Hey! Thanks for playing the demo. Really enjoyed your playthrough! (You also found a bug with the "Work Button" that we didn't know existed :P). Can't wait to see you play the full game when it's released!
Hey, really enjoyed this game! Had only a few small things about it, but overall really enjoyed it. Can't wait for the full release, so keep up the great work
Hi Batman! Thanks for playing! You were a very productive employee indeed and it made for a highly entertaining watch! :)
Very good stuff, I like it! Horror game with humor and some problem solving. Would like to do play this again once it fully comes out. Honestly would quit my job in a heart beat if this was IRL. haha! Good stuff!
Hey! There is no quitting now! Remember, you have donated your entire life to CorpCorp for minimal pay ;)
All jokes aside, thanks so much for playing. We really enjoyed watching your playthrough!
For being only a demo on the first shift, this is not too shabby at all so far! Solid gameplay mechanics, puzzles, sound design, tension, you name it. This demo was an absolute treat to check out and I cannot wait for the full game! Being stuck at this computer trying to figure out this place while maintaining normalcy for the boss was quite nerve wracking for sure. Made a video on it.
Hi Spooky!! Thank you so much for checking out the demo. We watched your video and appreciate your kind words! Your feedback was also super helpful. It sparked some good ideas on how we can make progression feel more clear. Can't wait to see you back for the full release, lots more investigating to do :)
This is cool!!!
Thank you!! :) :)
I chose to stream your demo & it was recommended! Your game is at 5:57 (First one & the thumbnail! :D)
I had a LOT of fun with this, now I am not a fan of point & click, but this was decent, I didn't get bored, there was a lot to do in this demo, I liked the panic of the boss coming out and needing to make sure that bar was still on "Productive" or something haha. I did worry he was going to catch me as I did have the webcam set on Henry haha, maybe that can be a later worry? I liked that you also unlocked different backgrounds (Which I never saw) and I also liked you could download the vending machine.. wish I could do that haha, just for cans of coca cola.
I did scream, I laughed, i cried.. I had great fun! I look forward to the full game. Here is my stream! Awesome work!
Your reaction to Henry on the webcam was gold! I had to rewatch that several times. So, so funny :P Thank you so much for playing!!!
Hi Bobe-Wan!! Thanks so much for the play! We had a great time watching your video!! You were very "productive". Bossman Bill was impressed :D
Only thing I didn't like about this game was that it was only a demo, haha. The ending sucks you in JUST enough that you feel empty when it says "end of demo." Such a fun game!! Seriously can't wait to see the full game release! The only note that could be nice is just a way to increase the dialog volume of the characters, but at the same time it makes sense for Henry to be a little quiet since he is mumbling to himself. The worry of not understanding him fit the atmosphere pretty well.
Thank you so much for checking out our demo!! We had some really good laughs watching your playthrough. You and Henry appeared to be good friends by the end of the shift :P
Cheers!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I think me and Henry will have a long lasting friendship now. Great guy once you've hit him with your mug a few times. Really comes around, haha.
Hey there! I played this for a youtube video!
This was a very good concept and an interesting game, not really similar to any i've played before. You have to survive in an office where something CLEARLY isn't right, with coworkers that are beyond scary.
I did have some complaints as to not being able to save and the voices being pretty quiet (with the sound settings being all the way up). I explain this more in my video. I had to replay the demo quite a few times because I missed the button when the boss walked by or didn't hear the audio queue for henry because I was focusing hard on something else.
Overall, I really enjoyed this and am super excited for the full game!
Edit:My video!
Thank you so much for playing and we really appreciate the feedback! We will be looking out for your video tomorrow :)
Cheers!
Video is up!
We watched the video and were so glad you gave it one more shot to make it to the end! Also loving all of your gameplay shorts! Thanks again for playing and we hope to see you back for the full release :) :)
