If you click the link, it will take you to itch.io page where you can download a .zip with an .exe :) just run the .exe!

Still really like this game, the sound and the graphics. Feels like the doom of the 5/7

This company is a chaotic mess but the challenge of managing employee and organizing last-minute meetings makes it exciting.

A very funny little game. For me I think the timer is unnecessary, and instead I wanted a bit more difficult puzzles. But the visuals and the music is good. Overall a good jam game. Well done.

Fun game! It's a nice challenge to figure out the best setting, and the little portraits and notes are really cool.

Seems really fun and clever, but after first level it is message about "fatal error" and I cant play next level.

Great interpretation of the theme - The music makes you feel much more rushed than you actually are, adding a great sense of tension to everything.

Honestly my only disappointment in this game is that I wished it went on for longer. Some more levels in a post-jam release would be neat!

Que interessante, tem algo bem original aqui e ao mesmo tempo consigo ver as influencias retro, parabens pelo resultado.

This was a lot of fun, everything came together really nicely! Looks good, sounds good, and even replayed levels to get all As. Any complaints I do have would just be nitpicking. Well done!

J'aime beaucoup la manière dont vous avez amorcé le thème en y ajoutant un côté plus moderne. Les graphismes rendent bien avec l'ambiance du jeu. Mécanique simple et efficace, bravo à l'équipe !

I enjoyed the music and sound. It all came together perfectly for the art/tone/atmosphere of the game. The speed of the tune increasing was great to make the sense of urgency work. Phones ringing as the music sped up was such a nice touch.

The gameplay and interface is pretty straight forward, but sometimes it felt weird trying to switch characters to different seats.

Wished the win state showed more cool artwork to express a good job well done (you're in line for a promotion) or how things will get worse (like demanding they get their favorite coffee) depending on what kind of ending tone you were aiming going for.

Very glad to check this one out. :)

Really funny and tricky game

A very fun interpretation of the theme! The employee details are a wonderful touch that give the characters flavor in addition to hints about their placement. The game looks and sounds great. I do wish there was a quit button specifically, but that's not much of an issue. A standout submission.

Great art! And the intense music helps build up the tension experience pretty well.
