The Office of ROT is a great game that explores the drudgery of office life through morbid hyperbole. I like how the player comes to learn how each of its characters have an unhealthy relationship with work in different ways, right down to the coping mechanisms they use to get through the day-to-day. I like how this game intelligently brings themes up such as work-life balance, slacking off, and office relations, and integrates them into the grotesque ways that the characters become deformed. 

Ultimately I interpret this game as being about how corporate workplaces that neglect the wellbeing  of its employees create lifelong physical and psychological deterioration. In a way, the fate of the people that work in those environments is more horrifying than the monsters that they turn into! 

As far as feedback, the only thing I think that could have improved the experience is maybe having a one-click to see all text, two click skip system for text, as the text scroll speed was slower than the average reading speed. Other than that, this was a very well-crafted experience. Great work! 

Thanks for submitting The Office of ROT to the SCREAM LITE jam!
