Atmosphere is awful, which is a good thing! I want to see where you push that after the jam :)

Hello fellow Godot-er :)
Sorry to hear you couldn't get the build you wanted up in time.... I've experienced that before too and it's super frustrating!

But what is there is really nice! It was fun just poking around the office. I faxed something! The mattress on the floor has some grim implications ^^;

Looking forward to checking it out once the rating period is over!

Hi there Cameron! :D Thanks, I'm glad you like the parts that are there! I've got a working build ready to be uploaded as soon as the voting period ends, I'm looking forward to hear your thoughts on that version! :)

Really love the Windows UI style of this game, it fits super well with the game atmosphere, and the gameplay also impressed me a lot. Nice work!

Developer

Thank you! :)

What a unique atmosphere! Incredible job on recreating the old windows OS - amazing graphics. 

Developer

Thanks, James! Feel free to check it out again once we have our fix uploaded :D

The atmosphere is so immersive with sounds and visuals! I'm looking forward to play it. I wanted to answer the phone so bad :(

Developer

Thanks! The conference call is on the pc :) You should see one of the apps flash in the taskbar during the ringing. It will only work on the first day though since the game export is bugged 😅, I will upload a fix as soon as the voting period ends.

This is an absolutely outstanding submission and I'm going to come back for sure when it's working as intended.  There's so much juice and charm in what's already working!  Opening up the calendar and just watching and waiting until it's time for your meeting nailed the office job experience.  Amazing showing, I'll be back and give constructive feedback then! 

Developer

Thanks for the nice words, Matt! I hope you'll enjoy the game once the fix is up, I'm looking forward to your feedback! :)

It is SUCH a pity that the game isn't working as intended, because I really think it's a winner. Everything about this is amazing - the concept, the visuals, the atmosphere - even little touches like "perform maintenance" being a swift kick to the copier. And as someone who works a soul-draining 9-5, it's nice to be able to look at my job with a little levity. Following so I can play the game in all its glory after the jam concludes!

Developer

Thanks! Yeah, it's a bit of a bitter pill to swallow, but it happens. :) I'm really glad you like the parts that are working. Let us know what you think of the fixed build later this week, and thanks for checking it out! :)

Loved the game! Will play again to understand what you must do. But the graphics, atmosphere and sound effects are spot on! I love games that simulate old computers

Hi there! Unfortunately, we ran into a build issue which broke the mission spawner. I'll upload a fixed version once the GMTK voting period ends, so feel free to check the game out then! Really happy to hear you're enjoying the atmosphere! :)
