A burnt-out office worker falls asleep at his desk and dreams he can type the world into being — but every command costs a piece of his mind.

You walk left and right. That part is free. The rest you write.

OVER SCRIPT is a 2D puzzle-platformer with an always-open terminal. There are no items to pick up and no buttons to mash — you solve each room by typing directives into the H# console: spawn a box to cross water, bind a lever to build a bridge, conjure the blocks you need from nothing.

But nothing here is free. Every directive writes into the system and spends MEMORY — and the deeper you descend, the more of the dream rots around you. Spend too much and the floor starts to glitch: random tiles corrupt and turn lethal, the stress of an overloaded mind bleeding through. Run out completely and the system breaks down — and you meet the colleague you've been all along.

Keep Every Variable In Negotiation. Every command is a trade. Every shortcut you cut today is a hazard you step around tomorrow. The only way through is to write less by writing smarter.

How it plays

  • Type spawn box, spawn lever, int x, spawn lever {spawn block x ; x + 1} — a tiny language that turns into bridges, switches, and traps.
  • Watch your MEMORY. It's the whole game: how much of yourself you have left tonight.
  • Reach the end with memory to spare and you wake up. Burn it all and you don't.

Controls

  • Arrow keys — move / jump
  • Enter — run the line / flip a nearby lever
  • Type anytime — the console is always listening (type help)

Made for Bezi Jam 11 (theme: K.E.V.I.N. — Keep Every Variable In Negotiation). A game about technical debt, burnout, and the price of fixing everything yourself.

This is by far the BEST game about scripts being over in this jam.
