Three evenings and it was over. I hope for some extensions or extra level… ### 5/5 — Incredible simulation *2022-01-23* I will quit my job Cheers ;-) ### 5/5 — Layers of intelligent gameplay *2021-12-17, version 1.0.7* 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. ### 5/5 — Unassumingly Amazing *2021-10-27, version 1.0.7* I just finished my first playthrough of this game and am pretty blown away. What at first appeared to be a simple match-three game and satire of working for a large, modern, corporation quickly turned into a much deeper, thought provoking experience. This is some of the best writing I've experience in a game this year. It isn't just an "art game", the puzzles themselves are fun, but you should definitely check this out of you are interested in the intersection of "games" and "art". ### 5/5 — wow *2021-10-26* really cool game with some funny and sometime black dialogs ### 5/5 — Realistic Text Chatting! *2021-10-20, version 1.0.7* This doesn’t feel scripted at all, and it felt like I was having a genuine conversation with the characters even though I couldn’t choose exactly how to respond! Awesome game, well-executed! ### 5/5 — Interesting game with a clever use of ludonarrative *2021-09-18, version 1.0.7* A Match 3/life simulator combo (seriously) that addresses questions of life, agency, and what it means to be a person. The character relationships felt compelling, the Match 3 gameplay was entertaining (until [spoiler], but that just served to advance the story), and I didn’t see the ending twist coming. If you liked “Papers, Please” or “Catherine”, give this one a go. ### 5/5 — Great! *2021-05-20, version 1.0.6* I had stop buying apps 3 years ago because it was becoming real boring after awhile, I took a chance,I’m glad I took the chance, I love it and, can’t stop playing it,it a good stressed relief game and I’m 58😂 great app Guys! ### 5/5 — Shockingly thought-provoking match 3 game *2021-05-13, version 1.0.6* When I first saw this game on the App Store I thought “oh boy, another match three”. But something about it caught my eye. It just seemed… different. I am so so glad I took that second glance! This is one of the most interesting and thought-provoking experiences I’ve had on the App Store since probably 2014. Let’s be honest, the App Store is incredibly stale. And when you talk about a genre like match three, well that just takes stale to a whole new level. But this is much much more than a matching game. It has to do with love, family, isolation, loneliness, disenchantment, joy, depression, relationships, and oddly enough, futurism. As you can see, the app’s creator bit off a lot to think about, and they handle it all in a beautiful and thought-provoking way giving the player agency to put a piece of themselves into the experience. I feel that there’s a strong undercurrent of philosophy underpinning the game. It’s hard to put my finger on it because I’m still in the process of playing it, but somehow it feels so important. A lot of the interactions you have with other people through text, and the various easter eggs you can find by making random phone calls, have a way of inviting you to reflect on your own life, and your place in the world. If all that seems heavy, don’t worry! It is offset beautifully by just a fun and satisfying match 3 game. It’s the perfect game to bite off in 20 minute chunks day after day. There’s also a strong air of mystery that makes you feel like you are unraveling a story as you play. I really can’t recommend this enough! I’m an avid gamer for 30 years now: coming from someone who has literally seen it all, this one is worth checking out. ### 5/5 — An absolute gem *2021-04-19, version 1.0.6* This is easily the most compelling writing I have seen in a game in 2021. Each choice feels weighty and difficult and the narrative never stops extolling the price for every choice you’ve made before. I’ve never played a match three game where I spend virtually every moment second-guessing everything I’ve done. The story will keep me up at night and I will return to this game for a second and third play through. This is time and money well spent. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fun at first *2023-10-30, version 1.0.10* 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! ### 1/5 — Bug? *2022-06-16, version 1.0.8* 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 ### 1/5 — Skipping days *2021-12-27, version 1.0.7* 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. ### 1/5 — Completely pointless and depressing *2021-12-15, version 1.0.7* 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. ### 2/5 — Honest review *2021-08-19* So, I’ve played it for a couple of hours now and it’s already finished. You really don’t get a lot of gameplay for your money here. Absolutely loved the puzzle part of the game, it’s so refreshing to have a game like that to play without any annoying adverts or ongoing pay to play features. In this regard the game is totally worth the money. On the contrary, I hate the storyline, I wish there was a skip button for the ridiculous text conversations and the hideous videos that appear at the end of the day. Not sure who would enjoy that and the worst is that you can’t skip them! ### 2/5 — Can’t get past day one *2021-07-14, version 1.0.6* At the end of my session I’m asked to log out for the day. I do so and it tells me I’m all logged out. The next day I try to log in and it tell’s me that I’m all done and I should log out. I logged out yesterday and got a confirmation but the app doesn’t seem to have recognized that. So here I am living in Groundhog Day unable to go forward which is pretty ironic considering the name of the day. If this is not resolved I want my money back ### 2/5 — Pretentious and short *2021-04-22* Premium price for a very basic match 3 game, with a novel storytelling mechanic. Novelty wares thin fast and is not redeemed by a twist ending. No replay value. Do we have agency... is this even real man.... blah blah blah... ### 3/5 — Confused *2023-10-17* 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❓ ### 3/5 — Fun but short *2022-02-12* - 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. ### 4/5 — Great! *2022-09-24, version 1.0.8* 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fantastic Game *2026-06-24, version 1.1.2* This game has so much depth and feeling. Exceeded my expectations. I finished my first run and am full of emotions. ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2025-02-27, version 1.1.2* 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… ### 5/5 — The depth of this game is astonishing *2023-08-16* 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. **Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words! ### 5/5 — Great game with a lot of character *2023-06-08, version 1.0.10* 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 ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2023-02-06, version 1.0.8* 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. ### 5/5 — Executes Perfectly *2022-10-25, version 1.0.8* 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. ### 5/5 — Wow *2022-08-15, version 1.0.8* 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. ### 5/5 — A boring dystopia *2022-06-26, version 1.0.8* 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. ### 5/5 — Great *2022-06-20, version 1.0.8* 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. ### 5/5 — Huge Fan! *2022-05-27, version 1.0.8* 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! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
