Great execution of the theme. And great atmosphere too. Solid all-around!

Glad to see another office themed game. We went totally different directions though, so it's cool to see a different take. Aside from some collision bugs (got stuck by the ticket counter), everything seemed pretty polished. Well done!

Really good idea, I love it! Can be a good start to make a good game like 1984 or anything like that!

Very surreal experience, I thought I was going to be trapped forever and was playing it wrong somehow.

I was stamping papers and was like: Can I go home? Nicely done, it made me feel the story! The artwork adds to the feeling. I liked the dialogue with the other characters also!

Submitted

Very nice aesthetic and atmosphere. I found a bug where you can stamp already stamped papers multiple times to increase your compliance level.

nice game! i love the art style, a little buggy and stamping the papers were kinda tedious after a bit :D but i loved it! good game!!

Developer(+1)

We kind of intended it to be tedious, a bit of a commentary on the whole office culture and the entirely tedious and boring life of the character in the game. Glad you enjoyed it! Wish we had a bit more time to polish it.

Wow ! Playing this at the office made me want to get up and leave. Amazing work, love the non-compliance route with all the narration through the objectives and the glitch. Great work of art and narration, well done !

Thanks so much, glad you had that experience, it was kind of intentional, lol. Love that you enjoyed it, thanks!

Great game! I like how the dialogues and the narratives make the game make suspensful. The sounds also matched with the game well

Amazing game , one of my favorites of the jam so far, some of the collisions were a little off was just wondering if tht was intentional or not

Developer

Thanks so much, means  a lot! The collisions we're due to a lack of time unfortunately!

Well that was quite a trip! Loved the artwork and general idea of the game, reminded me of Groundhog day, with that "just a bit off" vibe all along. 

Developer

Thanks for the review, glad you liked it. :)

I only played through the good ending, I don't know if I could handle the bad one, great storytelling!🍞

Developer

Thank you a ton for playing!

fun game, really like the artstyle. though some collisions i feel like are set up weirdly, also you can spam each paper to boost your compliance index to ridiculous amounts, overall good job.

Developer

Thank you for playing, glad you liked it! It definitely could've used some more polish, we ran out of time unfortunately.
