Fantastic Game
This game has so much depth and feeling. Exceeded my expectations. I finished my first run and am full of emotions.
Outstanding
After I finished playing it made me sit down and think for a while. I’ve never had a phone game do that to me…
Fun at first
This game was fun at first but now I am trying every day to finish my last task and it is a constant fail. This is going on for over a week and is now annoying. I wish I could get my money back!
Confused
I am stuck on the Last to the last task. I must have played it about 10 times by now and it always comes up as failed. This is not much fun and I am wondering what I am doing wrong❓
The depth of this game is astonishing
So much more than a match 3 game.
So many clues and hidden treats to find.
I’m gobsmacked at the beauty, the creativity and the underlying sinister feel to this absolute gem of a game.

Thank you for your kind words!
Great game with a lot of character
I love this game for how its casual but you can play it in just a day. Its very fun and the 3 match is quite entertaining. I really enjoy playing it and would recommend it to anyone
Brilliant
Fun, challenging, thought-provoking, entertaining, and artistic. A must play. But I also think you should get all of this developers games. They are all brilliant in different ways.
Executes Perfectly
The game does everything I feel it’s sought out to do. I started out just having fun with the whimsical, match-3 type job and chatting with friends and coworkers without any thought of consequences of actions. Very quickly I ended up dreading every single match-3 game, just wanting to complete them quickly so I could have some sort of family or friend to text or number to call to break up the monotony of the pointless little job of a game. I put thought into every message between contacts, and the game almost immediately makes you feel the consequences of your choices. I played through once, trying to focus on my family, only for work to eventually take over my life. I played again, acting as their perfect little corporate slave and watching as my family and friends all got pushed away as a result. The results end nearly the same, withering away as just another cog in the machine. No matter my choices, no matter how different the story varied (and I was surprised by how much it did vary between every little choice), it always ended more or less the same. But I played again, persisted, and achieved what I believe is the true ending, and I don’t think I’ll ever be the same as a result. Truly a work of art.

Great!
My only complaint is I wish there were achievements included. I’m also not sure about the possibility of multiple endings like in the steam game… I’ve been trying, but haven’t been able to figure it out myself, and as far as I know there’s no guide, so not sure if it’s even possible on iPad. If it is, awesome, I’ll keep trying.

Wow
I thought the reviews on the writing were too good to be true, but I feel like it underplayed the quality in retrospect. Impressive “choose your own adventure” pick from 3 and match 3 game for a thinking audience.
A boring dystopia
A few thousand days in the life of a near-futuristic wage slave. The numbers you can call provide comic relief which is extremely necessary to break up the hellscape drudgery of the main character’s existence.
Come for the match-3 gameplay, stay for the intense depression that follows. A very good game, but probably not recommend for the easily discouraged.

Great
This game is something. I really love all the little side sites you can connect to. So fantastic, such a great parody of real life. One of the best phone games I’ve found in a while.
Bug?
I completed all my tasks for the first day but I can’t contact Charlie to close out all the messages sent between him and I are gone (no other contact messages are gone) and I just see a blank screen when I click his name
Huge Fan!
I thought I wrote a review before, but I don’t see it. This is like the French art film of match-3 games. I enjoyed the chat feature as well as the puzzles, and I appreciated the lack of in-app purchases, but I loved the background music! Such a stress relief at the end of a long day at my real life Joki Joki. Thanks for making it, Kimmo!

Enjoyable
I really enjoyed the game and found it a bit short. Three evenings and it was over. I hope for some extensions or extra level…
Fun but short
- story is well written and fun (and depressing)
- match-3 games are a bit repetitive and too easy, last part is the same le vel over and over...
- it’s not possible to replay the levels without starting a new game...?
it might be for you if you like your match-3 game to remind you that you should go get a life instead of grinding virtual bananas and blueberries on your smartphone.

I will quit my job

Skipping days
I was having fun until it would randomly skip days, people I didn’t know texting me and situations happening I had no clue about. Would be great if I could understand the story.
Layers of intelligent gameplay
At first this looks like a way to make match three have a bit more personality. Ok fun they made it your job. Then there is the chat box. You can choose to be the perfect employee and the dream spouse, a great friend and support your alcoholic brother or you can choose not to. 😈 The first time I played this I did my job, I was a nice person but a amazing as the game was, already 5 star worthy, I missed the best part. All those phone numbers. Smart, hilarious and a bit horrifying. Absolute perfection.

Completely pointless and depressing
A ridiculously simple match 3 game with a very short and slowly drawn out “story” of texting back and forth to a slow responding jerk boss, a clueless ex-girlfriend and a demanding, emotionally unbalanced current girlfriend. Oh, and your alcoholic brother that keeps relapsing with veiled threats of suicide.
Super fun.
You know how you have that one relative that you’re obligated to speak to? They text too much, say nothing, and take way too long to type out responses?
This is just like that except you gave the devs money for the frustrating and depressing experience.
And the final message? That life is all work and in the end, completely pointless.
Like I said, super fun.
