The Office Type

[b]TLDR: This game is unfinished. The characters have great potential, but it really doesn't feel like I'm doing anything with the connections I'm making. The core gameplay feels repetitive, but not in a way that provides much replay value. Definitely not worth the price in the state it's in, and probably not even worth it on sale. [/b] [i]slight addendum: I do feel willing to try again if there are significant updates, but I still feel like the actual gameplay is an issue that can't be fixed fundamentally without just making a new game entirely.[/i] I'm reviewing this purely as the game that I played to a complete (single) playthrough, as I do notice many are writing about their experiences as a kickstarter backer. I knew of this project when it was announced, never pledged to it and only recently saw it appear again, but honestly for the time it spent in development, how is [i]this[/i] the final product? It's a VN, with no skip or auto-forward options. Characters are missing expres...

I had great hopes for this game after enjoying Dream Daddy. I'm massively disappointed. The game is bugged, I'm stuck in the park with zero days to go and the only way out was to exit through task manager. The characters are great but I'm not sure that there is enough to do. The scenery is attractive, but even the changes in venue become samey after awhile. Clicking through the same puzzle every day became a grind, but you can skip it. Dream Daddy had a lovely relationship between the father and daughter, I missed that aspect. I feel that there is just not enough character development, or story to justify the price of this game as it stands.

I've only had time to play for a few hours, but I've been enjoying the game so far! It seems like most of the negative attention it's getting is coming from Kickstarter backers who aren't giving it much of a chance because they're angry about how long the game took to come out and for the keys to get sent out. A review is meant to be about the game itself, though, so I wanted to balance it out with some positivity. On the negative side, the game does still need some work. Certain characters are missing some functionality, and there are a few bugs here and there. These are acknowledged in the game description, and patches are planned. It came out literally a day ago, it's not unusual these days for day one to be a bit rough around the edges. I'm more than willing to give the team some time to iron out the kinks. The bugs are the only issue I've had so far. On the positive side, the game is very entertaining. I find the character art charming, and it's nice that there's an equal gend...

TLDR: PLAY THE DEMO F I R S T BEFORE YOU CONSIDER BUYING THIS GAME I came across the announcement for this game on Twitter and was excited to play a game that was likened unto Date Everything. My friend and I started playing it and immediately noticed that the Main Character (Intern) that you play as is extremely difficult to read. We originally attributed that to the type face of the text and pushed forward, but we soon realized that the MC/Narrator is hard to relate to. Their dialogue felt detached and soulless, there was no motivation for the MC to pursue anyone and the answer text didn't have a clear "freedom of choice". There was always a distinct "No" but never a "Yes", very odd choice to have in a dating sim. Especially since you don't get an identity outside of being "an Intern from Sales". There is no opportunity to project yourself onto the character. For Example: Benjamin asks if the Intern likes winter and there was no choice that my friend and I agreed with. We love wint...

Some animations seem to work only sometimes or at least only for some characters. First this game was really interesting and fun but in fact that it's unfinished. all so almost got to last days...Got a bug that I can't get past...I'm gonna wait on it and if and when fast forward becomes a thing I'll re-download this and try again. Can't recommend this game right now.

So I really enjoy dating games, the main over arching story of the companies isn't really something i pay attention to currently but the characters (of the 3 i'm talking too so far) are really in depth.. i haven't even gotten to two full hearts with any of them and i've already gotten almost 6 hours so their seems to be a lot of content, besides the amazing art and characters the match game (usually something I don't really enjoy) is actually a step up from most match 3 games making it more engaging than normal, (I WILL PREFACE THIS.) it is quite bugged, not game breaking for the most part but a lot of character audio and facial expressions for locations are not working (at least for the 4 i've talked too, but they have already fixed benjamin) I'd reccomend it on sale until it's fixed but otherwise I don't have any issues!

I had this on my wishlist before the game was released and sadly I have to say it wasn't what I, personally, imagined. Positively speaking, the concept of making object supply gijinka and the variety of character designs are absolutely lovely. Especially in the art style they've been drawn in. Not only do they seem to have well established backgrounds but with the variety of objects the game offers, there is also a wide variety of personalities. I truly do appreciate that the game isn't just a visual novel either but has a matching game feature reminiscent of Hunie Pop's. On the other hand, the perspective in the background art can feel sort of off at times and I didn't enjoy the execution of the matching game. Especially not the fact that the sticky notes are in boxes you need to move (which makes it feel more cluttered and that you're not actually moving the sticky notes themselves to match) and that there is no feature telling you how many x in a row offers how many points to fill...

bought this game because it was on sale and seemed similar to another game i'm interested in, I have only played one day so for now i cant truly say if i recommend this or not yet i have to chose one, the story seems a bit... weird. Its there but its not a story that will draw you in from the beginning, in fact i've struggled to get into it. the art is cute so far and i do like that you can chose the characters without seeing them if that's what you want by choosing the supplies blindly or you can view the characters and chose by appearance and gender, each supply has an option for male, female and non binary it seems so far. I have not explored the options too much as again the story is struggling to hold me but im hoping its cute enough or funny enough once i get past the beginning. So far it is definitely a on sale type of buy (which is how i bought it but i should have held off til it was cheaper) Maybe something someone can play if their in between in depth romance games. Kinda li...
