Music is relaxing and the dialogue pretty funny. Would have been great to see the lies get even more ridiculous and out of control, but I can see how that will take some time still to design :)

Good job :)

Very simple, visually pleasing with nice music, neat although little cheesy writing. In terms of mechanics I guess everything is fine, however I thought they will question me more on my lies, the interview couldn't go smoother than it went on my first try, so maybe you should make it harder for the future. To be honest the interviewer looked a little dumb with her questions, which she also admitted that the question was silly.
Well, I'll use this game as a template for my next job interview wish me luck guys ;)
Overall: Nice game with a potential to build something bigger out of this idea.

eh Edit: also the tittle is very clever!

Thank you for your feedback! Planning the dialogue out was more complicated than we anticipated, so some paths ended up being easy and not very interesting.  We wanted to make it more and more complicated (And ridiculous) as questions passed but we had to settle on cutting the game a little short for time constraints, but we are glad that we were able to sell the idea even if we didn't make all that we had in mind. We wish you luck on your future job interview (just make sure you keep your stories straight lol)!

Great job! I really like the combination of the visual styles and the music- they worked well together, and looked polished. The main menu is very complete as well, I was happily surprised to see a Preferences page!

I would say that for my playthrough, the lies were pretty straightforward- if I stuck with a Latin American theme for my answers, she never got mad. If you add a few more "checks" where she tests your knowledge of your answers, and a few trick questions it would really be tough to keep track of it all!

Good job, hope you all had fun! Good luck!

Thank you! We wanted to have a ton of questions and checks but the time made us have to cut it a little short, but thank you for your feedback. I hope you try checking the other paths as well!
