Downtime is a game where you play as a high school student looking to avoid your Zoom class by watching cat videos! The player has to watch the video in order to gain points (measured in minutes), but also has to pay attention to when the teacher asks them a question. If they fail to respond twice, it’s game over! The player can also respond to their good peer, which will help them gain 200 minutes! However, the player has to watch out and make sure they don’t respond to the two bad peers, or else they will lose 200 minutes!
