You now have the ability to beat your more successful friends with this fake life simulator. To win the game, you have to work your way up the corporate ladder, educate yourself and keep your sanity.

Key features:
Up to 4 players in local PvP.
Play online with your friends (or total strangers).
Single player vs CPU player (Skynet look out!).
Supports Keyboard, Mouse and Controllers (pass and play supported).
Finish missions, hex your friends and get a pet to gain the upper hand.
Decorate your apartment with cheap stuff and fancy things.
Educate your character, gain work experience and play the stock market.
Play peaceful mode for a less stressful experience, free from hexes.
Choose from 7 different avatars.

- Hex cards could multiply when a person rejoined a Online Game, this has been fixed.

Network changes rollback
We got some feedback from users that the new network code we implemented was causing them to be disconnecting quite frequently.
We decided to do a rollback on some of these network changes and will re-implement these changes at a later date.
Things should work as they did before. Let us know if you run into any trouble!
Hello Everyone!
We came back home from Gamescom a week ago. We have been recouping after an awesome time there. A lot of people came by our booth and we had heaps of fun introducing the game to new people. We got some good and positive feedback! We want to say a big thanks to everyone that came by!
As before we are focusing on improving stability after the big update. We have gotten a few bug reports from the community and we are focusing on fixing those ASAP.
We also noticed few things from playing the game 10 hours a day for 5 days straight at Gamescom that we want to tweak and improve. E.g. instead of giving players equal score for tied or not finished missions, we now give all players 0 as the other way took too much time.
Here is our 1.0.1 update log...

Version 1.0
Aug 21, 2019
Leaving Early Access - Version 1.0
Creating this game has been quite an adventure for all of us! It’s nowhere near over though. We will continue to support and expand the game (that includes a Nintendo Switch port).
We want to thank everyone who supported us through this 18 month journey: Family, friends and our community which has been invaluable in helping us shape and make No Time to Relax.
The 1.0 update comes with 3 new main features: Missions, Achievements and a new Score Screen.
Missions
- Mission System: Each game now has 3 random mission that give bonus points at the end of the game.
- Newspaper: To view these mission head over to the Market and buy the Newspaper.
Achievements
- 67 Achievements: We added 67 achievements to the game! Can you finish them all?!
New End Screen
- More Info: We've created a new score screen at the end of the game from scratch. Hope you like it!
Other
- Chinese & Russian Fonts: We added specific fonts for Chinese and Russian.
- Bank Tab Swapping: You can swap between the Bank and Investor with the swap tabs buttons.
- UI Polish: A lot of UI polish all over the place.
- Bug fixes: We searched high and low bugs and hopefully squashed them all!
- Close Building Hex Same building can now not be closed two weeks in a row with the Hex Curse.
The best and biggest thanks from all of us here at the Porcelain HQ!
Pet changes
After some feedback and internal discussions, we have decided to add the option to buy another pet if the former has died. You will still receive a penalty to your happiness and your new pet starts at zero.
Other Fixes
- Changed end game card text as the victor is now unknown.
- Fixed a bug with pets in multiplayer.

Here it is, the Pet Update! You can now invest in your very own furry friend. But just before you check out the new features, we'd like to announce something:
Two big announcements: The team will be present at the upcoming Gamescom trade fair in Cologne (20-24 August 2019). If you happen to attend please come by and say hello!
Second announcement is the official launch of the game from Early Access to full release. This update will include a completely revamped score screen, a mission system and some more goodies.
What does the launch of v1.0 mean for the future of the game? Don't fret or panic, we're not abandoning the game on the 21st! We will continue to update the game with bug fixes and features but on a slightly different schedule. We're a small studio and need to get the game on more platforms to reach a larger group of players. So, with this we're also announcing that No Time to Relax will launch on at least two additional platforms: The Nintendo Switch and Xbox.
With that our timeline has been shifted a little bit. Some features will be launched with the console release while other features ended up on the trash heap as we didn't feel they made the game more fun.
We are super excited to announce that No Time to Relax is coming to the Switch and Xbox. We plan to launch a free feature update (on all platforms) with the launch on each new platform. So for the next month or two the updates will address bugs and/or minor tweaks. We'll start with the Switch but don't have an exact date for you just yet (we'll tell you as soon as we know!).
Thanks and best regards from all of us here at the Porcelain HQ!

Pets
- Pet Store: Head over to the new Pet Store that just opened in the Mall and get your very own pet.
- Pets: After buying a pet you need to make sure it's well fed and happy (for those extra points!).
- Guardians: Your pet is not only a never-ending spring of joy, it also guards you from the dangers of this world.
Fixes and Tweaks
- Mouse Disappearing: The mouse would sometimes not register clicks until moved again. That has been fixed.
- Not losing clothes: Squashed a bug where player avatars would not lose their clothes when they should.
- Bank Clothes: There was a way for players to leave the Bank and still keep their work clothes.
- Wrong Building: Sometimes, in online play, the incorrect building was selected on round start.
- Stuck Buttons: Buttons could sometimes get stuck in the pressed state.
- Button Highlights: We made the highlighting of certain buttons (like Pay Rent) more pronounced.
- Trigger Buttons: You can now use trigger buttons on controllers to switch between Bank and Investments.
- Online Menus: Are now (finally!) animated and better support controllers.
- Small Tweaks: Bunch of smaller graphics tweaks to make the game shine even more.
Thanks and best regards from all of us here at the Porcelain HQ!
We finally had some time to go through our minor task list and hammer out some low hanging fruit fixes and features. This update is a collection of those labors.
View on Steam
Avatars
- New Avatars: Added two new Avatars!
- Work Clothes: Your Avatars now don work clothes when at their job.
- Sad Cloud: A cloud of sadness appears over your Avatar when they become sad.
Fixes and Tweaks
- Mouse: The mouse could hang about and highlight buttons and even when hidden. We fixed that annoying little bug.
- 1p Token Bounce: Characters would double bounce when swapping positions when someone had bought the 1st player token.
- Controller: The B (Xbox) ◯ (PS4) button no longer opens the main menu when on the map. Instead the Start button does that.
- Controller & Mouse Image: Updated the controller and mouse images in settings.
- Windowed Mode: If you started the game in Windowed mode the settings menu still said Fullscreen. Fixed that
- Item Icons Highlights: Bought items would not stay grayed out and highlights could get stuck in multiplayer. We fixed both of those issues.
- Character Selection: Highlighting behavior was annoying when selecting Avatars with a controller in local play mode. Fixed that.
- Added a single Zombie: A lone single Zombie will now roam the streets when Zombie crime wave is active. He might be joined by more in the future...
- Leave Loading Screen: We set a timer that allow you to leave a match if you get stuck on the Loading Screen.
- Lobby Dings: The game now plays a ding sfx when a player joins a lobby and when the match starts (in case you have the game hidden or are afk).
- Vomit: Player Avatars now vomit when entering plagued buildings.
- End Screen: We discovered a bug in the end screen where players could be assigned the wrong widget. This did not affect the actual score though!
- Minor bug fixes: Like always there were a few minor fixes and tweaks.
As promised, this is our first big feature update. We've gotten a lot of requests for more player interaction and this is our first feature set to introduce PvP with a bang.
When you choose Competitive Mode a new building, Hex 'R Us, will appear snugged between the University and the Culture building. There you can spend a little bit of health or happiness to curse the other players.
We have more features planned for the competitive mode later on. Until then please let us know what you think about this feature update and how you think it could be made better
