CEO Sim 2015 by lkpridgeon
You are a person just trying to get by from day to day under the reign of greedy companies making living expenses rise whilst lobbying the government to allow lower wages until an unlikely event places you in their shoes.

Shame you didn't get to where you wanted to, but I managed to save my company millions and get them some awesome tax breaks...!
-Good Writing
-Frequent Choices
The choices don't even have to be meaningful, but just putting a "continue" button down at the end doesn't constitute gameplay... and while the writing had some decent ideas, it really didn't hold up with as much attention as you were giving it. There were too many words, not enough happening, and the jokes were all very obvious and slightly dull.
If you want to make a choose-your-own adventure again at some point, make sure you put a lot more effort into making the writing flow better. Cut out fluff, assume your audience is familiar with cultural tropes - don't explain them.
The start of the game was promising. I was hoping the EULA would have the answers to some puzzles later on, but that expectation didn't pay off. But once the survey ended the game got about as dull as a data entry job.
I know towards the end it got a little off-putting and boring however I do plan to extend and rewrite some of it when I get chance. I never really intended it to be funny so I am sorry that it was rather stale in some areas.
I thank-you for playing and the constructive criticism of which I will take on board.
Shame you didn't manage to get it all done, but it was a great idea. Nicely implemented too; I liked the survey that included a question from the EULA.
