The game

In Product Company, you need to care care of a company.

You need money.

Employees can give you money.

But employees are also people.

And people might be weird.

And weird people hurt your reputation.

To save your reputation, will you sacrifice a very lucrative, yet racist, employee?

To avoid going bankrupt, will you sacrifice a very friendly, yet not very profitable, employee?

How long will your company last?

You'll only need your mouse for this one!

I enjoyed hiring and firing people) It's fun to play and requires a lot of attention to keep things going.

the concept of manage and sacrifice (or not) workers depending of their behaviour is interesting. As dapotap said, the game requires a lot of attention on the message log each month, but maybe this message disappear a little bit to fast (in my case, but i'm a little bit slow to read ^^')
You could also add more impact about firing people (like, i don't know, they're angry and that can also affect the reputation, but it may be too much if combine with the impact at the end of each month)
Anyway, nice work.

If you have time, come to rate and comment our game.
