Despite my confusion with the controls at the beginning, I really liked the mystery and puzzles. The characters were really charming too (in their own way :D)! The retro-vibes and style of the characters made me feel nostalgic.💜
really loved that one! checked it out because of a tweet by the user kirvias.
the artstyle is insanely cool, charming and matches the game well. its very good aesthetically - i loved its portrayal of like... the picture of that high brow office job? and how its flashed out in 9th floor. great stuff!!
i think i had some trouble with getting the final ending, but that might have been intentional? i didnt get the final screen i think. nointeractions were possible after entering the fire exit, just sounds of footsteps.
overall i just really loved it! a wonderful treat for the spooky season, ill recommend it to my friends! my favourite ending was the REAL one i think :DD
Hi there!! In that case the fn/look up and down function is totally optional so it won't be a problem when playing the game so you can not worry about it and proceed, sorry for the confusion/inconvenience!
i really enjoyed this game! it was so much fun and i love point and click games, the art style, and the guide was super helpful since i got stuck sometimes :)) i would love to play through it again to get the secret ending, but in the mean time, keep up the good work <33
Hey there played your game cuz of the spooktober game jam and it was really fun! Trying to get all the endings was a challenge as the last secret ending I thought was a bug LOL so I just closed my game. But a lot of work and creativity is in this best of luck. Here's my video with another game -
The Mac version is broken. It can play but when I die and press "new game" it resets the game from the start (literally the opening narration, etc.). This wouldn't be a problem but to get the scissors, you have to die and come back. Since the game isn't keeping track of deaths, I am unable to get the scissors (even when I talk to co-worker etc.). Other than that, this game looks great. Wish I could play it though.
Hi there! Thank you for letting me know- There is a solution to that! In order for your game to run as it should it needs to be able to autosave itself but for the mac version if you download it the wrong way the saving function doesn't work at all, ultimately fully resetting every time you die without remembering what you did past run.
I wrote it in the download instructions already that when you download the zip file, you need to extract the zip file into a folder- and when you open the folder, drag the "game" file (only the game file not the entire folder) out from that folder and into your applications folder. Once you get the game file in the applications folder, try to open the game file there- if it doesn't open continue clicking until it does and it'll eventually let it run. If you did this the right way then your game'll be able to save and let the game run/progress normally! Try redownloading and follow those steps again? Hope this was helpful!!
I got all of the endings/deaths/posters except for number 14. That's weird, I could've sworn that getting all of the other endings will play a secret cutscene or something.
Hi!! Thank you for checking out the game, it means a lot!! And yeah I've been getting feedbacks of the secret ending/cutscene not playing even you got all the deaths/endings so I'm currently trying to fix it, hopefully I can update it soon! Thank you for letting me know! (And the typo of "Your" was on purpose!! Gives it a more uncanny/"something is off" kind of vibes :] )
this was such an amazing game! i absolutely love games that have multiple interpretations and i love the floor that had the doppelgangers in it, the banging was so eerie wonder game, i recommend!!
this is such a good game, i love love love the art! did notice one typo though, ending 13 says that it's ending 12 in the game - amazing work though this is awesome
I got all end I think the fire exit will help them but I wait for them to walk 5 minutes it only emptiness how sad. I love when we can let mice live how cute. I will play your old games too.
I love the aesthetics and the idea behind the exploration. It didn't feel super intuitive to get into and It'd be better if you didn't have to use fn to move the camera up and down. I'm assuming there's a reason for it though and I'm sorry if you've already heard that a 1000 times already :D
I'm generally not much of completionist, and I don't love it when games let you fail so early on. But you've definitely created something really interesting here so I will have to give this a few more tries.
Thank you for giving the game a try, it means a lot! I getcha, the whole game was developed around the idea of having to go through trial-and-error without prior instructions or hints (just like in real world workplace where you need to be mature and navigate all on your own)- But don't worry, the game autosaves itself so that no progress have been actually lost even if you did die/restart so hopefully it doesn't come off as too frustrating for you! The game does require you to fail in order to learn!!
