This feels like an anxiety attack, very real!
I've had similar nightmares, with the rubberbanding-esque mechanics with people chasing me, 10/10 tapping into the deepest darkest fear of humanity: recruiters!
Yeees! Recruiters as humanity's deepest fear might be the most accurate interpretation of the game so far. I'm glad the anxiety simulator is working as intended. :D
That is a great implementation of the theme. I would love to play the final version of the game. great job on the game mechanics as well, they seem somewhat unique. There wasn't much gameplay right now but you have a great plan ahead for further development. Great job on the submission and good luck on the final version of the game.
Thank you! It’s a representation of my mindset whenever I’m at a career fair and also very unemployed... I’m really glad the concept resonated with you, and I definitely have lots more planned for the full version! :D
great concept for the Game Jam theme.
The dialogues are funny and well written. Sometimes they vanished too quickly. I mean it takes some time to find the meaning in those word salads.
I'm glad you enjoyed the dialogue. And that's a really good point, some of the conversations definitely move too fast right now. I'll be tweaking the dialogue timing in future updates. Thanks for the feedback! :D
Cool spin on the theme and a great little game. Sound design is very well done. Good job!
I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for playing! :D
Awesome game! I love the accuracy of the endings and the interactions to real life corporate networking lol. Pretty fun to interact and discover each people's strategy of hiring people and just a charming experience overall. Great work!
Thank you! I'm really happy you reached some of the endings and felt a bit of the realism behind it. Glad you had fun exploring all the different recruiters and their strategies! :D
This is a very charming game. The writing is really good, I like how it makes fun of career fairs. Good job!
Thank you! I'm glad you like it :D
Loved it! Sound design on this one was very impressive, also the connections actually physically holding me back was unexpected and I had a geniune laugh when it first happened. Dialogues were also funny, I had a lot of fun playing this, thanks!
I'm so glad you liked it! :D I'll definitely keep working on it and expanding the idea. Thanks for playing and for the kind words!
My connections are holding me back. I need to break those and make new connections :D Adorable game. and the LinkedIn reference so in point. Very enjoyable. my only suggestion would be for the dialogues to not auto-skip (some of them) or stay on longer. It was too fast to read for me that English is not my native language. Other than this everything looked awesome. You did great job.
Ahh, thank you for the feedback, that’s really good advice! I’ll definitely make the dialogue stay on screen longer and add better controls for reading, or maybe a speed adjustment option in the settings. I’m really glad you enjoyed the game! :D
Yeah this game really made me just want to turn around and hide ;D. The heart beat really did make you feel anxious about being there and trying to get to the end, unfortunately I could not and kept getting roped in
Thank you! Sorry you kept getting roped in by recruiters, but I guess that means the career fair was working as intended ;D
Omfg this was amazing, one of my favs of the whole jam!! You really just nailed the whole feeling of this lol. Loved the heartbeat and getting pulled away and the dialogue was very funny. Great work!
Thank you so much!!! That’s honestly one of the nicest compliments I could get! Your game is also absolutely PEAK, the aesthetics and atmosphere really got me and I hope to see more of it in the future :D
I laughed throughout the entire game! Great job!
Thank you! Btw I really like your blind deduction game! :D
This game made me so anxious, great use of theme and that heartbeat. Dialogue is soooo true!
Glad the dialogue and atmosphere landed :D Thank you!
Interesting idea, I hate it :D
Which in your case means it reminded me of all the wrong things and your game succeeded :)
Yeah, honestly that’s the best outcome I could hope for lolll. Thank you!
Nice business speak, lol. Sounds like this was something that came from self experience. Great original Idea. Congrats.
Thank you! Your platformer game looks really cool too by the way! :D
I liked the dialogue but was confused as to what I was supposed to be doing. After getting a few connections it became hard to move until they started breaking
Hahaha thank you for the feedback! Currently you can actually spam SPACE really hard to escape, and you’re also supposed to be mindful of the tension pulling from different directions, so the struggle is kind of part of the gameplay haha.
But yeah, I totally agree that the progression and objectives need to be clearer. I’ll definitely improve that in future updates. Thanks again for trying it out! I'll check your game too!
Okay, this one speaks from experience? Nice concept, I'm curious to see more of it :)
Thank you! Yeah, it’s unfortunately inspired by some real experiences. Definitely planning to expand it more after the jam!
Interesting concept.
Thanks! Yours too!
I like the dialogs and the idea of the game itself. I do look forward to see cool and new updates. And... oh whats that? Maybe steal some trophies :3
You got me :D yes yes, stealing trophies from booths will absolutely become part of the gameplay later on (wink wink)
Amazing game! I'm a slow reader so I missed a lot of the jokes, but my partner who was looking over my shoulder laughed quite a bit. Really funny and I did make it to the end of the hallway.
Thank you so much! Hearing someone laugh at the dialogue is the best feedback I could get :D
Quite interesting concept! I chuckled a little in some dialogue, so relatable. Great entry!
Thank you! Glad you liked the concept :D
