About
Sydney Claywood wakes in his alley one day to discover a new policy set in place by a joint venture between the political parties, churches and big businesses to rid the streets of homelessness and unemployment. There solution is a 'final solution,' of sorts.
Sydney decides that the only way to save himself and his friends is to go directly to the heart of the plan, the CBD, and argue his case. However, in the back of Syd's mind is the constant idea that ˜Maybe I could, you know, just find a REAL job.
There is some suggestive and slightly rude content here. I'd only really recommend it for mature audiences.

Very funny, and fun to play, Sydney the Game, like Sydney the Character, is a little rough around the edges but lovable.
Pick of the Month
April 2007
Another game that was nominated in a few categories, but just missed out in them all was Sydney Finds Employment. The Independent Gaming blog listed it as "narrowly missed it" on its top 20 adventures list, so it seems that its always a bridesmaid, never a bride! But Pick of The Month will be its dashing suitor this…

I thought this was a good and funny game. I look forward to playing the sequel.
Great game so far, but I think I found a glitch. Not sure if it is since I can't seem to play any further.
I created the "pet" while in the pet store with the 3 items and the clerk disappeared. Don't know if she's supposed to be there talking through the door, or if her sprite is now for some reason not visible. Oh well.
It could be better, not funny
Had a lot of fun playing this! I look forward to the sequel.
Most of the puzzles were very logical. However, I was stumped early on because I kept overlooking some "minor" detail. Anyone who hasn't played the game yet, I'll just say this, make sure to look EVERYWHERE in the rooms when you're stumped. Just do like I did and pixel hunt for them :)