Fantastic game!!!! I'm having a super fun time playing it! The atmosphere is immaculate, the character design/expressions/dynamics are fantastic, and the sound design!!! It's been awhile since I've played something so interesting :> one question though, regarding Ending 12; I had been playing the game while only skimming through the guide when I needed it and told my coworker I trusted him (he's silly n I like him) - do I have to restart the whole game in order to get all the endings since I missed that ending? If so, I don't mind, I'm enjoying the game either way :>
Thank you so much for checking the game out, I'm so so honored that you enjoy it!!
The game will automatically reset once you see ending 1, but it still will remember all the posters you collected even if everything else are set to the beginning- so while yes you still have to go through some puzzles and dialogues in order for you to get to the point where you could get any endings you missed the game will know all the deaths/endings you've seen so far (even if you didn't see them in this new run)! So you can just see the any endings you missed. Hope this was helpful!!
heyy im loving the atmosphere of the game so far, unfortunately i cant seem to look up/down? i have the fn key but 1) that controls the brightness on my computer and 2) when i try to use the keys regardless they dont work except for left/right; any tips? i really wanna play
Hey!! I'm honored that you find the atmosphere enjoyable, it means a lot! And oh no I'm so sorry to hear that you're having technical difficulties! The fn look up/down key is a totally optional function, it doesn't really matter to play or progress the game normally so if it doesn't work you don't have to worry too much about it! You can still continue!
Hi there!! I'm honored to hear that you played through the game, thank you for checking it out!! The secret ending should automatically play itself once you restart the game after getting all the endings/posters- but I've been hearing that few others are having the same problem of not getting it. Thank you for letting me know, I'll try to look more into it and fix it for the next build! It's nothing that important so you're not missing out too much!! Thank you once again for playing!
I restarted the game after doing all of the endings and still have the poster wall but i cant figure out what i missed because i did all of them. would there be a way to record the secret ending or put up a photo of the wall so i can see what im missing? (I dont have the fn key so i can't look up in the 3d mode)
Ah, I didn't explain myself properly. I meant I need a photo of the pixelated wall before you interact with it, as it has a picture of all the posters you can get, but once I interact with it I only see the posters that I already have and I'm trying to work out which one im missing since i was like 99% sure i got them all.
Everything about this game is so well done and it was overall an absolute treat to play. Incorporates horror in an office setting in a perfectly atmospheric way.
What first drew me in was the art - the art style is super cute, so when the tone changes it really catches you off guard with the more creepy CGs. I love the variation in sprite poses, character expressions, and of course, the vast number of CGs you see throughout your playthrough. Truly a feast for the eyes. Then, there's the music. Every single track in this game encapsulates the floor's atmosphere absolutely perfectly. What really stood out to me were floor 4 and 8's tracks; the way they put a childish/glitchy spin on the main theme really makes those floors off-putting. My favorite thing, though, is the dialogue/characters. The humor they add is a great breather in between all the creepy stuff. Particularly love the recurring gag with the coworker giving us fake names, and also how there's special dialogue if you keep the rat alive!
The only criticism I have is that, like many others here, ending 14 did not activate upon a new playthrough (I did triple check I got all deaths), but I did read the dev's comment about what the ending entails so it's no biggie. One other minor thing is that you can't re-check the telephone number after closing out of its window, so I had to find it in the guide since I misread the first '9' as a '4'. But like I said, it's no big deal.
TLDR; Play this game, you won't regret it! Great art + great ost + great dialogue + great execution!
Really enjoyed this, I love time prison and office settings so getting both was a real treat (especially with how it highlights The Horror Of Working In An Office). A long time ago I watched Jim Henson’s The Cube and this really reminded me of the Strange And Uncanny Vibes in that movie.
I was about to type ‘in particular, I loved—’ but realized I’d list practically everything. The music is perfectly atmospheric, especially when it got warped (and I really liked the music box version). The art style is super expressive and fun, definitely worked well when horror elements amped up. I liked how bite-sized the loops were (in some cases, literally), and the characters made such a strong impression. I love how annoying and insufferable your companion is, would love to push him down several flights of stairs. I think my favorite bit of writing was giving the answer ‘I’m irreplaceable’ and the interviewer bringing up the scissors. I also really liked floor 4 for how well it Implied Things about the main character’s experiences, very effective backstory hints.
