Perfectly captures what being in customer service is like. :)
Wasn't 100% on what to do, so ended up deleting users' files, plugging/unplugging cables at random. Got completely stuck on the ransomware problem.
Would also help if the people with problems were jumping up and screaming (as they would in real life) so you didn't have to check each computer to see if there's an issue.

took me a while to find the people having IT problems. also it was not that easy to understand what to do to fix it. once i was not able to select any options and had no clue what's going on. also I did not understand how to solve the ransomware problem.
still a very nice and awesome game with cute graphics and a nice soundtrack - great job!

By typing 'c', you get the tickets view. Here you can select tickets with 'x' and the corresponding computers will be indicated on the map ;) Once all the problems are solved on this computer, the ticket will turn green in the tickets view, and you can hit 'x' to remove this ticket.

Sometimes, the mouse or the keyboard of the user is unplugged, this is why you can't move on the pc view. You have to plug the cables first :)

For the ransomware problem, you just need to run the anti-virus (avost)

It took a while to figure how things worked, but once I understood I started to enjoy more and am glad I spent time with the game <3

Creative but I just don't understand why so many of the games this jam have deliberately terrible controls. It does not click with me.
