“Absolutely brutal management game on a blind playthrough, and you'll find yourself hitting the reset day button quite a bit. Much suffering to be had, would still recommend playing though”

“its funny till a random employee decides its their time and throw themselves into a dusk ordeal without being ordered to do so”
“Grueling and unforgiving, but ultimately fair and even has plenty of exploitable mechanics to balance the scales. Half the game is trying to figure out the rules, and the rest is working around them to balance success…”
