<About This Game> You play as a new interviewer at a certain company. Sadly, this company suffers from chronic understaffing. The reason? Every single person they hire is somehow off... But you can't afford to complain if you want to keep the company afloat! Even if they're not perfect, you have to keep hiring or the company will collapse...! You must patiently listen to them, find their strengths, and somehow make it work. ...And so began the hellish days of one interviewer. <Features> ・Every eccentric interviewee has “inconsistencies” in their conversation and resume. Point them out! ・After exposing these inconsistencies, if you still think they're hireable, offer them the job. If you decide against it, reject them. ・If you can't find any inconsistencies, be sure to use the hints. You can highlight suspicious text. ・Play all stages for free. <How to Play> ・At the start of each day, first check the black paper on your desk (your boss's instructions). ・After reading it, that day's interviewee will enter the room. Welcome them as the interviewer. ・Next, review the contents of the “Resume (white paper)” and the “Question Sheet (yellow paper)”. (You can drag the resume to view it from edge to edge) ・After reviewing everything, ask 4 questions that catch your attention from the question sheet. (Asking all 6 questions is also fine) ・A “That's No Good Button” will then appear in the center of the screen. Use it to pinpoint the interviewee's contradictions. ・Up to 3 contradictions are hidden per person. (The number of contradictions may be reduced to 1 or 2 depending on the questions you choose) ・Pointing out at least one contradiction will advance you to the next hiring decision phase. ・Finally, decide whether to hire the interviewee based on your judgment. Either choice will allow you to proceed to the next day. <Buttons in the top right corner> ・From “Company Status,” you can view details like the company's current situation, past interviewee records, and purchased supplies. ・From “Hints,” you can obtain hints related to the three contradictions. ・From “Settings,” you can adjust music volume and check your acquired achievements. <Highly recommended for those who fit these descriptions!> ・Those who enjoy deduction games, puzzles, or quizzes. ・Those who want to enjoy conversations with uniquely charming characters. ・Those who simply want to become an interviewer and decide whether to hire or reject candidates. ・Basic controls are just taps and drags—no complex operations whatsoever! ・Stage-based design allows quick clear times. Perfect for short breaks or killing time! ・No grotesque content in the main story, so those who dislike scary things can enjoy it with peace of mind. <About Used Materials> ▽Title / Main BGM ・Uo-sao- https://dova-s.jp/bgm/play22653.html ・Nakayoshi Cooking https://dova-s.jp/bgm/play20552.html ・BGM for “The Unparalleled Clown Appears!”-esque moments https://dova-s.jp/bgm/play21736.html ※This game's story is fiction. ※All characters, organizations, names, etc., are fictional and bear no relation to any real entities.
