News: If you want to find out what it is like being a giraffe with social anxiety in a friendly town, be sure to check out this demo.

Quail Button has quietly placed a demo for their upcoming comedy point-and-click adventure game A Week in the Life of Asocial Giraffe on Steam. Now you can try the game that asks the question: are you giraffe enough to get through the week without talking to anyone?

A Week in the Life of Asocial Giraffe puts you in the hooves of Giraffe, a fellow 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.

This demo encapsulates four everyday conundrums Giraffe must endeavor as he goes about his quaint life. Help him commute through a busy subway, get his photo ID taken, retrieve his mail, and purchase his favorite beverage from the grocery store - all without talking to a single person.

“We’ve all been in situations where we’re not feeling social, yet have to engage with other people, and we realized there was potential to make a game out of this,” said Remy Karns, writer and level designer at Quail Button. “This demo offers a taste of the puzzles, humor, and tone of A Week in the Life of Asocial Giraffe. We can’t wait to show you more!”

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.

Key Features:

A story about avoiding social contact at all costs, so Giraffe can live his best life

A chore-filled week's worth of levels that combine the logic and humor of point-and-click adventure puzzles with the tension of stealth games
