Cuando hablamos de terror solemos pensar en lo sobrenatural, craso error, porque ¿qué hay más terrorífico que el trabajo o la economía?
La narrativa es excelente y la metáfora central funciona muy bien como sublimación de fenómenos que ya de partida son a su vez sublimaciones o abstracciones del trabajo hecho por humanos con todas sus necesidades y limitaciones particulares. A la "productividad" le da igual que el trabajo requiera cuidado, tiempo, experiencia, etc.., ahí radica el terror que también sabe explotar esta obra.
Me recordó a uno de los capítulos del Doctor Who más político, pero eliminando al doctor y por tanto, cualquier posibilidad de redención. Muy recomendable
Impresionante además que se haya escrito en 4 horas!
This made me feel ill 10/10
Genuinely started feeling stressed out at the thought of having to do more and more work with no training and everyone expected me to do a top tier job. 11/10 writing
This is a great game! I love horror like this and the atmosphere is great. Simple, but chilling.

This is truly horror. When the first co-worker vanished I felt a creeping sense of dread that only got more intense with time.
I love the slow descent to madness that the player (aka I) feels/felt when playing this. Its honestly awesome, short and sweet. The concept is simple but effective. Love it!
Thanks for playing! I'm glad the slow descent to madness feeling comes through even in a game this short.
very traumatizing but fun
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it (sort of)!
