Thank You for Your Application, the narrative-driven interview simulation game from IceLemonTea Studio and No More Robots, has just fully made back its development costs in 22 hours.
The game, made by a team fresh out of university, has far surpassed all our expectations. Notably this was achieved solely from the Steam launch of the game, with console and mobile editions on the way later this year.
You play as a fresh graduate who has the rare chance to join the largest company in Aeropolis as an interviewer. You’ll screen resumes and issue thank letters for… various reasons.
Your new role:
- Checking the Facts: Review candidates’ resumes and documents based on the company’s daily hiring requirements, and decide whether to hire or reject them. Check their internship certificates, their graduation details, and even their emotion evaluation reports — we only want mentally stable employees!
- The Choice is Yours: Multiple story branches and endings, where your choices shape the story’s direction. Will you side with the capital, or stand with the workers.
- Make it Your Own: A wide range of online shopping after work will let you deck our your digs… but everything you earn in Aeropolis, you must spend in Aeropolis. Are you really taking anything “home”?
- This is the Life: Life management as a corporate drone: pay bills, browse forums, and keep your mind stable. Don’t forget to pay the rent on time to avoid becoming an illegal resident without a place to live — oh, and remember to maintain your own mental health; the company doesn’t want employees on the verge of a breakdown.
