Downsizing.exe

Idle & Incremental Lovers recommends Downsizing.exe: [i]The satire and environmental storytelling are top notch. The clicker/incremental part, all about keeping a delicate balance while being distracted by various things, is stressful and not very fun.[/i] + Full of reminiscences of Faceminer, as they are both great incremental games in terms of satire and environmental storytelling. + Worth mentionning is that the stressful gameplay and the boring and repetitive tasks (as explained below) may be seen as a part of the satire: what you are doing makes no sense, and you take life-changing decisions for human beings in a heartbeat (or while playing snake/minesweeper). I'm pretty sure the dev had this in mind when creating the game. + There are challenges and higher difficulties if you want to go further once you finished the game. I didn't feel the urge to. - Core gameplay is about maintaining balance between higher-up satisfaction (aka dismissing employees) and dealing with the complaints (they don't like to be fired, how strange!) and whistleblowers, but upgrades are a bit boring. - While doing that, you have windows popping up asking you to deal with situations, but it's pretty stressful, in most situations you don't even have the time to read and make an informed choice. of the time you d Overall, if you're here for a good game, absolutely buy it! If you're here for the awesome upgrades and cozy nature of most incremental games, maybe you should reconsider. *My grandma was thinking about downsizing.

Really liked the corporate satire and the funny quotes/storytelling, some of the mechanics are interesting too. Upgrades could use a bit more spice, and at times it actually feels like a boring office job, but that kinda adds to the humor. overall, a fun, darkly comedic grind.

Wishlisted this after the demo a few weeks back and I'm glad I did. The dev has done serious work since then. The gameplay has improved a ton and is way more compelling. Will definitely be grinding for those achievements and the prestiges. Would recommend for sure if you are looking for a few hours fun.

Great game, its a strategic clicker where you dont just click but also manage different variables that can lead to your termination. i really like the style of the game the retro interface is really done well and polished, sure here and there some things can be fixed but there is also a lot of polish and love in this game. i like it, i hope you wil like it to its also really cheap.

After about 3 hours with Downsizing.exe I’d give it a 7.5/10. The corporate satire and dialogue carry a lot of the experience, and the game does a good job making repetitive office work weirdly entertaining. Some of the mechanics are genuinely interesting once you start optimizing things. The upgrades could use a bit more variety, but the boring office-job feeling honestly ends up adding to the humor more than hurting it. Feels like a darkly comedic spreadsheet simulator in the best way possible.

I see the bigger picture. I see good can be. I believe personally some things need to be reworked and rebalanced but the game is completely solid. I personally love games in this old retro type style. Artwork is amazing, some of the attention to details is solid, took me maybe 3-4 games to even realize 100% what I was doing. Solid 7.5/10

I liked it more than I thought I would.

I expected a mix of Execute with Faceminer(without the woke) but got a vastly inferior version of both(without the woke).
