Game Cycle is a faux retro shareware collection with story elements! 

As a recently-contracted games analyst, you are tasked by the CEO of Best Value Games to make sure the games set to be included in their upcoming release are up to code. You can get the job done by playing each game for a few minutes, or you could be thorough and try for bonus pay by completing every objective on the checklist. After your work for the day is done, you can go right to sleep and wait for tomorrow.

You did just move into this neighborhood, though. Why not go down to the hot tub and chill out for a bit? Maybe get to know some of the people that live close by?

Are you up to the task? Try the demo and test your endurance!

◉ Re-discover the bygone era of shareware CD-ROMs!

◉ Play over TWENTY games! (...of varying quality)

◉ Complete objectives for each game, or do the bare minimum!

◉ Chill in a hot tub and learn about your neighbors!

◉ Multiple endings and paths you can take!

Note: As of July 2025, due to Itch.io's updated - and highly unreliable / untrustworthy - content policies that seek to censor and hurt creators for their artistic expressions and merits at the demands of the payment processors, this game will no longer be available for sale on the website for the foreseeable future. Please purchase the game on Steam or Gamejolt instead; the game is still DRM-free on either platform.
