The writing in this game is top-notch, and is an amazing use of the theme. It was hilarious (even if depressing and somewhat relatable), especially since I kept some people in there until about 8am the next day. The gameplay is also pretty unique! I'm glad there was a tutorial, but (imagining this game as a full release) it would be nice to at least start in a smaller office so that there's less going on once it starts getting going. Things felt super hectic and I had a hard time keeping track of it all, but if it built up to that a bit I think it would be a fun, controlled chaos. Great work!

Nicely done! It takes a bit of thinking to set things up right, but the gameplay is simple enough to get while also fairly engaging. I also quite liked the typing you have to do for the intro, lol!

Wow, such a creative idea an fun game. I love the narrative, and the tutorial was spot on!

I eventually found it a bit hard, couldn't get the hang to get me feeling like I was making the right decisions. But I defenitely would look forward for a full release of it
My favourite so far! Congrats!!

The UI made it so intuitive to start playing. Got a bit chaotic, but I made a maze that worked pretty well haha

I like mashing my keyboard at the start lol. Love seeing my worker walking around the walls I placed. It would be nice if the indicators to place and remove the walls are made more obvious. Overall, a great game!

Challenging and chaotic, but fun! I felt a little bad for the poor office workers, but efficiency must be achieved.

The intro text was a little bit intimidating, but manageable. An indicator for the worker with the latest time  or the special workers might be a little helpful in all the chaos of the office day.

I liked the little "wawawawa" sound effects for the workers conversing, and mashing on the keyboard to progress past the intro email was a fun touch!

Cool idea and style, It was a bit chaotic but very fun. I would make the popups more vibrant noticeable and maybe add a small sound.

I love the humour, but did not enjoy being the boss or trying to manipulate the employees.  I would prefer to reverse the game and try to steal as much productivity from the company as possible.

man, as someone who's worked in an office most of my adult life, I felt terrible inside playing this... HOWEVER... as a game player I really enjoyed it, found it cute and fun, and think there's really something here.

I enjoyed trapping the workers in their office prison. Even the cleaner wasn't safe. Great game :D

This was an excellent idea--I got so invested in keeping the workers away from each other. The 'awawawa' of talking was so perfectly irritating (especially when I realized it was that one guy who was three hours behind everyone else--NO! haha) The cleaner & specialist were great little twists. Super clever! Loved it!

I got stuck on the tutorial where I was told to place walls to make my two employees go to the printer on the left and was unable to progress the text box. Still, cool concept for a game!

Truly interesting concept! Though when I place vertical cubicle walls, I start to lost track of them as they do not show the blue shade. Anyway I do enjoy looking at the workers walking around.

Unique concept! It reminds me of the TV show Severance. The only difference is that we're drawing walls in the office, not in the employees' minds.

Cool concept and very ambitious - reminded me of a lot of flash games from about 15~ years ago. Great job conceptually but at points feels like it could be more involved, maybe more events? I get that it was obviously a time limitation though.
