Very cool stylish art and works well in the office theme. All of the assets seems to be handmade which is very neat.

For the gameplay, it apparently took me 16+ minutes to finish the game. To print out all of the 20 pages. I printed 21 in fact and I thought the game would be over. I have to wait like 2-3 more minutes for the clock to time out. I think a small game like this with a repetitive task would be best around 5-6 minutes.

I think the monotonous part of doing repetitive task being in a corporates machine fits the narrative of the gameplay and it works on paper.

But playing the game is a bit rough 😭😭😭. Everything about this game is slow like the dialog text which I can’t really skip it. To stand and wait to print a single page. It slows down the pace of the game by a lot. ** Maybe when the printer is printing. The player can leave to do other task and to retrieve the page. **

I think to make the monotonous more interesting and engaing. Maybe there could be like events that happens throughout when you print out 5+ pages. Like an environment hazard for example; a Janior spilled water on the floor. If you step on it you slip (something that makes the character miserable but the player can laugh about or benefit from). Something that helps the player like printing out 2x the pages. Something to speed up the gameplay.

I notice there is a challenge to talk to like 25+ something NPCs and I really don’t feel like it because it’s a pain to sit through all of the slow dialog and I don’t get rewarded 😭😭😭. **So maybe the player can be rewarded? ** Like coworker helping out or something.

Oh also in the beginning I don’t know who to give the paper to as all of the cat looks the same. Maybe have the boss be a big cat or have different color scheme than the duplicate NPCs. Even though the boss has the biggest desk. It would be more clear to identify he is more important by having imposing character design.
