Hire Me! changes
Play the whole game with your keyboard
Enter — advance the conversation and confirm a dialogue option
Space — finish writing the current line instantly
Up / Down — pick a dialogue option (the selected one is marked with ">")
Escape — pause menu
The mouse still works exactly as before, and it takes over the selection the moment you move it. The credits can now be skipped too.
Stan actually listens to what job you want
Tell him what you want to be and he'll check whether that's a job at all — if it isn't, expect a remark and another chance to answer.
Vague answers get interpreted instead of parroted back. "something with computers" becomes a real job title, while your original wording stays around as material against you.
He now asks why you want it, and remembers your answer for the rest of the interview.
A better ending
Your personality results feed back into the final roast again — how strongly you leaned on each axis, not just what you said during the interview.
Stan explains why you did or didn't get hired, trait by trait, instead of just delivering the verdict.
Writing
The English script has been proofread from top to bottom.
The Dutch translation has been rewritten rather than translated, with the accents it was missing and its wordplay restored.
The personality statements are shorter and stop circling back to the same detail.
Fixes
Rushing through dialogue with Enter could skip past an input field entirely, leaving you unable to type. Fixed.
A click landing on the exact frame an option block appeared could blindly pick an option. Fixed.
Typing only spaces no longer counts as an answer.
Enter no longer plays a confirmation sound on every single press.
The text cursor sat one space too far behind the last letter you typed.
Right-click to finish a line instantly now always works.
F12 doesn't skip to the end anymore; this one's for you again, SMACHead. ;)
