It might be on the nose, but I've definitely had jobs that felt like this sort of endless experience. When every shift feels the same, where you're too tired to do anything after work so there's no true rest before you're right back into it as the days blur. They did a good job of portraying that tedium, the endless grind. Loved the ending, I'm glad it went out on an uplifting angle instead of just leaving you with that sense of defeat.

Sadly, that "commit yourself to work" was relatable. "this job takes priority in your life" is a real thing when you get hired, at some places.

Ugh I've worked a few places that pulled the "this job must be priority" and it left such a sour taste in my mouth that I would leave them after having enough experience to put it to use elsewhere. It's so nasty bc that usually means that they are quick to say no when you want or need off (unless you're dying) or they call you every damn day to stay later or give up your off day.

Spain, specially Catalonia, had many of those communities Manly mentioned in his post game commentary. They were called "Industrial colonies" and it was exactly as he said: they lived in towns where they worked too, because the factory was there and there was no mode of transport. so when they got paid they went to the grocery store, or the liquor store, or went to the cafe, or went to buy the newspaper... but thing is, all those shops were owned by the owner of the factory because the entire colony was made to maximize profits. so they got paid just to pay it all back to their employer, which meant they'd never be able to leave the colony. it's... shocking that these were functioning not that long ago.

Some company towns in the US back in the day didn't even pay you in money, but rather in vouchers that could only be redeemed at the stores owned by the company, so you couldn't even save some extra money to pay to get out of the town because you wouldn't have any money to pay with for anything outside of town like food and housing, let alone transportation out of town.

As someone who was recently laid off, and then threatened with eviction immediately afterward, this was one of the realest and most accurate depictions of corporate America I've seen in a video game in recent memory. (Edit/Spoiler:) The ending was super cathartic though. This actually went from a feel-bad to a feel-good experience, that's wild.

The first time really did make me panic, but eventually it did just become a dull hum of navigating whatever scam they threw at me this time. The blame and alarms just became part of the routine. The game really hit the nail on the head with this one on how predatory these kinds of people and companies can be.

I also hear voices in my head, including one that's kind of manly, kind of badass, and kind of a hero. I have the feeling the creator of this game is stalking me.

"Sometimes the stressors of daily life feel like a game, and sometimes the stressors in games can feel like daily life"

Accurate Except for the eating and sleeping part, that’s too expensive for me

It was on the nose, but... Oh my God. Oh my God, it hit. It hit me so hard because it understands what it feels like to be trapped in this sort of situation. I only recently made it out of a company like that, one that made work as difficult as possible and demanded so, so much time and energy. That kind of misery genuinely makes you wish you were dead... This game could have easily allowed it to end with you losing your arm but I respect it giving you hope in the end. Resistance.

horror about "work life balance". something extremely relatable as most full time jobs basically leave just enough energy for you to want to relax all weekend, and nothing else.

When even one week is too unbearable. I feel for the protag. It’s easy to get trapped in jobs where every day is just suffering and the only thing that you’re there for is money anyway, even though you barely manage to get by. And with the screen and being forced to lie because if you’re too honest and kind to cheat the system, the system will take advantage of that and cheat you. Forcing you to lie and making you already more miserable than you already are by making you even more trapped.

I like that this game isnt something that you can expect, most games have these so called mysterious endings where the main character gets eaten or some shit like that, but this game makes you feel like a side character, you arent important, you just work, till you got fed up and gave a middle finger to the system.

I know, such a waste to only be able to install the handle in one direction. It's not that the door handle HAS to be pushed upward to open, but that it opens whether it's moved down OR up. This means you can move the handle from your left hand to your right hand by simply turning the entire assembly upside down, or open the door by pushing the handle up with your knee if your hands are full. Everyone go try it, you'll find that most door handles work in both directions!

"Hey guys, the serfs are making horror games where the monster is making them work to pay the monster ... Are we the baddies?" - Some Real Estate Firm manager somehwhere when they gain a speck of self respect.

I feel like the big mouth itself, and you feeding it, potentially symbolizes the greed of the company youre basically forced into when it comes to making ends meet by just trying to make rent alone (or even just a car payment these days); not including the food you have to consume.. hense why the fridge would be empty near the end.. and sacrificing sleep all to "make a dime while boss makes a dollar". Sacrificing your entire life to make money for someone who really has no need of it. The stress of it all will start to weigh down and everyday makes you think "does it even matter? Why am i doing this?", and in some cases ultimately leads to the "escape" of s*icide.
