This is a nice idea for a game, for sure. I liked the background music, it fit the mildly hectic corporate environment I imagine all this taking place in! Also loved seeing the various replies you could give and the text that was generated for them - I was typing them very fast but of what I saw, it was funny. Overall, I just like the concept, and it's executed pretty well. Nice work!

Love this game! I'm always not good at cleaning emails! As you may find in my game, I wanted to involve similar tasks list to be cleared by player, but didn't have time to consider more.

Too relatable. I included it in my GMTK Game Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

The idea behind this is genius. It clicked with me immediately. I cannot tell you how much I love the lunchtime icon. It's absolutely gorgeous. 

Very fun and original game. Great job!
