Players appreciate the game's fun premise and engaging core loop, with praise for its graphics, sound design, and entertaining boss dialogue. However, common complaints center on bugs that disrupt gameplay—including a finicky scanner, unresponsive metal detector, and save system issues—along with concerns that the game feels incomplete, with underutilized mechanics and limited replay value for its short 20-30 minute runtime.
For everyone who has given this a Thumbs Down. Please advise this: This game was for a University Project between a friend of mine and a group of people, this was in no way going to be published to the Steam Store and they never thought to until I gave him the idea to There will be bugs, there will be discrepancies. DO NOT EXPECT IT TO BE PERFECT This was made in the span of 8 weeks and for those 8 weeks it is very good, yes there are bugs and that's understandable since this was made by University Students, NOT INDUSTRY. Thank you for Reading this My opinion on the game? I love it6 found this helpful
I gotta say no. This is another game in the style of "Papers Please" and similar. The core gameplay loop is... fine. But there's no substance to it whatsoever. As what amounts to a tech demo, which another review says it basically was, it's all right, but as a game it falls short. The "trolls" showed up a grand total of a single time in my entire playthrough. The game tells you about criteria and then doesn't use them until the next day. For example the packaging info isn't used until day 2, and the metal detector not until day... 4 I think? All of your upgrades are done in the first 3 days. The scanner upgrade does not update the audio, so it still plays the normal length audio. The scanner is also finicky and doesnt scan packages about 1/3 of the time. For the metal detector, you have to pull down the chute, which is not mentioned at all. For the fragile packages, it's nearly impossible to avoid bumping them; but this doesn't matter because they're pretty much impossible to accidentally break, and there is no difference at all between damaged and whole packages.1 found this helpful
The game has a good premise and Idea, it's quite fun to play, but the bugs really mess up the gameplay. I played up to day 5 and couldn't complete it because of the bugs. Hope this gets more patch updates.1 found this helpful

It's a package sorting game where you identify discrepancies and decide whether to send the package or incinerate it because a troll is inside. You work for 5 days where you have to sort additional boxes and/or do more complicated analysis each day. Some of the box movement is a bit clumsy and I couldn't get a package to go on the metal detector in one day, necessitating a restart of that day. It takes about 20-30 minutes to beat and has some mildly amusing dialogue from your boss each shift. Certainly not a life-changing experience, but it's alright.
Az amazing casual game, pretty graphics and cool sound desing, I definietly recommend it! Some small things that needs improvement in my opinion: - saving system: I would like to have access to my saved files and to be able to load it from there. I accidentally clicked on "new game" and my previous save were lost, the old one merged with the new one in a weird buggy way. - changing difficulty level: sometimes the time limit was too short for me, I would like to have an easier difficulty (if this is already in the game, then I just couldn't find it, sorry)
