8 itemsAbout the Game
Thank You for Your Application is a work simulation game themed around job interviews. Players take on the role of an interviewer at the largest company in Aeropolis City, reviewing applicants’ resumes and documents according to strict and constantly changing hiring requirements, before making decisions that may alter the course of other people’s lives.
Throughout the game, players will encounter a wide range of applicants, absurd corporate systems, ever-changing policy demands, and the company’s dark secrets gradually coming to light. Against a backdrop of dark humour and corporate drudgery, players must make choice after choice in their everyday working life.
Decide the fate of job applicants: As an interviewer, will you side with capital and the rules, or give workers the green light?
Exercise your tiny slice of corporate power: Check application documents, raise questions, make judgements — and even shock applicants with electricity.
A bleak apartment life after work: Pay your bills, browse forums, buy daily necessities, and try to keep your mental state intact.
Multiple-ending narrative: Exploring themes such as workplace discipline, the shame of unemployment, efficiency-first thinking and discrimination against outsiders, your choices will shape the direction of the story.
Screen candidates’ resumes and documents according to the company’s daily hiring requirements, then decide whether to accept or eliminate them.

When recruitment becomes pretend recruitment, when pretend recruitment becomes redundancy, and when redundancy finally reaches you — where are workers supposed to go?
