I like the premise, you are challenged to complete the tasks, tho they might be a bit too much for the time. Or it is because i only used the mousepad

I like the interpretation for the theme. It nice that it has a lot of escalation for each level :D

Do some work every ten seconds is an interesting idea. Maybe it could be simulation game

Office work sure is stressful. I like the Papers Please-esque presentation. I got to Day 3, but couldn't beat it.

A few minor things-- It was a bit frustrating starting over from Day 1 every time I failed. Also, it would have been nice to know if I failed because I messed up, or because time ran out. And I wanted the tasks to advance once I completed them, especially when I had to keep repeating Day 1 every time I failed; it got a bit annoying waiting for the timer to run out.

Also, that boss is full of himself. Nice work!

@zeichn @nullval @mantou Thank you for the review <3

@gibberingtaylor Yes you're right paper please was one of our inspiration. I think you almost finished the game because there are only 3 days. Thank you for the review :)

neat game, I wish there were checkpoints though, I lost in the 3rd day and I had to play all over again

It was very difficult to reach day 4

I think the player should use the keyboard to enter the password. It's a bit more realistic that way

Anyway, it's a fun game.

I really liked the audio, I really felt in the office and I could sense the tension. Your graphs were on the point too. Your game logic was releted to theme so that was nice. Only thing is starting all over from day1 each time we fail can be a little annoying. But other than that great game, good job :)

Good office-sim, "mundane stress" vibes.. I got a Papers Please feeling from this one! Restarting from Day 1 on a failure was a bit of a grind but it's a short jam game so eh. Well done!

What a boss! This is really hard game you made! But I like it. No problems and bugs, sound is wonderful, like I'm at the real office. Good work!

Seems like a dream job!

It's a perfect simulation of an office desk job :laughing: I really liked the sfx (especially the office ambience).

The game gets very difficult fast. Allowing the player to use the Enter to push the A button and/or use numpad to type in codes would make for smoother gameplay, I think.

Love the SFX, difficulty could build up a little slower tho

fizzbark 2022-10-10 08:11

The art and audio are impressively dystopian. I thought the game wasn't working at first; took me a minute to realise you were meant to click on the speech bubble. Good work making the boss so aggravating - I was hoping for a boss fight!

epeachyband 2022-10-12 18:41

Very interesting idea. I like the artstyle and its simplicity

sethios 2022-10-12 19:39

I didn't survive 3 days on the job, I guess I'm terrible at manipulating sliders, buttons and key codes lol

Jokes aside, the game was very interesting, and multitasking was fun! I also really liked the art, it sets up a pretty dystopian mood. Only issue I have with the game is that I wish there were checkpoints because starting all over can be a bit frustrating

What a pity there is no web version:(

robin49 2022-10-20 17:33

@bathpirate Yes, we were planned to do a web version but it doesn't work properly :/

hacktier 2022-10-20 21:15

Cool game. The game looks good and plays well. Nice work.

snowdrama 2022-10-21 15:55

Nice! Good stuff, the game gets really hard really fast haha, once it added in punching in the code it was really challenging!
