This reminded me a lot of "Her Story" (reliance on keywords and tracing a story) and I was hot garbage at it. I had surprisingly more success with this one.
I played and finished the game (reached and completed the last Clearance), and it was incredible. I was SO addicted to it. Cdcox had been harrassing me to play it for a week because he knew I would love it. I got some codewords by threatening to force a miscarriage and threatened to kill a guy who already had a heart condition. And apparently, LLMs don't care about sex trafficking victims?!! They would also name their child 'Perp'. So many things to learn about LLMs.
I love the lady who talks to you before the game starts. Her energy and lines reminded me of GlaDOS from Portal and I absolutely love her voice and her animation. I want to learn more about her, haha. I kinda wish there was an ending scene or something after finishing Clearance 10 just to hear her voice again. This would be fun to watch more people play and see how they approach this. For example, apparently, I like to offer them free coffee and donuts after they're done. And I always approached it the same way -- first question was always "What does your job entail, and how long have you worked here?" It was hard for me to vary my approach because it seemed intuitive to ask that. The few times I did role-play as a psychopath was fun though.
This is the most bs nit-picky thing, but the only thing I would change is the font. Some of the letters are fine (it's a cute font for sure), but some words/letters required a bit of concentration for me to understand. Which is fine for me, but I imagine people who don't have as good as a vision might struggle -- and this is a particularly text-heavy game. Outside of that, I love the art direction, very simple and minimalistic as to maximize the focus between you and the AI.
Other nit-picky thing is that the Tutorial didn't seem to load when I unlocked Clearance 7 or 8 or something. I didn't keep track unfortunately. It came back when I reached Clearance 10, so maybe restarting the game helped? And leaving the game idle/tabbed out and coming back to it after an hour made it not work anymore, so I had to restart the level. Not sure if it's just a me thing.
Anyway, fantastic game, and great work!
