The subject matter in this entry is way too relatable for me, and it's a great interpretation of the theme . The aesthetic of everything here is consistent and serves the purpose of creating a sense of lethargy and exhaustion, but it still manages to have a sense of humor and be an entertaining portrayal of this predicament.
I really liked the writing - it has a dark sense of humor that fits with the tone well. I particularly liked the AI bot being called A.I.N.U.S. The art also really shines here and I like the choice of palette a lot. The music is good and fitting, but it does get a little repetitive with the one track I heard.
The tediousness of job hunting is pretty effectively portrayed in a gamified way here, but imo it was just a little too tedious to be something I'd want to come back to. I wasn't able to get past the aptitude test because I didn't want to have to memorize arbitrary answers and couldn't seem to find any hints around the world. It's a fitting parallel to what it's like looking for jobs in 2025, and I like the social commentary, but the tediousness of it was enough to turn me off from seeing the game through. Other than this, I really liked the game!
Nice entry!
