Two Interviewees takes what can be an interesting concept to look at, hiring practices and inherit biases, and handles it with it’s own poor biases. For instances it loves to talk about how women have it tougher even though in my first play through neither the man or woman got hired and both got similar grades. This isn’t even touching on the fact that it disregards certain real world facts such as men by and large being a huge majority of work place deaths as well as working more overtime. In the end my play through took only 2 minutes so it is hard to expect what kind of issues the game expected to tackle in that time. The game does explore a bit of both sides such as if the man wears jewellery they’re perceived as gay and if the man asks for less money they’re perceived as desperate but overall there isn’t enough content to judge much further. Really all this would show in real life is that some companies and people in them are terrible humans and some aren’t. Gender doesn’t really factor in there. The music was decent and the art style was an interesting minimalist style.

    I played Two Interviewees on Linux. It never crashed on me and I didn’t notice any spelling errors. There does appear to be an issue where I can save my game but I see no option to load a save game. Alt-Tab Works.

    Overall while there was potential here I feel the game squandered it and wasn’t really worth playing. It is free but so are many other quality visual novels.
