What it is

Choose how much space Bob takes, help when you want a small interaction, and let the local collection grow at your pace.

Use the complete Full Desk, an always-on-top Mini Companion, or a movable Pet Desk.

Start with 78 local illustrated rewards, then browse filed work in the Comic Shelf.

Listen to seven bundled tracks while Bob works.

The game is positioned around new free editions added over time as the approved Outside In Print collection grows.

Core companion play, rewards, music, and saves use installed local files. Optional essay and Steam links leave the game.