While playing this (by backseat gaming while my sister actually played it), we did miss ending 4 and 6 before getting ending 1, but after getting sent to the beginning with all the posters on the wall and getting the missing endings, we still weren’t able to get ending 14. I triple checked, and we definitely got them all (including the 3a/3b variations). The only potential discrepancy we didn’t follow up on was that we got the hole ending with nothing in our inventory, so we technically didn’t put anything in the hole. Of course it’s entirely possible that despite all my checking, we did, in fact, miss something obvious, but I figured I’d note this in case it was relevant. Oh, also when we clicked on the cake and selected ‘no’ for picking it up, the cake stayed on the screen while we were moving around until we clicked back and took the cake.
Great job with this one, really glad to have played it :)
had a great time playing this game with my friends and wow,,, really like funky chars and locations!! tho i also wanted to ask, was there any inspiration taken from the magnus archives? (I MEAN IT IN A NICEST WAY POSSIBLE PLS PLS) or maybe im just imagining things (;; still, thr game is amazing uwaagh you did a great job!!!!;;;; <3
This game was a delight! I really love the atmosphere and am a sucker for elevator-related horrors <33 Your character designs are *chef's kiss* I love themmm <333 Keep up the good work! I really love the game ^^
I really liked this game overall!! Loved the atmosphere and art
Just a question about ending 14: I'm pretty sure I did all the other endings (used a checklist to keep track), but after finishing the 'Escape' ending, a small cutscene played, credits rolled and the game went back to the title. I pressed on 'New Game' but instead of getting ending 14, all the game data was erased and I had to restart? I'm not sure if this was a bug or if I did miss an ending by accident which is why it reset ;;
I'm so glad you enjoyed the game!! And oh no!! Did it fully reset? Is the wall of the posters you collect for each endings still there with all your previous posters? If so, it means you missed something and didn't get every ending yet!
Thank you so much for that!! I just checked and the posters are all intact, so I definitely missed something so thats on me lol :,D Otherwise just wanted to say this game is really amazing and one of my all time favourite indies now ^^
When you restarted the game even after you saw the escape ending/credits- was the wall of posters that you collect for every ending/death still there? If so, it means you still missed something!
(This is Pri Karin, yet again I forgot to use my solo account to comment 😂)
This was a lot of fun!! I really loved the whole aesthetic and vibe of this game and the art, dialogue & music were amazing 😍❤️
The death endings were terrifying, particularly ending 8 😱
Also, I REALLY love the symbolism of the fear of a first interview translated into something absolutely horrifying!
SPOILERS AHEAD
Even when you manage to escape, after successfully completing the interview, it's still horror-inducing with how the MC basically has no other choice but to keep the job! 😭
I think my only critique is that, in order to get ending '???' you have to follow the guide suuuper closely and not make any mistakes (as in accidentally solving the floors before you get the bad ending) or you'll have to re-start all over again 🤔 which can get a bit frustrating. Though, if it was intentional I totally get it, cause it fits perfectly with the horror theme of Spooktober 🤣
But that's really the only thing. Other than that I absolutely loved this game to bits!! I'm really looking forward to your future games!! ❤️💕
Hi there!! For you to completely restart from scratch you need to delete and redownload/reextract the zip file! Otherwise the game will remember your choices and deaths even after you die or restart in-game and you need to go through everything!
Point and click escape rooms, my biggest weakness!! I'm glad to know most of the confusion I am feeling was intentional (although forgetting the controls didn't help me XP). Lovely and spooky art and an engaging story! :)
I don't know what I just played, it was so disturbing dang.
Couldn't have manage it without the solution tho thanks for putting it. (Note that I had weird problem with input like dial or the password thing, might because I am in an european computer in AZERTY?)
Anyway, I think I was saying that the game really stood out for the Spooktober VN Jam and I just had to check it out! Loved the menacing and comedic vibes, the writing and the art go great together. Really appreciate all the effort put into the CGs, too. Thanks for a fantastic time!
I just wanted to say this game is absolutely AMAZING!!! I loved every minute of it! it was spooky but also funny, and the characters were extremely charming with their interactions :))) I had so much fun playing!!
