It looks like working at a software company cost you 25$ :(. I wish there was some way to understand how its my happiness or some other factors besides time and money. Still an accurate reflection of a software engineer life :)

Nice game, I played quite a while and enjoyed doing so. There are some bugs here and there but the writing is nice and there are enough random generated content to keep me interested. Nice work!

Nice game. :)

A cool idea and a nice game overall with a lot of diverse events. I think there could've maybe been something to indicate the character's well-being, since the developer knows exactly what's happening under the hood with each action, but us players don't. I definitely liked the simple art style though.

A short lived little game displaying the sad sad truth, in an exaggerated way of course. It get a little repetitive after some time, but so does life, right? :D

Really like the concept. It really drives home how software/game Dev feels sometimes. Felt like the style could have used some more polish, however that's just my opinion and it doesn't take away from the game's value. Thanks for making it! :)

Well done. I think at a certain point, I understood what the game wanted me to do and it just became clicking really fast lol. I also didn't really see how the courses I was taking impacted what kind of job offers I was getting. Also, there didn't seem to be any winning. Just like... you have the best job and now you're just doing it. Decently enjoyable game, just would've liked a little more intricacy.

Nice adaptation of the theme, but I only gave it two tries and died at age 17, cause I really didn't understand what I was suffering from (taking a lot of rest seemed to make me stressed?). The graphics and the font have a good simplistic look :v:

Great take on the theme! I died after washing dishes too many times!

I couldn't stop after I died at 17. I lived to 56, and that was a long run. Got repetitive, but I really liked all of the choice and the interactions between choices. Nice job!

Nice game ! Got a bit repetitive, maybe add more events to keep the player engaged, and I sometimes had a bug where the button selected was not the one I hovered with my mouse, but other than that, it was a fun game :)

WoW!!! Your game is very similar concept to mine, but at the same time they are different. I really love it! Congratulations!

I played this unitl "I made it" as a CTO in a startup and didn't have to worry about anything. Studied all there was to study, then worked myself to death washing dishes.

Nice idea, well executed. I know now that I'm really bad at living, haha.
Is there a way to know your health status? On the first playtrhough I wasn't sure what was going to happen to me, and I didn't it to happen again on my second one but I'm not sure what causes bad health.

Nice game, pretty stressing when you think about it :p Yeah, the life of a game dev isn't easy, but hey, at least we won't give up :)

I like the simple interface, it really puts forward the smooth animations and the story. I wish there was some audio to back up the game, even some simple sound effect when you click on a button for example. But apart from this minor complaint, nice hob ;)
