I love the concept and the simplicity of the design. Well done! Here's a link to my playthrough... https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1608861556?t=00h09m41s

How does your game fit the theme?
You are the new emplyee of the company, but your boss is very inquisitor, and is absorving your life slowly, until you becomes into a zombie worker.

Comments
Would have been nice if there was a game description, since I was confused as to what was going on at first, especially since the title and image gave me the impression the game was about a job interview as opposed to working.
I tried to strike a balance between being nice to my wife and boss and not losing too much life and got fired just in time to not become a zombie :)
Unique perspective on the topic ๐!
GAMEPLAY
This was something different for absorption. Nice! I did not always know the goal with the percentages but it was fun to play and suffer the consequences of my choices ๐.
GRAPHICS/ART
Very nice drawn graphics! Fitted well in the whole game style. Maybe some more action on the screen itself would be nice for an update. But it was still good.
AUDIO
Coherent ambient office audio. Did make me nervous after a while C, but that was totally into the game vibe.
THEME
Unique approach. Nice different angle on the subject.
Overall a nice fun clicker game ๐!
wow, that was an unexpected take on absorption... which sadly is true :(
seriously, the struggle to balance work / life is greatly shown through the mechanics and visuals of the game, making for a quite satiric and interesting experience
well done <3
Living on 1%:
Feels like my life sometimes... ๐
Amazing job! The graphics looked a lot like something made in Animaker or Vyond -- I really, really, like it! It is super cool how your simple game worked -- Regulating home life vs. work life. I do not know how long I would survive in real life. It is awesome how I turn more and more into a zombie as my life percentage goes down. I really liked that "I got absorbed" by my boss or I got fired for talking back. Really fun take on the theme. The sound effects were quite fitting but did get a little annoying after a while. Overall, Super Solid Entry, Fantastic Job, & Keep It Up!
Really great art style! Fun take on the theme, its something different than everyone else. I did not really understand if i should keep the life to 100% or get it down? i kept it at 100 and then i got fired lol.
Maybe a little tutorial / tutorial screen should help! (or i missed it idk?)
Nevertheless great entry well done.
