Use of the limitation
There is no end: work on a dystopian factory, producing parts of machines has no end. This is a metaphor of an endless corporate job : no sence, no growth, no desire for a better life... For this reason we've chosen such a depressive setting: it depicts the miserability of a single human being.

It’s really good, I love the idea and the graphics are very good :D
thank you!! Did our best
Love the atmosphere and general vibe, and I'm a sucker for both assembly type tasks and "work a shift" type games. I think this could really use a quota you must meet or you face "disciplinary action" or something, as well as more nuanced production steps that take different amounts of time, so that you can start your next item while one is cooking. Overall, great work on this!

thanks man
This game worked me like a dang Dawg… AND I LOVED IT! I loved the manual labor part and trying to achieve the perfect run.. i kept having a particular error where the green would shoot out and keep respawning back in the shoot to flying back out again over and over again, having to catch it mid air to stop the loop.
This was really atmospheric and was just a perfect game for there is no end. It felt really polished. This is one of my favourites Good job!
I'm so happy to read this, mate
Wow bro, this is wild stuff!! I love the commentary.. gave me this Stanley Parable vibes :)
Will definitely push atmosphere further. Thank you for kind words^^
An astounding game all around! The visuals and sound design create a phenomenal dystopian atmosphere. The repetitive gameplay further sells this narrative while still remaining an incredibly fun and satisfying loop! I really enjoy that instead of a boring deposit system where you put the finished product down casually you instead have to throw it into a designated tube, it's the small details this game really shines at!
Truly amazing work.
Thank you! Thank you so much!!^^
I really enjoyed the atmosphere, the graphics, and the sound design. The concept is simple but engaging, really great work, very well polished!

I'm a big fan. Love the Art style, the idea, this is incredible for three days. Keep the good work man <3

Thank you! What did you like most?
the whole psx aesthetic and the idea of being a factory worker forced to work endlessly
As one of the developers of this game I highly reccomend trying this out.
