Rue Valley, the Disco-like RPG from indie developer Emotion Spark Studio, recently gained traction after being praised by the lead creatives of Disco Elysium itself. The indie developer's contribution to this year's April Fool's is a small card game about planning your day and getting ridiculous outcomes.


Awkward Valley is a totally normal, definitely-not-a-time-loop daily planner sim! Each morning, drag activities from your trusty notebook into your schedule and hit "Start" to watch your perfectly (or terribly) planned day unfold. Will you be productive, exhausted, or just spiral into existential dread?

Featuring a micro deck-building mechanic, every choice shapes your routine. Convert fatigue into gains at the gym, fuel your soul (or just your stomach) with vending machine snacks, or attend therapy to process your life choices. As you progress, unlock new activities, modifiers, and Rue Valley-inspired oddities—because nothing here is ever truly normal.

With illustrations by Awkward Yeti and a healthy dose of absurdity, Awkward Valley! is your chance to micromanage a surreal life - one scheduled breakdown at a time!

While Awkward Valley is a cheeky April Fool’s, it is an actual game that you can download and play for free via Steam. It was developed in collaboration with comic and illustration artist The Awkward Yeti.
