I couldn't hire anyone from the audition even though I had the money, it seems to be broken. I'm playing on browser, brave.
The one one the far left (with the price tag) is the only one you can hire for now. I notice several bug reports that it take several clicks to hire her on Firefox also. Please notice it`s still a Proof of Concept Build, tons of broken feature.
Thanks, I'll try it that way.
