Interesting idea for a game, but:

The game has a tendency to freeze the first time you use the coffee button. There were also some issues simply with starting the computer
The pace is too fast. It's not entirely clear what to look at first: the text of the email message, or just press one of two buttons based on the current situation. I would like to read the messages and make decisions based on logic (of course, if that will have meaning later on)
In my opinion, there are too few activities. Ordering coffee is fine, but it's not enough to fully entertain the player. If the goal was dynamic gameplay, you could add necessary mini-games (for example, restarting the computer or some other devices that are nearby)

Thanks for the detailed feedback! Responding to each bullet

I noticed that as well. I was having some problems with performance on the web version. I think the coffee spawn first press could be fixed by batching a few of the coffee models up. That first one has a bit of trouble for some reason.
Yeah, I jumped to this because it seemed like more of a challenge, but you definitely can't read all the text. If I'm being honest it was to hide the fact that I didn't have as many email variations as I would have liked.
Definitely agreed here. Another victim of time unfortunately. I had ideas for managing chat messages, playing with excel docs, but I just couldn't fit them in. Maybe a v2 will have these

Thanks again for the detailed feedback, and thank you for playing!
