Very interesting game! Did you make the music yourself too? It's really nice. I like the whole idea of choosing the right people to hire. If you want suggestions, I think it would be better to be able to see the people you've hired and be able to manually lay them off. Also when I didn't have enough money I didn't know which people I've lost. Your game is definitely a lot of work for a week, so good job :)

Pretty cool game! :)

Took me several tries to get to the final boss, but it was really nice once I finally got there and won!

I'd definitely play a longer, deeper version of this! Nicely done!

Interesting idea and really a lot of story writing for one week! I really like the bell mechanic a lot but would consider to dump the necessity to click on the report afterwards - just go straight to the introduction of the next applicant instead. In terms of game design I would emphasize the impact of my decisions more clearly - right now it remains a bit unclear if the decision I've made were good or bad. Nevertheless a very enjoyable entry in my opinion - congratulations!

Management game is a very unique idea but it can be very easily unbalanced.

The idea of many professions coming to the player and choosing who to hire and who to fire is well made but I would change few things. Firstly, since day 3/4 I would make the queue random with some fixed characters. Secondly, the merchant tab should me moved to the summary screen at the end of the day. I found it after I failed like 3 times.

Really great idea for a game.

Unfortunately, the game crashed at some point and I could no longer continue playing =C

The idea is cool and unique as a mini management game, where you just need to focus the HR part of the town management. I'm a little confused about how things work as how to fire someone, who are actually doing what , eg who created what each turn. And I hope to get more information about each character to help me decide if I want to keep hiring him or fire him later. 

Any way I think this concept is very potential! Would love to see a more complete game of this!

BTW really like the bell haha.

Wow, what a jam entry!

There's a lot to like.  Controls are intuitive - "what's this bell for?"  Well, it's the only thing in front of you and you can't move, so... it doesn't take long to figure out that you should try it!  Things like the sell mechanic being added by just plopping a new item onto your table was very fluid.

I really enjoyed interviewing people.  There was more depth than usual to the consequences of my decisions vs. most game jam entries. E.g. you can just *not hire tutorial guy* and completely remove the advice mechanic from the rest of your playthrough.  Very ambitious design!

I found a few softlock states (if you don't hire anyone Day 1, you can't progress but don't lose) and a couple of "your best effort's not good enough" situations (if you roll a bad Knight you can lose the Day 2 battle despite hiring everyone beneficial to your performance in that fight).  I think these sorts of things are to be expected.

Overall the only place I slammed this entry is on theme; technically the writing fits (the king is dead, long live the king) but you don't engage with it in any way during the gameplay.

Thanks for the game!

Was a bit much to wrap my head around at first, but once I got the hang of it was a really good time! Adding a tutorial of sorts could be useful by having a couple key characters show up that you have to buy, and then gradually give the player more freedom to hire and fire who they choose as it goes on. Really great work though!

rlly good

I got a consistent bug where I couldn't interact with the second NPC (and thus couldn't progress) in the webgl build. I do really like the concept of this game. The music fit very well, but I found a lot of the text hard to read. Having the medieval text for just headings instead of the entire resume would help a lot. I also tried the mac build but couldn't get it to open, even with the terminal trick. If you end up updating the game, I'd love to give it another try :) 

Really like it. It could be a nice addition to have a detailed finance report.

That was a cool idea having the player decide who to hire based on resumes and such. The randomizing of stats was a bit of a troll thing sometimes (first and third playthrough the first knight was a beast, but the second he was made of wet tissue paper, and my third playthrough I fought a poison bomb with like 50 atk that wiped me in no time flat). But balance consistency aside, this was fun enough for me to keep trying, and I really liked the model for the dragon. Feel free to check out my game too!
