Hey, I get an error trying to run the game on windows: "There should be 'YouHaveBeenSummoned_Data'
folder next to the executable" - unless I manually rename the data folder - you may want to rename and reupload :)

The data folder is misnamed, and atm I get locked into the place after the first encounter.

Fun and unique idea! Although I felt like I got stuck a few times, and its not super clear when I get stuck because I lost since I got small talked, or if it was a bug

The data folder is misnamed and had to rename it to play.
The idea looks fun but I was stuck at the first coworker "Gotta go!"

Thanks for playing and the feedback! We renamed the .exe last minute but forgot to update the data folder name. We're in Europe so I woke up too late to see the comments and reupload before submissions closed.

We are aware there's sometimes a bug where you get stuck indefinitely in conversation that we never managed to properly fix. We did plan to include an audio cue to let the player know when they are free to walk again but sadly never got that implemented. If you can turn around when they are "talking" to you that's a bug and the only fix is to restart the game.

Gotta go!

I was stuck at the beginning for a short while until I realized that you couldn't disarm coworkers after they began the shorttalk (I didn't even know they began it.)
But after a while, I realized how the game worked and it was quite fun actually.

I like the art and the idea, the voice line was also cool but i was struggling with the arrow keys movement since i have a 60 percent keyboard and i had to hold down the function key to look here and there, keeping alternatives for arrow keys might be helful, but great work overall loved it!

Unfortunately I cant move after I finger gun my coworkers, so I couldn't fully enjoy this game. The art and music was nice.

As commenters above, I've got a bug, when player stuck after saying "Gotta go". But I like the idea!

Really amusing and a little bit challenging.
Great game.

Nice music, but sadly I can't move anymore after the first conversation with the worker. Also I can't see the watch of my character.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to move after any small talk. But this added some interest when trying to beat all colleagues
Interesting idea, graphics and music
