It's your first day on the job as a Title Loan Agent. You must get past the probationary period which involves successfully accepting or denying 10 applications.
Gameplay is inspired by games like Papers, Please.
This is awesome! I loved Papers, Please so I was right at home with the mechanic you designed. My only complaint is that it was a bit to easy. It would be better with more pressing time constraints or more things possibly going wrong. Still, this is a great for the scope of Ludum Dare.
Graphics were simple but portrayed the scene well. Audio suited well also. And "Iam Nekkid" got me laughing for quite a while. Well done!
Very funny little game. Nice work! It would have been nice if there was some other way to lose, like a time constraint, but other than that it was very good!
Got the discount at the end, I would play again if text would be skippable? Other than that, great job! Wasted a warning by not realizing it's year 2010 :)
I liked the mood! The audio fit the game very well, it's less nervous than paper please because there is no timer here, but the game do the job. The naked guy is fun :) Great submission!
I really like the aesthetics of this game. Definitely has a Papers, Please vibe going on, which isn't a bad thing. Nice work, although I personally could have done without the final dialog exchange.
Very good game , I must agree with a few other people , it reminds me of papers please ( a game that i think is awesome )

I can definitely see the Papers, Please! influence, but the game itself is still really good. The fonts are great, the art is consistent and the choice if colors is good too.
This game need some negative consequences other than warnings from your boss. When reviewing applications after about the 5th one, the process seems more tedious than rewarding. Putting some form of conflict such as a timer or something of the sort would have been more rewarding. Honestly though this is one of the best LD jam games I have played so far and I have played a lot. GREAT WORK!
The game is a humorous take on the theme. I definitely wish there was a time constraint to make its a bit more challenging. But otherwise, this is great!
Oh my gosh! I love this so much. In a way it's an even better theme than Papers, Please! There are so many ways this could be developed further (and altered to be less like Papers, Please), e.g. managing the title loan place throughout the year. Maybe the only game so far where I really did feel like a monster!
Great game, only sticking point was the 250/wk person, where the rules say must have monthly income "greater than" 1000/month, which was a little ambiguous. But that's really a nit pick, everything else was well put-together. Perhaps a skip button during the "cut scenes" with the interest and fees, but all in all a great game.
Definitely reminiscent of Papers, Please. I liked the audio a lot - it really created a paper-pusher feeling. And the "you owe us $way_more_than_you_thought in 84 months" thing got the message across well.
I felt like there probably should have been a time limit where the person would get impatient and leave or you have until 5pm to process everything, or something to give a sense of difficulty. As it is, there was no reason for me not to be very thorough, which made it feel too easy.
I really really liked it – only found the end a bit meh. I find you insist a bit too much on linking to the theme when it could benefit from being implicit!
Fun game. A lot like Papers Please, that might be a downside. A bit of change would have been cool. The mood is great, especially the audio. The ending is good but obvious. An alternative ending would have been a plus.
Nicely made game, certainly pushed the same paperwork buttons as Papers, Please. Not sure Hugh G. Rection was really necessary, but there you go. A bit heavy handed with the moralizing too: I didn't really identify with the character's whining about the job.
It is amazing how even bureaucracy becomes fun in a game. Games are that powerful. I can easily see the parallel in between this and papers please, and it is a welcome prospect. The game feels so complete it is hard to believe it is to be a Ludum Dare entry, feels like a complete game that took weeks to be created frankly.
I really don't feel like a monster though. I mean sure I ask absurd taxes and lock desperate people in dire need for money on 84 month tortures due to absurdly high taxes, yes. However, truth be told I am actually a lowly victim of a financial system trying to also make a living, the real monsters are those that make the economic turns that impactful on the working populace without giving any support or letting their society crumble due to personal ideological beliefs or plain old corruption. Not me. But still fun game!
A very fun game. I got bored so started accepting everybody and then we had a run in with Mr Hugh... Overall really good game, clearly inspired by someone with a similar ideology and well executed!
Funny, awesome game. I included it in part 18 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/U5AMORGkiRk
Amazing clone, I love how the game works, it's quite fun and it made me feel like total douchebags most part of the game. 5 out of 5 and I'll love to see this as full game
Loved the keyboard and ringing sounds, very nice sound design. The "PC" is also a really nice touch! This was a really together game. I just have one problem...
THE HANDBOOK SAID MUST HAVE INCOME __GREATER THAN__ $1000 BUT ROY BLANKENSHIP ONLY MAKES $250/WEEK ASSUMING 4 WEEKS/MONTH THAT'S NOT LEGIT!!! I DEMAND YOU REVOKE THIS WARNING!!!
This game is definitely the cream of the crop, BTW.
Nice take on the theme. It was a pretty fun reinterpretation of "Papers Please". Very well executed, but it might be laking some kind of reward for completing all the task fast.

Spoiler:
I think the remorse in the ending hurts the theming. Too much redemption for the player character. :D Still very well done.
i think you really picked a great sample to build your idea on. i enjoyed the game a lot!
Iam Nekid? Hugh G Rection? I am done.
Full marks for this game :D please do publish it as a complete game!!!
I should have given IamNekkid his 1mil.
Also, great audio.
Great work
this made it more boring too, sadly.
that said i think that this style of gameplay should be done more because i think maybe are more interesting mechanics along those lines.
And nice ending.
Gameplay was a bit bland and easy, but it made up for it in story.

P.S.: Glory Arstotzka!
But great job otherwise!

Well done!
The audio was spot-on, well done.
Also I like the idea a lot!

Great job, the audio really pulls it all together here :)

PS: We have fixed our game, if you want to see it again. ^^
Thank you.
