OVERTIME (or Ego Breaks Her Way Out of His Own Head) is a sci-fi webcomic about a janitor... and some other things, like ego death, office drama, sad girls, questionable electronics, and robots; inspired by media like Half-Life, the SCP Foundation, and SOMA.

SYNOPSIS

Your name is Martin Heywood. You work at Site-A-01, a small government facility nestled in the mountains. The staff's current project: researching an archeological discovery of mechanical origin. Despite the secret nature of the site's work, your job there is rather plain: janitorial work; monotonous but well-paying.

One night at the end of your shift, a man you've never seen before walks up to you. He introduces himself as T(|-}4+ Omnixe, and he explains that you |\|+39.-4|_0|\|(3 4 1 P4.{0|_||\||)- + 0|= +3}{ p10|\| 4z \|/3|||A|_|_ 4Z {1z |)34.- p}{.-13|\||).

Before you can explain your confusion. can explain that to him he's already pulling you away, and soon you're brought into a mess much larger than you ever could have imagined.
Who are you, really? Who is Dr. Omnixe?

And most importantly, what's loose in Site-A-01?

ABOUT THE COMIC / RELEASE

I'd like to release the first update (likely here on Neocities, a la DECT) some time within the next few years.

My current plan is to post updates serially, one section at a time as opposed to weekly or monthly.
This is for a few reasons: to avoid unintentional cliffhangers, so I don't have to stress over "the next update" while in the midst of other projects, and so I can release it in the best quality possible.

OT's genre is action/adventure with horror/psychological elements, and judging by the size of the first draft, it will be roughly around the size of Problem Sleuth or Ruby Quest, (around 1k pages and 10k-30k words by the time it's finished... maybe).

I'm writing the A plot, as well as doing the art, and catboycephalopod is writing the B plot.
