About the Game

Regret To Inform is a game about finding reasons to say no.

In the world of Regret To Inform, companies can no longer risk their reputation.

Rejections make candidates angry.

Angry candidates lower ratings.

That’s how Despair Inc. was born — a company specializing in finding reasons to reject candidates.

Your role is simple:

1. Review job description.

2. Compare it with the candidate's resume.

3. Identify inconsistencies.

4. Select the correct rejection reason.

5. Send the email with your regrets.

ANOMALIES

During each workday, you may encounter anomalies — distortions that interfere with your ability to process data.

Information cannot be trusted:

  • Text may become unreadable or misleading

  • Visual noise may obscure critical details

  • Audio disturbances may distract or disorient

All anomaly behaviors are documented, but not always easy to follow.

Multiple anomalies may occur in a single day.

However, each candidate is affected by only one at a time.

DIRECTIVES

Directives are special rules that alter how you must respond.

Even correct decisions may not be enough:

  • They apply to the entire day

  • They affect only specific cases

  • They may force you to override a correct answer

A perfectly valid rejection may become incorrect under a directive.

Follow the rules. MAKE NO MISTAKES.
