I liked how the story evolved around your decisions and the persons in the applications. At first i denied all applications for TNT because is it really used in fireworks?

The news section in particular is a treat to go through--it's really fun to figure out whose orders are going to cause havoc to the world. Flipping back and forth between the request and background check screens does get a bit tedious sometimes; it might be better to have them be viewable on the same screen. Besides that, the graphics and sound design are quite fitting for the narrative, although the lack of music in the main menu is a bit unfortunate.\n\nThere might be a bug with the calculated display of values at every day's end. This is especially evident when replaying the game: the values on the day's end display seem to be calculated based on the values from a previous playthrough.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":748987,"author_name":"Shea Kelly","author_uid":"shea-kelly","epoch":1633643434,"text":"I love these types of games a huge thumbs up from me!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":749871,"author_name":"Nahuelito","author_uid":"nahuelito","epoch":1633660372,"text":"Fun and engaging.
