Piecework Mode and Customisable Controls

This update introduces Piecework Mode, which will become available when starting a new game after reaching any ending once. In Piecework Mode, each workday ends after you interview 10 candidates, making it ideal for players who would like to progress through the game more quickly.

A friendly reminder: Piecework Mode has higher difficulty due to limitations on salary and subsidy. It may cause you to miss certain referral characters, which could leave your Interviewer in a tighter financial position.

We’ve also added customisable controls, which can be adjusted at any time from the Settings menu. Please note that shortcuts tied to purchasable in-game features will only become available after the corresponding feature has been purchased.
