The design was really good, including the audio. It did take me many tries as is intended, and the actual job we got is pretty funny. The rejection emails saying 'excluding you' and 'job title' were very much how it feels to get one. Amazing work!
I'll let this cat out of its little bag: one or more of the rejection emails in the game WERE real. Just redacted humorously :)
Hellishly stylish, concise and funny. To me, the theme was presence was a bit weak. but still there.
Wow, that was fascinating! The fact that you portrayed the interview process as a circle of hell is such a fresh perspective on the struggles that the unemployed are facing right now. I especially loved the visuals, as it truly made you feel like you're in a whole other dimension. This was certainty quite the experience, great job!
As a person who is currently going through career search that brough flashbacks:) The blinking light on the text made my eyes uncomfortable, but the ui, visuals and the art are amazing, loved your work!
Glad to hear that we struck the right nerve, haha! Sorry about the visual discomfort, and thanks so much for playing :)
Yikes! Horribly relatable, which is horrifying in itself. Excellent visual and sound design, too.
Sooo cool. I felt the pain permeating the satire, and I hear you. Really well at that x) Great writing, great humor, and great art on top of that, which is simply unfair at this point. (I wanna pet that cat soooo bad)
Thanks so much!! :)
hell isn't hiring is a splendid experience in a bite-sized narrative-loop that actually makes sense. css wizardry, as well. bravo!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Nice funny writing and I like the work you put into the visual elements, being it the animated sprites and the UI. ^^
Had to do multiple playthroughs before I realized the joke LMFAO
Too true.
OMG this is it. The triggers... hahahahaha HELLp
Nothing compares to testing one's resilience than Hell itself. Correction. Job interviews in Hell do! 😈
Loved the writing and the comedy relayed through it, the art, and gameplay. Very-very cool! 🙌
Thanks so much for the kind words! :D
