Uncommon App

I'm so addicted, the setting is just so interesting and you want to keep trying and trying to master every single level, well done! There are some bugs regarding the tags, sometimes when I already admitted a student with the tag required by the goal it did not show up on the count.

The concept is very nice, though the UX is a bit lacking. Not sure if its on my end, but music doesn't play in game. The newspapers can't be clicked, and some text goes out of the text boxes. Love the artstyle and music (or at least the title screen music) though.

can't complain for a free game...

cute, free game. i had a good time with it. the +2 interview reward never works during the day all the orange-ish rewards are required (day 9, I think), every run I did of that day only had 1 or 2 of any of the three I was looking for on a given day. Was never able to fulfill any of them. Those are my only complaints. The story was interesting, and most of the game worked solid. If the dev updated it, the couple fixes would be great. I think this was worthy of a couple of hours of my time.

I get this is a free game. and it is not the worst out there but made it about 15 minutes before deciding this wasn't for me. Good points: The art is stylistic and beautiful. the world *seems* fleshed out in a similar vein to papers please and blue prince(you are thrown into a college admissions role at a prestigious university after a 5 year magic war. Lots of room for investigation, complications, politics, and the like. I didn't witness any of that but the idea is there). The format is in 4 manageable chunks of a shift (a briefing with the principle for the daily expectations, work time, after work stats, and finally after hour relaxing in the teachers lounge) but there ends the pros of this game. Bad points: Every application is randomly generated so it is possible to play a run and not even be close to meeting daily requirements for not getting fired that day(how is this something I can control?) *and* you have a limited stack of applicants but you can't look at all the applications for the day to make informed choices. Which doesn't make sense for a college admissions position. The dialogue and font are rough to comprehend and do not lend to world building, friendship deve…

Maybe I didn't give the game enough of a chance with not even 20 minutes, but I just couldn't keep going. I like the concept and the simple gameplay, but it just doesn't feel like what you do matters. You see a student, see some stats, and then accept or reject on the spot. You don't get to see the other students in the pool before deciding, so it turns into a gambling game. Instead of looking at the applicants and making an informed decision, you just have to make an almost arbitrary choice and hope that the other applicants in the pile can compensate for whatever losses you might have caused from that decision. And if you fail, you just get fired and start again. For a supposedly "narrative-driven" game, I would expect some kind of conversation about your failure, which then, of course, drives the narrative. I was thinking and hoping this would be a game about thought-provoking choices with meaningful consequences for what you do. The trailer shows more interactions and the description talks about interviews, but from what I've played, it seems that at its core, this game is ultimately just about meeting quotas with minimal information. Again, maybe I didn't give it enough of a …
