Super cool I love what you did for audio. I couldnt full screen for some reason so I couldnt read the names for clients so I decided to mess around with the computer a bunch

Had fun being nosy in the messages lol. Cool concept and enjoyable story.
Very cool game! I think the effect on the screen should be able to be adjusted I had a hard time reading some of the text on screen because of the effect
OMG this is exactly a working simulation. Loved poking around the desktop instead of actually doing the data entry lol. The little apps are a great touch, and the messages give it way more story than I expected from a jam game. Art's lovely too. Reminds me the time doing online assessments to get a job.
Love the art and the narrative ! I PC interface based game and searching distraction during work is such a great idea. I liked the Password puzzle too
This was really cool! A countdown to the end of the workday was one of my discarded ideas, so I'm really glad I got to see someone else do that!
Loved poking around the different parts of the computer and finding out all the story.
I figured out the trick (or at least part of it), but still felt like it was going to be a long time until the end!
I gave up pretty fast, I'm not cut for an office job clearly. Enjoyed exploring all the desktop icons for a while though.
Love the art and music! Trying to find passwords but ends up listening to music for the rest of the shift lmao.
This is really cute! Really enjoyed playing around with the desktop and finding the password to the photo!
I suppose the goal is to wait until shift ends and listen for bad ass cat music
Omg everything's going downhill for us isn't it...
Such a creative way to tell a story, really knows how to capture my attention with the mail and text reading. I'm super curious now how the story progress hhhhh (And idk what exactly to feel about this David guy). Whoever's doing assets cooked so hard for a 4 days Jam. Love the tiny interactive app windows so much, especially the camera and paint app haha. Wish there were more to do on the desk once we zoom out tho. Maybe a bit of dialog or more story hints.
Really nice concept. The visuals (title screen, computer, desk) are amazing, huge props to whoever was making art. The narrative element is also surprisingly fleshed out for a game jam, with the messages and camera really making the story feel real and complete. While the gameplay isn't anything crazy, the various fun little windows are really charming, even if just a drawing program or notepad. In some ways, it kinda puts me in the shoes of the character a lot more, as the type of random stuff you do sometimes when bored from work. Great idea and execution!
really fascinating game, a great idea and executed well. loved reading through all of the messages and trying to piece things together.
