The Salesman

You play as a recently laid-off worker trying to manage dwindling money while searching for a new job. The story unfolds over repeated days at home, where job applications and everyday routines become increasingly unsettled.

Move through the house to handle ordinary tasks such as checking messages, preparing food, watching TV, taking out the trash, and going to bed. The routine repeats, with small changes as the situation develops.

A corporation's salesman offers ad-supported replacements for household belongings. Trading possessions brings its advertising further into the home, and a decision near the end leads to one of two endings.

In the supplied reviews, players often enjoy the salesman and the strange, funny commercials, along with the game's satirical take on job insecurity and consumerism. Some also find the slow-burn atmosphere unsettling or appreciate how the repetitive routine supports the premise. Others feel that the short playtime and limited, repetitive tasks leave too little to do, and opinions differ on how effectively the game scares.
