About Thank You For Your Application
Thank You for Your Application is a work simulation game themed around job interviews. Players take on the role of an interviewer at the largest company in Aeropolis City, reviewing applicants’ resumes and documents according to strict and constantly changing hiring requirements, before making decisions that may alter the course of other people’s lives.Throughout the game, players will encounter a wide range of applicants, absurd corporate systems, ever-changing policy demands, and the company’s dark secrets gradually coming to light. Against a backdrop of dark humour and corporate drudgery, players must make choice after choice in their everyday working life.
- Decide the fate of job applicants: As an interviewer, will you side with capital and the rules, or give workers the green light?
- Exercise your tiny slice of corporate power: Check application documents, raise questions, make judgements — and even shock applicants with electricity.
- A bleak apartment life after work: Pay your bills, browse forums, buy daily necessities, and try to keep your mental state intact.
- Multiple-ending narrative: Exploring themes such as workplace discipline, the shame of unemployment, efficiency-first thinking and discrimination against outsiders, your choices will shape the direction of the story.
Screen candidates’ resumes and documents according to the company’s daily hiring requirements, then decide whether to accept or eliminate them.
- Check their internship certificates. We want graduates with experience.
- Check their Psychological Evaluation Report. We want employees with a stable state of mind.
- Check their graduation certificate. We want students from top universities.
- Remember to pay your rent on time, lest you become a homeless illegal overstayer.
- Remember to keep your mental state in check. The company has no need for employees who break down.
- When recruitment becomes pretend recruitment, when pretend recruitment becomes redundancy, and when redundancy finally reaches you — where are workers supposed to go?

Tries to be Papers Please but is far too complicated. Story is hard to keep track of and mechanics have abnormal flow.
It's fun, a total Papers Please clone, and honestly, not as good, but it hits the core concepts so you'll like thiis if you're into the genre. Repurcussions do need to hit a bit harder and the oppression of being a company man more felt though. There is at least 2 or 3 playthroughs worth of options and content, so the value for money isn't bad, especially if you get it on a sale (which is like every second day on here lol). 8/10
To live is to work.
This game is pretty good. It has unique dialogs, unique story basically everythings unique and you can do many things in it. The music was tbh one of the best lo-fi ive heard. If you like pixelated games that have are cozy but have interesting story this might be worth it to try.
I beat the game today and overall I absolutely loved it. I loved papers please so this was right up my alley. Currently going for all the different endings and achievements but the game deserves all the support it can. It's not for everyone and the gameplay loop is extremely repetitive but I find it fun and the lore is really interesting so I'll leave it at this: if you liked papers please BUY IT YOU WILL NOT REGRET. It's a pretty short game and you could honestly finish it in a single sitting but despite that I have that sad feeling you get when finishing a game you liked which is honestly crazy I didn't think I'd get that from a game I spent 8 hours playing but all the more credit to how the game was done! I'll definitely have my eye out for any potential expansions cause I am really curious to see more of how the world develops after the game ends. Also a nice little bonus, the music is surprisingly well done!
Was surprised by the playtime by the time I got through my first playthrough, felt like I was playing it for longer somehow. Liked the vibes, the undertone of the story. I imagine one could blaze through this and not get anything out of it; but, I can also see reading between the lines, the news, the knowledge base, and seeing something else. I enjoyed my play through overall; though, I suppose I wish it was longer, or there were more cutaway scenes or chatting scenes -that said, I think I get why not (partly narrative reasons but also the practical reasons of an indie game only able to get so much content.) PS There is rumblings of an endless mode, so that prolly answers my query of wanting to play a bit longer. And, of course, there is multiple endings I could chase down: I just happened to really like the ending I got...well, not the FIRST one I got (that went...not well let's say).
