pathfinding is a bit hard to control sometimes
and i dont know what is the aim in the game overall? to stay alive as long as possible? or work as much? idk
Fun music, like the art style, pathfinding was a lil wonky at times.
Very good job!
I would like to be able to be promoted at work again
It was also intriguing to find out what sort of mischief I could get up to with R :smirk:
Ah, adding alcohol to coffee gives you extra energy. I'll have to remember that! xP
Got to the third "phase" but couldn't find enough interaction points to proceed any further than that. I wonder if one of them was hidden off-screen (I have a 5:4 aspect ratio resolution).
The tutorial description is a bit confusing. You write that I should not "make my bad deeds too much". But there is no other way to progress through the game than exactly by doing too many bad deeds. And if you don't do them from the second day onward, you will just lose. So yeah, confusing tutorial :wink:
I liked your approach to the theme, the graphics are nice, and the music is cool as well (if not particularly fitting to this dark, dark world).
I encountered only one real bug. I had trouble interacting with the bottle in the area on the screenshot below. When I approached from a certain angle, an interaction bubble popped just for half a second and disappeared. I never managed to find a proper place to stand at to interact with that bottle.

The game needs some little balancing by the way.
