| A Week in the Life of Asocial Giraffe puts you in the hooves of Giraffe, a man of simple means. He enjoys listening to lo-fi music, drinking matcha, eating sushi, taking care of his succulent plants, and writing haikus. There's just one problem: Giraffe is so anxious about being in social situations that his head will literally explode if he ever talks to anyone.
That's a big problem, as Giraffe lives in Friendly City - voted Friendliest City in the World! Every day, cordial neighbors all want to stop and chat. Or ask Giraffe to help them with their problems. Or share their life story. So Giraffe must use his wits to stealthily sneak around Friendly City and avoid its overly loquacious residents. | |

| Experience an average week of Giraffe's life as he goes about exciting things on his to-do list, such as going to the laundromat, perusing antique stores, purchasing groceries, and working out at the gym - all while making sure the incredibly sociable citizens of Friendly City never have a chance to speak with him! Are you giraffe enough to get through the week without talking to anyone?

| "Sometimes the smallest slice-of-life social interactions can be really draining, so we got to thinking 'what if we could find comically convoluted ways to avoid them?'" said Remy Karns, writer and level designer at Quail Button. "That's how A Week in the Life of Asocial Giraffe was born. That and the age-old question: what if I were a giraffe? Obviously."
This game is for anyone who dreads having to make small talk, who prefers silence to society, or who has staged a coma to avoid a chatty neighbor. | |
