They Beep by etherframegames
JUST THINK OF THE BUGS AS ABSURDIST HUMOR.
They Beep is a dialogue driven, point-and-click game where you play as a man named Travis. Travis thinks there might be a robotic infiltrator at the office.
But probably not.
CONTROLS
Just the mouse.
They Beep is designed to run at 640x480 resolution, so larger ones will create artifacts on the sides of the screen.

My only complaint is that there isn't much freedom in the dialogue - you can't leave a conversation once it's started, and can't go back and talk to someone again (or if you can, I couldn't figure out how).
Though I could not find the robot :/
All-in-all I enjoyed the humor and was reminded far too much of my own experience in office environments, so thank you for the flashbacks ._.
I really like the concept, but couldn't figure out what to do. After talking to everyone I got a game over screen. I thought I'd be able to go back and talk to re-question people but you can't talk to people more than once.
Also, following the same dialogue structure gives a clearer structure to the puzzle solving, but it did make it harder to remember who said what.