AT first I was extremelly frustred with the controls. I didnt think it was intuitive, even though they show at the begining. I find it weird at the begining how you just DIE out of nowhere and went to the main menu and just to continue on a new game, though after the 3rd death it finally got the fell of the game.
The narrative kind of messy BUT it was very interesting and the theme is amazing, a little bit gore but acceptable for general audience, the red button was the only one who got me a little bit jumpy.
I miss a screen to check the endings.
The visual is very appealing the vintage and the character design was suberb.
The ending was the best part, i don't know if the answers after the first question had any weight on the ending but i found it very enjoyable.
Hello, would like to request some help (possible spoilers)
----------------------
I'm stuck on getting the scissors from the doppelgangers, it seems like I'm dying no matter how many times I talk to the coworker doppelganger first. Is there a correct sequence of dialogue before the "Push" option comes up?
Also, for each tip in the guide that has you "restart" the game, do you have to do it in the restart immediately after, or can you do it later. For example, I called the phone number and then died in that run. Do I need to go straight to Room 6 after 1 restart to pick up the phone or can I die again that next run and pick it up later?
Alright! In order for your game to run as it should it needs to be able to autosave itself but for the mac version if you download it the wrong way the saving function doesn't work at all, ultimately fully resetting every time you die without remembering what you did past run!
I wrote it in the download instructions that when you download the zip file, you need to extract the zip file into a folder- and when you open the folder, drag the "game" file (only the game file not the entire folder) out from that folder and into your applications folder. Once you get the game file in the applications folder, try to open the game file there- if it doesn't open continue clicking until it does and it'll eventually let it run. If you did this the right way then your game'll be able to save and let the game run/progress normally! Try redownloading and follow those steps again? Hope this was helpful!!
i've done exactly the way you mentioned it but it doesn't work for me, as in, the 'game' application doesn't open no matter how many times i clicked it.
It just so happened that I ended up picking the meat floor... room first. Imagine how that felt XD
I actually liked the difficulty since it made everything felt more rewarding.
I don't know if it was just me though, but I think I encountered a bug during the cigarette scene where the screen freezes after talking to your companion? It fixes itself after you click 1 and 2 which plays the choice dialogue again.
hi there!! you can leave the point-and-click area by clicking on the green exit icon on your bottom right and when you're on the 3d elevator space you can use left or right arrow keys to look at other walls of the elevator!
Love it! The art, writing, and music are so charming and perfect for the aesthetic <3
Since there's no manual save, however, I do wish there was at least a way to skip or speed up text since going through each play-through to find different endings/solutions does get frustrating.

Despite my confusion with the controls at the beginning, I really liked the mystery and puzzles. The characters were really charming too (in their own way :D)! The retro-vibes and style of the characters made me feel nostalgic.💜
really loved that one! checked it out because of a tweet by the user kirvias.
the artstyle is insanely cool, charming and matches the game well. its very good aesthetically - i loved its portrayal of like... the picture of that high brow office job? and how its flashed out in 9th floor. great stuff!!
i think i had some trouble with getting the final ending, but that might have been intentional? i didnt get the final screen i think. no interactions were possible after entering the fire exit, just sounds of footsteps.
overall i just really loved it! a wonderful treat for the spooky season, ill recommend it to my friends! my favourite ending was the REAL one i think :DD
hi!! what do i do if my keyboard does not have a FN key ?
Hi there!! In that case the fn/look up and down function is totally optional so it won't be a problem when playing the game so you can not worry about it and proceed, sorry for the confusion/inconvenience!
thank you so much!!! :)) and no worries :) love the game so far :D
i really enjoyed this game! it was so much fun and i love point and click games, the art style, and the guide was super helpful since i got stuck sometimes :)) i would love to play through it again to get the secret ending, but in the mean time, keep up the good work <33

Thank you for letting me know! (And the typo of "Your" was on purpose!! Gives it a more uncanny/"something is off" kind of vibes :] )
Is this fixed?
