Interesting premise and it was pretty intuitive.

Interesting concept, it's nice that there's a lot of flexibility to answer the questions.

Very funny game! I did not manage to pass the second stage interview since I do not know Go, Rust or C#. :hole:

@xotraz Thanks for playing!

There's an option in settings to disable technical interviews :wink:

"Do you enjoy writing documentation?" "For extra pay" Realest developer interaction ever lol. Fun premise, I did not do so well in my interviews because I was enjoying the funny answers.

the option for technical feature is a nice touch, cool concept, works fine, didn't find any bugs, overall good game, well done !

This game needs a trigger warning 😭. Very cool concept, though. I think it would have been easier to select the choices with mouse rather than number keys, and some more immediate feedback would have been nice for figuring out how the game evaluates answers. Then again, the real life interview process is opaque and unintuitive, so it's kind of realistic lol.

Very cool concept, I think the game was quite intuitiv

Fun concept! The system with different response options is really well developed. My favorite is 'For extra pay' 😅

I'll write a comment for an extra pay :)

Great concept, well done!

Job Search PTSD 2026: The Game! Woof. Hilarious and brutal at the same time. Great idea. Well executed and fun to run around an experience the panic in a new way. Congrats on finishing!

Ha! This one gave me a good laugh. I liked giving inappropriate answers more than giving correct ones which probably didn't help my cause, but I think I did okay. Simple idea, but lots of fun running around trying to find the right answers. Good stuff :8ball:

It is a fun little game. The idea is cool. Good job!

"While" "complex128", "yeah" "a few hours". "select" "i'll think about it"

just kept picking the funny wrong answers and somehow got hired anyway guess the dev knows how interviews really work

As someone who works in IT I don't understand why "5 years" was not an acceptable answer for "how fast I can fix a critical bug". Pretty funny game, had some good laughs.
