A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Made in 72hrs for Ludum Dare 44: Your Life is Currency.

The Branch is a ‘slice of life’ documentary looking at the staff who work at the local high street bank.

In tonight’s first episode we meet branch manager - Clinton Meeks. Clinton’s obsession with currency is preventing him from ever loaning the bank’s money to anybody! In charge of the Bureau de Change is xenophobe - Mildred Pew. An elderly woman who’s only interested in the GBP and wants to get rid of all other currency. Then finally there’s body builder, branch security and delivery driver - Derek Armageddon, who’s suffered a severe spinal injury since using the vault as his personal gym. For these 3 people - currency is their life.

Tune in now!

The Branch is a simple narrative driven experience. Meet the characters and play out their day to day activities. There is no winning or losing, just doing. Have fun!

i loved the game hope it gets finished soon <3

Really good game to play. Not a lot to do but the stories all seem to be a bit like watching an episode of the office and the voice acting is superb. Looks and plays really well. Fantastic... :)