Adding on to this for typo list, 1) after picking up the phone -> "deliver" 2) sparing the rat -> "peeks"
THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME KNOW I'LL UPDATE EM IN THE UPCOMING BUILD!!
this was such an amazing game! i absolutely love games that have multiple interpretations and i love the floor that had the doppelgangers in it, the banging was so eerie
wonder game, i recommend!!
this is such a good game, i love love love the art! did notice one typo though, ending 13 says that it's ending 12 in the game - amazing work though this is awesome
I got all end I think the fire exit will help them but I wait for them to walk 5 minutes it only emptiness how sad. I love when we can let mice live how cute. I will play your old games too.
this game just blew my mind holy fuck
I... I didn't survive very long :D

That is kind of genius then and I think I might just need to toughen up :D Will def give it some more runs.

Love love love this game! so creepy and funky.
Had some issues with the secret ending though,
I restarted the game after doing all of the endings and still have the poster wall but i cant figure out what i missed because i did all of them. would there be a way to record the secret ending or put up a photo of the wall so i can see what im missing? (I dont have the fn key so i can't look up in the 3d mode)
You don't need to look up, you can just press Z to interact with the wall.
Ah, I didn't explain myself properly. I meant I need a photo of the pixelated wall before you interact with it, as it has a picture of all the posters you can get, but once I interact with it I only see the posters that I already have and I'm trying to work out which one im missing since i was like 99% sure i got them all.
I think you're missing the poster for ending 14? It's bugged rn.

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you put your thoughts in this very well-written text!
The child room floor was really fun for me to compose, mixing the music box with some child SFX!
Really enjoyed this, I love time prison and office settings so getting both was a real treat (especially with how it highlights The Horror Of Working In An Office). A long time ago I watched Jim Henson’s The Cube and this really reminded me of the Strange And Uncanny Vibes in that movie.

Great job with this one, really glad to have played it :)
Really enjoyed this game! Great Atmosphere and lots of fun deaths.
had a great time playing this game with my friends and wow,,, really like funky chars and locations!!
tho i also wanted to ask, was there any inspiration taken from the magnus archives? (I MEAN IT IN A NICEST WAY POSSIBLE PLS PLS) or maybe im just imagining things (;;
still, thr game is amazing uwaagh you did a great job!!!!;;;; <3
This game was a delight! I really love the atmosphere and am a sucker for elevator-related horrors <33 Your character designs are *chef's kiss* I love themmm <333 Keep up the good work! I really love the game ^^
this game was so fun!! i love love love the art style and unique gameplay :3
I really liked this game overall!! Loved the atmosphere and art
Just a question about ending 14: I'm pretty sure I did all the other endings (used a checklist to keep track), but after finishing the 'Escape' ending, a small cutscene played, credits rolled and the game went back to the title.

Thank you so much for that!! I just checked and the posters are all intact, so I definitely missed something so thats on me lol :,D
Otherwise just wanted to say this game is really amazing and one of my all time favourite indies now ^^
i went through all the endings in one route and didnt get the secret route, did I do something wrong?
When you restarted the game even after you saw the escape ending/credits- was the wall of posters that you collect for every ending/death still there? If so, it means you still missed something!
(This is Pri Karin, yet again I forgot to use my solo account to comment 😂)
This was a lot of fun!! I really loved the whole aesthetic and vibe of this game and the art, dialogue & music were amazing 😍❤️
The death endings were terrifying, particularly ending 8 😱
Also, I REALLY love the symbolism of the fear of a first interview translated into something absolutely horrifying!
SPOILERS AHEAD
Even when you manage to escape, after successfully completing the interview, it's still horror-inducing with how the MC basically has no other choice but to keep the job! 😭
I think my only critique is that, in order to get ending '???' you have to follow the guide suuuper closely and not make any mistakes (as in accidentally solving the floors before you get the bad ending) or you'll have to re-start all over again 🤔 which can get a bit frustrating. Though, if it was intentional I totally get it, cause it fits perfectly with the horror theme of Spooktober 🤣
But that's really the only thing. Other than that I absolutely loved this game to bits!! I'm really looking forward to your future games!! ❤️💕
Is this game still playable without having to look up/down? My keyboard doesn't have an FN key ><
Oh no I'm sorry for the inconvenience!! The fn key function is totally optional so you don't have to worry! It's still playable!!
Oh phew thanks. I can't wait to play ^^
I wish this game could be playable in the browser </333
Hi! Question is there a way to restart? Without having to do the full ending and having to do all of that or do you have to go through everything?
