Jenkins Gets a Job went through a lot of reworking since the game started development in 2023. Though most of the unused maps have been wiped from the final release, there are still some hidden hidey-holes left in the game's files.

This needs some investigation. |
Unused Maps#
blank#
blank is an empty map, true to its name. This is the map that is loaded in the editor if the map you search for is not found in the "maps" folder.
intro_room#
intro_room was an early draft of the game's opening (after the HR interview) before being replaced by long_hall in the final. After the HR interview, the player would start at the elevator, walk down a long hall, and put their resume in a "HIRE" pile while putting their rival's applicant in a recycling bin. According to Hobson, this was scrapped because the task was too complicated.1
The game crashes immediately upon entering this room due the variable "j_resume" being missing from the progress Dictionary in Globals.gd; readding "j_resume" to said Dictionary resolves this problem.
Unused Ares in Used Maps#
office_outside#
On the opposite side of the road, outside of camera bounds is a small cul-de-sac with only one house and a car not seen elsewhere.
