But on a more serious note, I do believe it is an interesting exploration into the perils of bureaucracy. I didn't care about doing the sensible thing, which is to shelf books based on what they were (ex: all copies of Dune in the same place), just to use the T/M/B row B/Y/R color system. Similarly, I was constantly rewarded for simply shredding perfectly good books, rather than placing them next to shelves until more become available, or shelving them in the wrong places.

It is systems, not people, that push towards absurdity.

@mindhijacker, we did try to interpret the theme a little bit less physical. I don't know how much we managed, but we wanted to make a game about having very limited space to express yourself in a conversation, the way it happens at some hangouts with ppl that are very eager to hear their own voices.

We did pick up the game suffers a bit from lack of clarity about what the player is supposed to do. Our intention was to give them a realistic choice: to just sit there and listen, intervene with their own opinions, or try to play the popularity game (avoid interrupting people and focus on saying what others would like to hear, indicated by their thought bubbles). Kinda like in real life :))
