i love the idea and liked how the core game play is not the boring work. i actually followed through the instruction no reading the instruction, then realized that I had to apply to jobs. really fun game and actually so relatable haha
love the concept and the music really got me stressing not to get caught great game man, but i got caught and won at the same time and both phrases were on the screen
This is why I work remote. Love the concept
Such a cool concept!! Loved the art style and the boss has a lot of personality. Having to unpack the boxes was fun as well, I just couldn't tell if that helped in any way or if it just made the freedom go down faster. Could be fun to incorporate it a bit more. It totally captures the feeling of flash games and I had a great time playing!
very fun! wish i didnt have to hold the space bar, but i guess therein lies the challenge right? it does make me want to keep trying to break free! love the animations
Wow , I can feel the game , its very relatable , Amazing work with idea , visual , audio , Freedom part is hard and that makes game engaging , Nice Game.
Please Checkout my game too if possible.
This is a cool interpretation of the theme. The chance of freedom seems to diminish very quickly but maybe thats just a meta commentary about how we'll never escape the 9 to 5 grind! Good work :)
Liked the idea; but, as others have said, the freedom drop trigger is confusing, and it falls too quickly.
Super creative idea! Love the frantic managing between doing the job and applying for applications. Would like there to be an indicator that space bar = pull up phone in game. Nice work!
Reminds me of old flash games where you do the same thing literally. What a flashback!
I liked the concept and I got the job. Am I a proper gamedev now?
BTW: I unpacked too many laptops that I care to admit before I realized this is not the point of the game :D
concept was cool but the freedrom drops way too quickly. really enjoyed just doing the job thing. Also am confused on why the freedom goes down only after using the phone if a loop was not done
Interesting concept, I struggled a bit because the text on the step by step note was hard to read in the embedded Itch page but still had fun!
I though this game was very clever, and fun! I wasn't able to earn my freedom but that didn't stop me from trying! Good job on the graphics and music.
I really love the concept of the game !
