really well made game! the art style + ui worked together super well, and the main menu screen is hilarious. the gameplay loop does a great job of capturing the stressful experience of being a hiring manager, and i liked how the screen slowly became overrun by scrapped and released projects! after playing fora while, its funny how the employees slowly became nothing more than just numbers, especially with salaries and load amounts, and trying to match personalities while reaching the load requirement was a fun mental exercise. uniquely ambitious!
