I’ve used Slack before and I’m a big hater but the UI of it actually works really well for a narrative game. The emoji response gimmick is really fun—sometimes what you choose has unexpected consequences, which is an added challenge. 5 stars although dang it really is unexpectedly difficult to avoid getting laid off! ### 4/5 — Funny unique game *2023-08-28* Painfully reminiscent of tech company life. My only issue was that I didn’t realise I could fail a chapter so it came to a bit of an abrupt ending - I just wanted to mess around and see what different outcomes my actions would have! Otherwise I enjoyed it. **Developer response:** Guess you didn't meet expectations ;) Thanks for playing! ### 5/5 — 📈 *2023-06-23* Loved seeing some good satire in a gamified version of slack. Recommended to anyone who has worked in big tech companies! **Developer response:** Thanks for playing! ### 1/5 — Can’t get past orientation *2023-06-22* No more messages after drink emoji. My session was not saved. Seems adorable if I can move forward **Developer response:** Sorry you encountered that bug! We will log it so we can get it into the next update. Thanks for playing! ### 3/5 — Cute sim game that falls short on immersion *2023-06-21* This game reminds me a lot of the game Tender. I love these kinds of narrative stories told through an every day interface but it’s hard to ever feel immersed in this game because of the fact that you have to do things through chapters. I want to be able to open up the app, respond to someone’s message and the close it. It also feels very prescriptive that as soon as you respond to someone’s message, you will always receive another message in a different channel. Tender takes things a little slower and makes it more realistic, sometimes you will have conversations that are longer but then sometimes you have to wait a little bit for a response. I really want to love this game but it feels just a little too rigid/linear for me to feel fully immersed in this world. **Developer response:** Gonna check out Tender and incorporate your feedback into our future games. Appreciate you taking the time to play and leave your feedback! ### 1/5 — Not enough content *2023-06-21* I was promoted to CEO in about half an hour of play and then I couldn’t go back and play any of the chapters again to unlock other channels. At one point in the game a character didn’t understand the emoji I was using and made the (“correct”) decision for me. It’s a cute idea but it just doesn’t seem like there enough content here yet. **Developer response:** Hm, sorry you didn't have a great experience. Average gameplay is a little over an hour, and it sounds like you may have encountered a bug? If you'd like to report this to us feel free to join our Discord (discord.gg/BpmhbFf2hE) and drop us a bug report, or email us at social@bodeville.com. Thanks for playing! ### 5/5 — Fun, clever & replay value! Def worth buying *2023-05-03* I very much enjoyed this game! It’s a fun concept, the mechanics are simple to learn, and the story and characters are entertaining. I played the game several times in a row to get different endings and collect emoji achievements. Definitely not a single–play through game and worth the price because of that! I hope maybe the devs will update with future chapters or stories sometime! I’d love to play in this world more. Highly recommended! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for your review! We've been in chats about adding more content, your feedback is encouraging! ### 5/5 — chaotic and hilarious peek into tech culture *2023-04-21* The plot and ridiculousness of the characters are hilarious but also a perfect satire of a cringey silicon valley tech company! I found myself rolling my eyes and gasping at what was happening on this company slack channel, but then realized how cleverly based on reality it was! Overusing the eggplant emoji is fun as well! **Developer response:** So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for playing. ### 5/5 — Enjoyable satire of tech life *2023-04-10, version 1.0.1* Anybody who has ever worked a dysfunctional job and gossiped with coworkers in side channels can relate to this game. The amount of gameplay is well worth the $ and I’m enjoying replaying it to get all the emoji. **Developer response:** ☀️☀️☀️☀️ ### 5/5 — Addictive! *2023-04-09* Love this game, so different and fun. Highly recommend! **Developer response:** Thanks for playing! ☀️ ## Frequently asked questions about Chief Emoji Officer ### What is Chief Emoji Officer about?
