on Friday, the 13th of December.

Tag along with our hero for just another day at the office as he heads all over town to offices overrun by spirits, wraith-infested restaurants, and other creepy community buildings with his good old ghost bustin’ vacuum pack and trusty ol’ plasma blaster, putting abhorrent apparitions to rest for GOOD!
