I played version 1.0.2.

This is a small game. Nothing wrong with that. I like small games.

Nice colour scheme.

The tense of your verbs is inconsistent. In some cases you use the present tense (e.g. find, take) and in other cases you use the past tense (e.g. found, took). Adventures tend to use the present tense, so rather than "You took the gameboy.", you should use "You take the gameboy.". It doesn't really matter which tense you use, so long as you're consistent.

When you EXAMINE DESK a second time, you get told about the draft resignation letters, but if you try to EXAMINE LETTERS, you get told "Not here."

When you LOWER THERMOSTAT, your colleagues did not like that, but nothing happens and it's still set exceptionally high. If nothing changes, it might be better to say "Your colleagues prevent you lowering it."

Consider REDUCE as a synonym for LOWER. Consider INCREASE as a synonym for RAISE.

Can't CLOSE BAG.

Consider overriding the system HELP command, as it returns more than 6 words.

You might also like to provide some prettier CREDITS. You can still see the system credits with *CREDITS.

"Managers Office" should be "Manager's Office".

I wanted to read the resignation letters, but READ was not understood.

If you're not allowed to GET RESIGNATIONS, then you should be given a reason for it. They're only letters, after all. If I can't get them, then how come I'm allowed to do what needed to be done?

"They are frantically..." should be "He/She is frantically..." as there's only one receptionist.

Similarly, "They are busy..." should be "He/She is busy...".

Can't WEAR HEADPHONES.

Can't DRINK DRINK.

Can't CLOSE FRIDGE.

Can't CLOSE DOOR.

In my opinion, OPEN and UNLOCK should be separate actions. You need to unlock the door before you can open it.

This was a fun little game. There was a good range of verbs understood and the pace was about right. I didn't think of doing what had to be done to the letters, as I had tried this elsewhere and it didn't do anything. Apart from that, everything was reasonably logical. If this was your first Adventuron game, then you've done really well.

Another short and sweet game.  Felt sorry for the receptionist!

It would have been nice to be able to talk to the cleaner who was hiding in the kitchen cupboard.

I was wondering about the cleaner, too. I was wondering why he/she was hiding, then I thought that it might have been an object, rather than a person. It felt like an unfinished puzzle.
