Greatest idea for a introvert horror game now....you have to socially interact with others like at a party or event like this....but instead of selecting dialog options you have to actually verbally speak them out from the options of things to say. And all during this time its with groups of people already talking to each other and the game makes you need to join the conversation. If you don't get enough social interaction points you get a game over.

Trying to get a job is one of the scariest scenarios pretty much everyone will encounter in their lives.

God, this is just, Social Anxiety the game. Half of the prompts you went through felt a little too real to me, ‘cause I struggle with social anxiety. This game hit the nail directly on the head, and is a perfect theme for a horror game. I like psychological aspects being explored in horror games, without the protagonist being mentally unstable, and slowly driving themself deeper into insanity and becoming the monster.

Socializing, truly the most terrifying thing

I feel like I learned more about Corpsepile than I did networking through this. Nice to have this if only so that you've covered all of their games now.

I wish socializing in real life had multiple choice options like this it would make it so much easier to socialize.

This hit too hard after I had a super awkward job interview today.

Now this is true horror. Also, the beginning of the ending, with the kinda soft voice or something like that, reminded me of that video, the "I feel fantastic" robot girl singing. Good times. EDIT: Went to watch the video of the robot girl again, since I remembered it, and would you look at that, she got a VEVO now. lol.

I had always struggled to be social, especially in places I never been before, filled of people I did not know befofe. It legit takes me a few minutes to muster my bravery to just say hi, let alone continue a conversation

1:10 god DAMN . those vector mesh models have no business being that caked up

This was hysterical. Man, I loved it. Was cracking me up 😂 P.S. Manly, I am so glad you know the real value of a dollar. $700 is such a low price for that DLC, that it's almost criminal to NOT buy it. Most KZreadrs that become rich influencers waste so many money on things that really matter. Not you though. You know what's important. 😉

"Horror Game Where You Must Socialize..." *I'm gonna stop you right there Manly*

I made the mistake of being a business major, and I can confirm: this is a completely accurate to networking events in real life.

God damn, this is legit. Networking is the biggest nightmare of them all.

Really loved this one! The humor and remarks from everyone at the networking events were so on point! Had me cracking up.

this game hit a little too close to home based on the description alone

I love how you can open the phone and interact with things in the in game universe, but also your game settings all in one place.

I spent the whole time wondering what the horror element was throughout the video but the ending made me realize you're stuck in a pyramid scheme... truly horrifying! That ending was pretty hilarious by the way, the voice reminded me of Yellow Face from BFDI (which fits because in case you aren't familiar, he also makes ads for silly products) :P

Omg finally a horror game for me. I'm terrified of getting a job for this very reason but I have no choice and I'm looking for a job now. It's giving me so much stress though. And all the jobs I've applied to don't get back to me.

the last part had me laughing, caught me off guard

_The opposite of networking is not working_ Someone said that.... it's probably true in certain professions anyway. This corporate shindig was very representative of many conventions. It's never about the event - it's all about those after-parties. The more exclusive, the better. The game was hilarious and sad at the same time.

Jesus, I would hate to be in this guy's shoes. Networking for job position is hellish enough, trying to do that WHILE being judged by other people who's also in the room is even more hellish and agonizing for any human to went thru
