Really cool but after playing for a second time every time i block a user it keeps telling me i blocked everyone (which i didnt) so that's that.
Thanks for playing and thanks for letting me know!
Awesome job, the aesthetic was so realistic and i got scammed :(
the screen you get after blocking everyone got a good laugh out of me, was this all made in html? it looks nice
Thanks! It was made in Twine so it's built using a combination of Harlowe and CSS.
Really nice game ! It's really well made ! I like the fact that there is multiple ways the game could end !
I failed; however, it's nice to see a writing tool based game used in any game jam. This is especially a good start for narrative designers. However, the choices that I'm being given after clicking a name don't really give me any indication of what I should really do besides just clicking the blue links as I always seem to fail no matter what.
Hey, thanks for taking the time to play and comment. Really appreciate it. As the game is made in Twine, and I'm relatively new to it, there isn't much more to it than clicking the blue links. There are multiple outcomes (4) that you can come across but the player decides how they engage / don't engage with the recruiters.
Too real! Great job.
It was fun seeing all the different endings I could find in this game. The writing felt believable. Nice work.
Ive never seen a jam game presented that way, really unique!
Good fun and a cool take on the theme! I liked the writing a lot
Interesting job hunting simulation. Definitely brings back memories.
The visuals of the game were interesting and I got surprised when the game started up! I wish there were audio cues and the visualization of the email progression were more pleasing. Overall, good game!
this is a neat game! I liked it a lot
could you rate mine please?
This game gave me flashbacks to job hunting last year, a really good and realistic approach to the jam, I really like this game!
