I played this game for 7 minutes and I felt like it was a life time, it would have been better to stare at my ceiling for 1 hour instead.

I like the game. I haven't finished it because I've run into a bug where you can clip through a wall and fall through the level - after which you'll need to close the game and restart it. That being said, the puzzles themselves are entertaining. You'll guide them around the block, lure them with bottles, and stop UFOs that fly around and try to abduct the dudes. There are different ways to solve each puzzle at times, where you can focus on using barriers or really try to use the bottles to lure them to where you want them to go. Things that could improve: Audio - there's just not much in it. You'll hear the Salarymen speak when successfully reaching their destination, bottles make noise, the crosswalk sounds cool, and occasionally there are some sound effects from the buildings. Level Select! I hope that is something that gets added at some point. Currently you'll have to start over from scratch every time you play, which makes it problematic when you experience bugs or life gets in the way.

"Salaryman RESCUE!" is a weird and badly made VR tech demo where you need to keep a bunch of staggering Japanese businessdrunks through a cityscape obstacle course... it doesn't make a lot of sense, it's badly made, low quality low poly assets, janky gameplay... it's unclear if this was put on Steam in the hopes of going viral or if the developer thought people would actually want a product like this. The original pricing is definitely an attempt at humour. All you do here is wave your arms around a bit to lure the drunks or throw stuff to clear obstacles for the lemmings/businessmen/whatever as they stumble wherever they are going. Reminds me of a joke, I live close to the pub, it just takes me 5 minutes to walk there but half an hour to get home. The difference is staggering. The game is really simple and unambitious in terms of implementation, more of a tech demo or one of those cases where an amateur developer spends $100 to publish something on Steam Direct to see if it's possible. Yes, obviously it's possible. A proof of concept, tech demo, or something that's less than a little blip on the radar isn't offering anything truly valuable to gamers. In terms of visuals,…
