I really wanna love this game, i do....but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ this game would have really benefitted from producer oversight and proper q&a, because there are so many design decisions that leave me baffled as to why they had to be implemented in this way. Thus this game slowly becomes not fun as the hours continue, until it just drags on and overstays its welcome by a long while.

What i like about the game are the conversations with the customers, the documents, text messages and of course the musing of "Ms. S". Sometimes serious, sometimes whimiscal and funny. It was good food for thought (not always super high-level, but i didnt expect it to and can fill in the blanks myself).

What i didnt like about the game was the game itself and how it was designed...especially after the hours mount on (like after hour 4 or 5), sucking out the fun that was to be had. This could have been avoid by making cuts and making the game shorter. Then, if the players wants more storylines or endings, they would replay it.

But as is, it so much feels artifically lenghtened, and together with some of the bugs it really feels like a slog.

Thus, i really cant recommened it as much as i want to.

TL;DR: Get it if you would like a narrative-driven game exploring the consequences of technology. Do not get it if you're looking for a sim game.

I feel like I need to give a review due to the amount of negative ones here.

This is a great little game that delivers a Black Mirror-esque narrative. The management aspect of it is shallow, but well-packaged in scope to deliver its narrative. Each new upgrade you install unlocks a new customer interaction, where you make decisions on how you want to help said customers. Each of these interactions present an opportunity to explore the consequences of technology.

If you're primarily looking for a sim game, you will be left disappointed. If you can find enjoyment in basic sim gameplay, and are interested in exploring the moral dilemmas of futuristic technology, you will most likely enjoy this game. I am in the latter camp, and found the game delivered very well on this premise. It's also very comfortable to play on a laptop on the couch.

Some additional points from the other comments I want to address:
- I did not have huge issues with crashes. I crashed about 2 times on my playthrough over 2 days. Did experience a few bugs though, but I managed to work around them.

- You get daily objectives, which earn you extra points at the end of the day. Some of them are quite cryptic, it's hard to figure out what you need to do to achieve them. By the middle, I found out which of the goals were in practice unachievable and just ignored them. Again, this is bearable if you are playing primarily for the narrative.

- I played on a M1 mac. I personally found it playable, but unfortunately when there are snow effects (which is most of the time), it is laggy. I tolerated it, but it may be a dealbreaker for many. I really wish the settings would allow me to turn them off.
