https://store.steampowered.com/app/3640210/_Demo/ It’s been almost a week since the demo launched, and we’ve received a great deal of feedback. Thank you so much for your support and encouragement!We’ve carefully read and discussed every comment and suggestion. With this update, we’d also like to share our upcoming development direction.
Interview System Improvements
In future versions, we’ll improve the thank note interaction, hire/reject process, the interviewee call experience, and visual feedback animations. We’re also planning to add support tools to the UI, and are designing a secondary menu structure.
Better Tutorial
Rules for thank notes, game logic, and system objectives will be presented through more detailed tutorial guidance.
Story & Difficulty Expansion
The full version will introduce more chapters and levels. As interviewers are promoted, the structure of interviews will evolve. Interviewees will have more varied backgrounds and complex profiles. Some characters will return with follow-up storylines. We’ll also add difficulty settings so players can choose a pace that fits their preference.
Localization
Since English is not our native language, we welcome your feedback on translation errors or unnatural phrasing. Please report issues via Discord or the feedback form — we’ll continue improving localization quality. Thanks for your understanding and support!
Development Direction
Long-time followers may have noticed big changes from our early prototype to the current demo. Though "interviews" are the starting point, we see this project as a narrative-driven game set in a fictional world, not just a simulation. As an interviewer, you’ll also live a life after work — and face the realities of identity, systems, and choices.We hope the game provides moments of reflection, beyond its core mechanics.
*We’re glad to see so many people curious about the apartment window view—the scene was actually inspired by Hong Kong!
We’ll continue to share updates and plans through future development logs.Ongoing improvements to the demo will continue, feel free to try out the latest version anytime— and we’d love it if you could leave a review on the demo’s store page!
