I got overwhelmed by the amount of emails

Love getting hacked though, the cursor going haywire is a nice touch

The art is superb, and I really like the SFX with this game. This game definitely gave me the "Check your email" anxiety lol.
My two biggest thing was that the instructions were more in the description than in the game so when I was in the game, I felt like I jumped in too fast. The second is that I couldn't really tell when I was doing something right at first, and afterwards didn't feel rewarded for successfully navigating an email.

The art and the interface look amazing. I did not manage to count down and my inbox ended up at 50 emails. I would welcome some job description and maybe some email chains where you can answer correctly to reduce the number of future emails. The CRT effect is cool!

Ya... we thought of that too, put the team decide the amount of content needed and the system to make it work in the first place would take too long to develop.

Thanks for playing!

This is too real man
Love the art and environment, feels very cluttered but home-y at the same time, just like a real office job

This game reaffirmed to me that I am borderline illiterate.
