It look like a small stanley parable !Yours is also a good parody of society ! Good job.

Actually kinda fun and addicting... Fits the theme well.

I also very much felt a stanley parable vibe! I feel like you could do a lot of interesting things with the concept. I really wanted to get behind the red door. I also liked that the guy next to me would always die at the end of the day!

Interesting execution of the them and social commentary, its well put together. The context of this unfortunately hits a little too close to home.

Linux build works for me, although there seems to be a bug where mouse clicks don't always apply to where the target dot is located. Entering the menu with Esc and resuming the game gets it back on track, but has to be done again each day.

I agree with others, the coworkers dying in your peripheral vision really helps sell the setting.

Actually really like it! As everyone has already said - nice "Stanley Parable" vibe :)
