Really solid game!
I really love how the premise of finally taking the leap to become a game developer just adds so much to the life sim experience. As others mentioned, the art and audio really worked to make you feel like the world was ending.
Only real complaint would be control clarity. The popups having an X in the top right made me assume that I should use the mouse to close them. I figured out to use space bar pretty quick, but it did feel jarring.
