Review RobTenken 4/5 · Oct 4, 2020
Unpolished but with fun puzzles and a creative take on the corporate machine
If I could give 3.5 stars, I would. This was a fun time, and given that it clocks in at under 5 hours (having played all levels, I believe), it felt pretty worthwhile.
It's worth emphasizing how unpolished this is. You retread a lot of unnecessary ground when you lose/die, including re-executing the solution to other puzzles. You'll find lots …

It's worth emphasizing how unpolished this is. You retread a lot of unnecessary ground when you lose/die, including re-executing the solution to other puzzles. You'll find lots of typos. The combat system felt a little meh—like more could have been done with it.
That's not to say it's a bad game, though. It had a lot of creative puzzles that made you think through alternate approaches. The toolkit it gave was fun to play with and get to learn and re-evaluate. The story had some charm and gave an interesting perspective on the corporate world, especially as it relates to those who are habitually thought less of despite their contributions. It was worth the time I put in. If you already own this, it's at least worth dipping your toes into to see if it's your jam.
