Similar to reigns, an interesting game.

Really cool game! The polish is amazing. I like how there is a wide diversity of different messages, instead of just 5 that get looped. Also - I like the Humor!

Thanks y'all! I think there are 120 different pieces of dialogue in the game... We basically spent our weekend writing :)

Very entertaining, you guys did an impressive job of generating so much funny content. Great job of combining generated stuff with handwritten stuff

This "Quack" looks familiar. Hehe.
Great job on the game! Now that I'm writing this, I don't recall hearing any audio from it. Other than that, this is amazingly well polished!

How did "meatless mondays" cost me 200K? Need to write an app to track that.

Great work, and painfully familiar! I like the minimal UI design of Quack way better than its competitor.

Nice game, although I wonder how an app to take water intake can cost so much when a weekend blowout was free. @mrspeaker I'm guess the cost of 'meatless Mondays' was bribing the local steakhouse not to tell anyone about all the back-door deliveries.

You really did a great job creating content, there is a lot of dialogue! I would recommend this to people who wants to have a laugh while relaxing.

Nice and simple game. Nice polish on the graphics. GJ!

well done! It's nice that you could see what and whom a decision would affect, I would have liked knowing how much some decisions would have costed me. anyhow great work!

Great polish and hilarious writing that was a little too real! Played for a bunch of playthroughs and had different experiences every time! Loved "Quack"

"May our future robot overlord have mercy on your pitiful mind." (...) "I pay them to type, not to wipe!" (...) " doaa;nt theink your pelnmployees are xmajture enoughhh to-" (...) "We were recently informed that our employees are people too!"

Love the writing, seriously. You've outdone yourself on the dialogues and giving everyone a personality!

My record so far was 35 quarters. Oh, and the other kind of record was -300k. :D
