NICE TO MEET YOU

The concept is very fun, I liked the design of the soviet office. The game seems quite challenging, I had some problems with getting fired even when I managed to complete both starting tasks successfully. But perhaps that is just the opposite of job stability :)

PS. I found the executable name very relatable.

I really like this game, really hard not to get fired immediately, but i quite like doing the menial for a unstable boss in an unstable reactor in an unstable state, very good on the theme, the motion blur made me feel a little sick but im very sensitive to that stuff

FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY SOME SOVIET COMARADE SPEAKING TO ME

Interesting little game. After I did the first two tasks, tasks stopped telling me what to do and I couldn't really figure it out. I liked the environment and voice lines though!

Hey,

Great graphics and voice over. I feel like the game should ease me into what to do a bit better. My sensitivity was crazy as well. I was just thumbling in blindness but ended up trying the different tasks, it seems very impossible to win the game though. Which is a shame. I love the voice over, and generally the graphics are really impressive.

lol good funny game

Fun concept, pretty funny too. I would go easy on the post processing effects though

More tutorials '-' more visual cue about what should the player do and not relying on audio tutorials. Graphic looks great but motion blur can be nauseating to some players. Perhaps add an option to disable motion blur.Thanks for the game!

I really like the art style, voice over, and general mood of the game. I had a lot of trouble completing the missions though, either I would run out of time or I would do it right and still get fired. I can tell there is a lot more to the game, but I sadly couldn't get past the first mission :( . Good job on the look of the game though, it really has a unique and cool vibe to it!

@chairshot-games @dev-dennis @sotaroni Hi Guys! Thank you for the comments! Yeah, we had an issue where in the final hour of development, the task system just stopped working out of thin air, and we couldn't fix it in time.

Comrades, am sad to report dat my stomach iz not stronk enough for dis job. Or possibly am too drunk for it. Here, have some vodka with me!

The postprocessing stack you've used, especially motion blur, really was a bit too much for me. I generally don't have any problems with kinethosis, but after few minutes of running around I started to feel like in a badly optimized VR game...

Cool concept, however I probably either broke it with wine or it's buggy in windows as well. Very slippery controls, props such as tables flying everywhere on smallest collision, so on. After like 10 tries gave up.

Nice aesthetics tho.

Hi! The macOS image is broken :(

Pretty much the same feedback as other people here. Fun concept and the looks and sounds really fit the whole idea, but I found it impossible to play - movement was super slippery, aiming anything was hard and the time limits way too strict. If the controls were more polished and the time limit wasn't as harsh, I really do believe this could be a really fun little game, but as it is I couldn't really play it long enough to give it a proper chance. Completing menial and increasingly insane tasks around a Soviet nuclear plant (hell, even a basic American open plan office would work :sweat_smile:) could be a really fun little game!

I HATE THIS GAME