Hi there!! For you to completely restart from scratch you need to delete and redownload/reextract the zip file! Otherwise the game will remember your choices and deaths even after you die or restart in-game and you need to go through everything!
I don't know what I just played, it was so disturbing dang.
Couldn't have manage it without the solution tho thanks for putting it. (Note that I had weird problem with input like dial or the password thing, might because I am in an european computer in AZERTY?)
(Whoops, posted from wrong account earlier.)
Anyway, I think I was saying that the game really stood out for the Spooktober VN Jam and I just had to check it out! Loved the menacing and comedic vibes, the writing and the art go great together. Really appreciate all the effort put into the CGs, too. Thanks for a fantastic time!
I just wanted to say this game is absolutely AMAZING!!! I loved every minute of it! it was spooky but also funny, and the characters were extremely charming with their interactions :))) I had so much fun playing!!
this game is so good?? I LOVE HOW ITS SUPER LIKE CONFUSING AND STUFF??? i wanna cosplay the characters so bad
SPOILERS at the comment----
AT first I was extremelly frustred with the controls. I didnt think it was intuitive, even though they show at the begining. I find it weird at the begining how you just DIE out of nowhere and went to the main menu and just to continue on a new game, though after the 3rd death it finally got the fell of the game.
The narrative kind of messy BUT it was very interesting and the theme is amazing, a little bit gore but acceptable for general audience, the red button was the only one who got me a little bit jumpy.
I miss a screen to check the endings.
The visual is very appealing the vintage and the character design was suberb.
The ending was the best part, i don't know if the answers after the first question had any weight on the ending but i found it very enjoyable.
Hello, would like to request some help (possible spoilers)
----------------------
I'm stuck on getting the scissors from the doppelgangers, it seems like I'm dying no matter how many times I talk to the coworker doppelganger first. Is there a correct sequence of dialogue before the "Push" option comes up?
Also, for each tip in the guide that has you "restart" the game, do you have to do it in the restart immediately after, or can you do it later. For example, I called the phone number and then died in that run. Do I need to go straight to Room 6 after 1 restart to pick up the phone or can I die again that next run and pick it up later?
Hello!! I'm so sorry to hear that you've been having problems! Are you playing on windows or mac?
Also you can pick it up whenever you like even after multiple restarts, you don't have to go to floor 6 straight away!
I am playing on mac. I haven't been able to do either the Cake restart or the Doppelganger Coworker restart... Thank you for the help
Alright! In order for your game to run as it should it needs to be able to autosave itself but for the mac version if you download it the wrong way the saving function doesn't work at all, ultimately fully resetting every time you die without remembering what you did past run!
I wrote it in the download instructions that when you download the zip file, you need to extract the zip file into a folder- and when you open the folder, drag the "game" file (only the game file not the entire folder) out from that folder and into your applications folder. Once you get the game file in the applications folder, try to open the game file there- if it doesn't open continue clicking until it does and it'll eventually let it run. If you did this the right way then your game'll be able to save and let the game run/progress normally! Try redownloading and follow those steps again? Hope this was helpful!!
Thank you! That worked. I forgot to put it in the Applications folder.
i've done exactly the way you mentioned it but it doesn't work for me, as in, the 'game' application doesn't open no matter how many times i clicked it.
I had fun playing this!
It just so happened that I ended up picking the meat floor... room first. Imagine how that felt XD
I actually liked the difficulty since it made everything felt more rewarding.
I don't know if it was just me though, but I think I encountered a bug during the cigarette scene where the screen freezes after talking to your companion? It fixes itself after you click 1 and 2 which plays the choice dialogue again.
An accurate depiction of office elevator conversation, down to the meat lockers and pools of nuclear radiation... 10/10 would interview again-!
Hi! Can someone help me gaining the lighter? I don't know how i can go to the west wall :(
hi there!! you can leave the point-and-click area by clicking on the green exit icon on your bottom right and when you're on the 3d elevator space you can use left or right arrow keys to look at other walls of the elevator!
Thank u so much! <3
Love it! The art, writing, and music are so charming and perfect for the aesthetic <3
Since there's no manual save, however, I do wish there was at least a way to skip or speed up text since going through each play-through to find different endings/solutions does get frustrating.
