The title for most absurd game of the jam might just go to this one; but I think that's a great thing! The whole atmosphere is just so eerie, and I love how (I assume purposely) unintuitive and disorienting the whole place and sequence of actions feels (+ how questionable the whole objective of your job is).
The gameplay feels odd and a bit clunky, but weirdly enough this just adds to the liminal, slightly uncomfortable feel of the game. I actually enjoyed how the pill just slipped out of your hand when moving to fast; it adds both literal and figurative 'weight' behind this "purification pill" you're carrying. 
Now the only problem I had with this game, is that the time frames you have for each task are incredibly tight. Even on my third attempt when I was sprinting around as efficiently as I could, I still couldn't make it past 2pm. As such, I never got to see the second ending, I'm afraid :(
I think the main problem is the combination of the clunky controls and the high time pressure; I think either cleaning up the controls or lowering the time limit might fix this problem. Personally, I would opt for the second choice, but that's up to you of course.

Anyway, great job! You got a follower, just for how unique and interesting this game is :)
And by the way, I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts on my game as well, seeing as there's a very slight overlap between the two games (working in some sort of odd facility of questionable nature).

Good job mate, the game is enjoyable maybe a little bit too repetitive but fun to play nonetheless, I tried couple of times but unfortunately I can't seem to get the job done in time, the boss is really mad at me :( 

I was a little bit in tension since the game has kind of a horror vibe to it, especially when I failed and had to go see the boss hahahaha

Great game tho seems like it has a lot of potential!
