10/10 audio. Maybe I'm just way too hopped up on sugar or something, or maybe the tension building is just that good, but the first time I failed I thought someone was gonna come in the room and shoot me; I kept looking at the door lol. Joe reminds me of my dad.

Developer

Love this comment. The vibe was 100% supposed to be that, there was never anything bad going to happen but the setting is cold and forboding on purpose to make you feel like something is wrong

Very polished game with simple mechanic but layers of distrubers cause that simple task becomes a complex one :D

I also love the atmosphere of being watched all the time and something weird will happen.

Developer

I worked really hard on trying to make it progressively introduce the harder mechanics and not overwhelm the player straight away

Submitted

And you nailed it! Good job, what are your plans? Further development or new project?

Developer

I never develop jam games after the jam 😂 I'm sure there is more game there but I'm no marketing expert and don't have the effort for 'selling myself'

Jams are a hobby of mine and that's fine with me 😊

Thank you!

I like how joe is full of personality very well voice acted, and the game is so simple but so fun and polished. This game is one of the best i played so far good job.

Developer

Omg yay! Thank you!! Joe was pure and real awkwardly trying to come up with what to say on the spot 😅

I like the eerie vibe. The voice over is nice, it sounds natural. I repeatedly failed on 1-1 and 3-1 (mostly because I have bad sense of rhythm. I've read the description beforehand so I waited it out to try again ). But I still enjoyed playing!

Thank you so much for waiting it out on those bugs, really sorry I didnt find them until after submission 😅

This was my favorite submission so far. This is so cool!! It reminded me of The Stanley Parable.

Developer

Yes! Thats the idea! I'm so glad you got it 🥰

Good Concept, Good to see real voice-over. The tension building is nice
Also, how much pay am I getting for a full day of work

Developer

You get a firm handshake and a crisp highfive

Submitted

LOL, do try my game as well. Any feedback is appreciated

Other than the known bugs, the game is fun. 

Developer

Just what I like to hear

I was doing so well till level 6. Disco party was a highlight. 
Love the voice acting and humour. Top notch stuff, well done.

Developer

Thank you so much!!

Submitted

got stuck as soon as i failed (which was very soon^^)

but really cool setting :)

Developer

There is a known bug (please read the description)

I made it to the end!! 😍

I love the supervisor, what a wholesome and supportive man

Submitted

I failed at 3-1 (the timer wasn't shown, so i clicked after 10 seconds which is what all the other levels had, but apparently that was too early idk), but the voice was cool and i liked the crt effect

Developer

Please read the game description... there is a known bug.

Again, for everyone's games, please please please read the descriptions. All of these games were made in like 3 days. To go into them thinking they will be perfect is very arrogant.

Rant over, thank you for playing

Developer(+1)

I have re read this and I get what you mean. For that mission you gotta look at the monitor. It reveals the time after a few seconds (it pops in saying '5, 4' and the disappears again

Sorry about the rant ahahaha

Failed at the first task, nothing happened after, so i was stuck.

But writhing and voiceover was so good, i tried again.

And o boy, was in for a treat. Failed at 3-3 and i'm happy i did.

Plus i can't realy remember, when was a last time, another game made me do somethin outside of a computer, like tapping a rythm.

Nice job. ingame sceen resolution might've been better tho))

Developer

ah man! if you get past 3-4 you get to the disco party section (not a joke) ahahaha

that means so much thank you!!
