How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
We are using "carrots" as metaphors for "fishing" for talent. And we are using the HR software replacing humans with AI as the evils of "capitalism" in play in the world.
What tools and 3rd party assets did you use?
Credited inside the game. Kenney.nl and FreeMusicArchive.
How did you use generative AI? (If you did)
Code, graphics and and some sound effects/music were done using AI.
Idea and mechanics and creative direction is my own.

This has been the most shocking game i've played this Jam. I had to play it a few times to better understand what was happening but super unique concept! Great job! Also i loved the way you transitioned screens!
Thank you for playing!
Was going for a more shock value, maybe add a few jump-scares here and there, but decided against it for obvious reasons :P
As for feedback, why did you feel you had to play it a few times to get the idea? Was it too confusing? Too abstract? Feel free to let me know transparently
I definitely got the gist from the first playthrough but wanted to make sure I got everything and also wanted to see if I could change the outcomes but I wouldn’t say having to play it a few times is a bad thing! One of my favorite games of all time is Nier Automata and that has the same idea. You don’t get the whole story with just one playthrough. So I bet you could build on the abstractness and make an amazing product!
i LOVE Nier Automata
That's a great idea! Thanks for this!
Interesting spin on the theme, I enjoyed it although I was a bit confused throughout some of the game loops. Good luck and if you have time, please try our game :)
Thank you for playing!
What parts were confusing? I'm looking for feedback
As for your game, I already reviewed it and added a comment ;)
The part with the reject/accept buttons, I replayed it and still confused me, but everything moves a bit fast although I got the concept it's not obvious immediately that you can't win (great meta though)
Yeah I figured the speed could be an issue :(
I like how the theme was incorporated, and the game has a pretty cool style. Check out our game too!
Thank you!
Reviewed your game already :)
Its an interesting experience, I know thats the idea and its not technically a game, so yeah overall I did enjoy it.
I think the relevance of the carrot is a bit tenuous, But the art is nice and its well put together.
My game is also about AI corpos so feel free to check it out.
Thank you for the feedback!
Totally agree about it not being a game, but more of an experience
Yeah I can see why the carrot thing could be an issue.
Btw, reviewed your game already :)
this had an important message against ai in companys
i agree with this game they fire the devs to replace them with ai because "they are cheaper and faster" but aren't
and when they realise they messed up it's too late, when they want to hire new devs then who want to be part of a company that doesn't care about them (fire somebody to replace it with ai just imagine his life he doesn't have a job now and maybe some months later he will find a new job while he is starving)
ai just stoles from the internet to make the good ai "art" and then ai artist yap about how hard it is(it's really hard to say draw me black cat?)
btw i liked the transiton
thank you so much for playing!
It was pretty much the idea!
What a creative way to implement the theme, I really like it. I just don't know if I even have a chance to win against the bot. Very well made and with a sense of humor
Thank you so much!
And correct: you cannot win against the bot ;)
I enjoyed this quite a bit! I've been playing a lot of games in this game jam and this one was definitely the most playable. For theming, maybe baiting bunnies would've been more cool. Still super fun, Hahaha getting replaced by bots was fun. Overall pretty great game.
I also made a submission, please feel free to take a look at it and share feedback if you have time:

Thanks for playing!
Yeah, the idea started out with fishing for bunnies, but then I made it into a simple fishing simulator.
I'll definitely check out your entry
Was confused at times cuz of me smol brain! But from what I understood, it was fun! :D I wish I could have gotten farther, but I was too confused about what to do. Not ur fault, btw.
Thanks for playing!
Where did you get stuck? Maybe I can help?
I don't know what to do after the first little fishing segment. I'm put against this robot, and then and I have no idea what to do! I'm just clicking Capture the fish, hoping it does something. And then a screen pops up saying I was terminated. And then I get put on the screen, saying 1 human was removed. I hope I'm not sounding like an idiot rn.
Thank for the feedback! Appreciate it!
And haha, no, you are absolutely NOT sounding silly at all :) In fact, I really appreciate the transparent feedback.
The player NOT being able to beat the robot was the point of the game.
That no matter how hard you try, if the company decides to automate your role, it will do so.
So you could click as fast as you can, and even get a HIGHER score than the robot, but you will STILL be terminated.
Ohh... Ty for explaining! That's a cool premise for ur game.
I really liked the visual, very interesting style, but I didn't really understand how to win, but I understood the idea. check our game please!
Thanks for the review!
As for the winning: one can never win against corporate transformation :P ;)
this was cool
Thank you so much!
