The feel of the game and the mechanics are great. I will say, I generally play games to escape paper pushing and avoid reading. I needed the civil servant test and Adderall to handle the "action." And... great work!
Voice acting in a game jam is just awesome to see (hear, i mean). Love the humor in the narrative.
The overall feel of the game seems very polished. Even the in-game tutorial was very well done. Controls were smooth, and minor touches like the tracking spotlight for focused items help.
I liked that you can skip the text flash, but the voice over lingers over and prevents you from progressing, sorta defeating the point. In terms of gameplay, this game feels like an office worker's "Papers Please"! A QOL suggestion would be progressively adding in concepts to grapple. The entire handbook at one go seems a lot to read and process (but is an accurate simulation of working life, i suppose if that's the satire).
Hey thanks for the feedback! The dialogue not progressing was a bug, fixed now :)
This game is pretty awesome! Great job.
