Fits the theme perfectly and really captures that stressful, hectic feeling.
I barely read anything, though—I just dragged every document over to see which one fits hhh

How does your game fit the theme?
The game is built entirely around a countdown — you have until 6 PM to clear your inbox and get off work on time. Every decision is driven by the ticking clock: the closer it gets to zero, the more chaotic the emails and pop-ups become. "Count Down" isn't just the mechanic, it's the pressure that defines every second of play.

The gameplay fits the theme perfectly; it’s fast-paced, and the passing of time creates a real sense of tension! The art style is harmonious, and the overall package feels very polished and complete.
Very interesting game, and well-designed. Art style is spot-on. I agree that the file icons could be more descriptive since I couldn't quite be sure about what exactly does each file represent. And sometimes it seems like you can attach multiple files but the email will be sent regardless, even with one. In any case, a fantastic idea and I really liked it, keep it going!
I love how realistic this game is reflecting the average day of an office worker. The timer at the top REALLY had me stressing on the later levels, However I really wished the indicators of which file was what was a bit more clearer, regardless a very fun and enjoyable short game, WELL DONE!
Really fun game! I think if there was an indication of what the files are it would be awesome!

That was a very interesting experience. I enjoyed it, and it's definitely a good take on the theme!!
The only thing is that I felt encouraged to just keep trying to send random files until one worked instead of reading what files they explicitly need.
That said, I felt the rush, and I enjoyed the music a lot!
