PENDING APPROVAL

"A simple desk job. A stack of applications. Nights you might not survive."

FEBUARY 2030. As an employee of [REDACTED], your role is to process job applications—verifying identities, checking criminal records, and flagging potential threats. Most applicants are normal. Some are not. Even in the middle of nowhere, you are never safe.

The company even supplied you with a computer connected to a company network to facilitate your job! How great. Surely nothing can go wrong, right?

Do your job. Make the right calls. After all, you know what you signed up for.

                             

This game prototype concept was made in a few days for the Brackeys Game Jam 2025.1. Many features (like lore or other nights) did not make it into the prototype due to a lack of time and proper resources and gameplay was optimized instead for the game jam.

Special thanks to Brackeys for helping me out in the good ol' Unity days and everyone who organized this game jam. This was a blast!

This is my first real game jam submission ever. I did not have time to make all the ideas I had in my time due to my lack in level design and the amount of programming I had to do for this game. I intensively worked on that game for days straight.

Half of the week was spent on working on the game and the rest was spent on playtesting and quality control. Special thanks to loper, sano, irony, May, Universe and Coal for helping me out with this one. Also thanks to Enuyu for making the stamp model, really cool :)

Some features like the money used, extra nights, lore and other "methods" and "sites" (no spoilers!) were scrapped in favor of optimizing the time and favoring the quality of the gameplay loop. 

If you have some really constructive feedback, let me know... thank you for reading or playing! If you liked the game concept, please rate the game favorably for me to win the game jam!
