I loved it! Actually played through five out of six storylines, loved the style, music and the creative and funny dialogues! I didn't manage to date the manager though. Tried giving her all letters every day, as well as pretty much every other item in the office, including Jeremy and the ASS tile... Any hints?

Also, I found a bug: If you deliver the cheesecake to the Manager, the game crashes

@c42 Glad you liked it! Thanks for the heads up as well, I hadn't thought about giving cheesecake to the door! As for the manager, she cares about you finishing your job before everything else. She's not likely to be happy if there's still mail left in the mail pile...

The artwork, music, and gameplay style were suited very much to my liking. Storyline was good as well. Very interesting and unique concept amongst all the games I've played so far in the game jam. Keep the great work up!

Dated cat lady, no regrets. The game is great, by the way.

I loved it ! The attention to details and the jokes are really funny, also the characters design are very nice and cute. The only thing is that it doesn't quite match the theme of the jam, still enjoyed every second of it ! :)

@revetoon Glad to hear it! We wanted to match the theme of the jam by having your character be stuck in a loop of working their menial job (you can deliver mail and sleep infinitely), then break that loop by forming a relationship with a coworker.

What a cute little game. I loved it, so adorable. I did all the endings. Best one is obviously with Photosentesia because I always wanted to become the spouse of a plant, Coco's ending is clause behind because anime girls.
The artwork was absolutely amazing, and really adorable, even for Thint, I guess. Cat lady and Coco's are so adorable !

Good job, keep up the good work ! :smile:

@harksa Thank you! We're really glad to hear you enjoyed the game! Who doesn't want to become the spouse of a plant, really?

Well, that was crazily fun! I like the option of six endings, everything from blowing the office up, to living in an anime afterlife, to getting food poisoning. Well done! This is one of my favorite games this jam!

I'm also going to note, you should put a note on the Ludum Dare or itch.io page warning younger players about the language.

@peace-of-cake-games Glad you liked it, that means a lot to hear! Having each ending be wildly different was a big goal of ours. That's a good point too, I'll definitely add a note.

Really nice game! I loved it. The graphics were great and charming, and the music was great too - it fit really well with the game. I really liked the characters, and the different tasks you had to do for them were simple, yet fun. I loved the humor throughout the game as well. Sadly I've only gotten to one of the endings so far, but I'd definitely like to go try for all of the other ones. The game's got so much content! I think the only issues I had are that the transition screen (the black screen that says what day it is) didn't cover the whole screen (don't really know if that was intentional or not, but to me it felt a little strange) and I kept getting stuck on walls (like, I'd hit the walls at certain spots and then all of the movement controls would stop working.) Other than that though, I really liked this game! Well done!

@eoshadows Glad that you enjoyed the game! Having a bunch of choices and content was a goal to keep things interesting, so it's great to hear it worked out! Those are definitely both bugs though, thanks for letting us know. We're going to be posting an improved version of the game sometime in the nearby future to fix all the weird stuff like that. Thanks for the feedback!

Oh man this looks like a fun game, I’d play it if it was on Mac or WebGL but since we’re near the end of rating that might not be likely :/ I hope you get to 20 ratings !

All the details in this game are really cool; I particularly liked the jokes on the whiteboard in the back. I had some trouble figuring out how to advance with anything other than the manager and the furnace, though that might just be me missing obvious clues there. The game is also lacking sound besides the music; a bit of audio feedback could have been nice. And a good explosion sound for when you blow up the office. The music itself fit the game really well though; I liked the sax.

@snowinn Dang, I'm not sure if we'll be able to get a WebGL version up or not before ratings close, but thank you for the support regardless!

@ectucker1 Glad you enjoyed it! You have to deliver the mail to a coworker, then talk to them again to receive a relationship-related task for the day. SFX is definitely planned for a future update to the game. And we'll pass that along to our music maestro! Thanks for the feedback!

Had good fun! Completed all the storylines, they are very funny. Also, I felt sad for HR when trying to be friends with Abby xD

@pluisjen Poor H.R.! (Though, after playing his route, maybe it's for the best...) Glad you enjoyed!

this was a delightful little experience. the humor was great, so many little touches everywhere, like the jokes on the white board. i love all the dialogue, especially the intern losing her... object. i got the receptionist ending, how delightfully gruesome!

@sakura-magika Glad you hear you enjoyed the game! Poor H.R., but it was for the greater good. Mr. Mittens needs his nutrition.

What a nice casual game!

Actually pretty surprised someone made a dating sim in LD heh. It was pretty fun, the dialogue was funny! Artwork was also great and the music set the right mood! The game's packed with a lot of content, nice. I advanced very slowly in the game but at least I got lot to experience!

Really nice job!

Brainloaf Studioauthor24 Oct 2020, 20:54
@fingamer Glad you liked the game! We wanted to do something different from what we were used to, and go with something more dialogue heavy. It's great to hear that it worked out! Thanks for playing!

I fed my rat coworker to my other coworker's cats. We then became married. 10/10 would play again

Please, please continue working on this and other great games! And let me know if you do expand this! I hope to see you in LD48!

(I'm glad my last-minute "save this!" posts got this to 20!)

Brainloaf Studioauthor28 Oct 2020, 03:50
@peace-of-cake-games Yeah, we definitely will be expanding on the game a bit! We're working on adding voice acting, polishing up some assets, adding sfx, + a few other small things. We plan on participating in LD48 for sure. Hope the jam went well for you, we'll definitely see you in the next one!

Good afternoon! Thanks a lot for uploading such an informative post, it’s really useful! By the way, I’m willing to say that for some time I was being alone because I had no idea of how to meet with pope. However, once I accidentally found this source https://blackdatingsites.net/benaughty-review/ that has significantly helped me to solve this issue. Now I’m in strong relationships, so if you’re also looking for someone, just open the link and use this cool site too!
