Ratings and reviews

The game is pretty neat. I really like the concept and enjoy playing. However, some of the clickable choices either extend past the screen space or get placed behind the menu bar on the bottom, making it difficult, if not impossible, to select. Also, the game crashes... a LOT. I'm lucky if I get through a couple story days before the app suddenly closes. So, even if I save every few minutes, I still end up having to repeat a lot of stuff. If those things get fixed, I'll give a much higher score.

Love it. This is a very original take, im not developer per se (only tester) but the experience this game flashes is very true to the real life scenarios that can happen in IT. The only problem I encountered was the screen ratio not being to scale with my phone (quite ordinary Samsung model). Therefore things like listening to music for relax would soft-lock me, as also longer questions.

The idea of this game is so interesting and unique. I am quite ahead of a few months in my own coding journey and I have always wondered what it feels like to work as a developer. I am looking forward to reaching that part of the game. But please fix the saving game feature in the pc version cause it doesn't work and lots of errors. And I hope there was actual coding practice included in the game. Thanks!
