About
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.
Check their internship certificates. We want graduates with experience.
Check their Psychological Evaluation Report. We want employees with a stable state of mind.
Check their graduation certificate. We want students from top universities.

Remember to pay your rent on time, lest you become a homeless illegal overstayer.
Remember to keep your mental state in check. The company has no need for employees who break down.
When recruitment becomes pretend recruitment, when pretend recruitment becomes redundancy, and when redundancy finally reaches you — where are workers supposed to go?

Reviews
I really want to support indie devs and hate to leave negative reviews before proper play. But this game is unplayable on handheld, the controller support is awful. You need to navigate the cursor to the cross and press A to go back, instead of pressing B. And many times you cannot even find which one is supposed to be highlighted. How incompetence and disappointed that the developers don't know how controller work. Also I am using a handheld which is NOT a steam deck, the game locks resolution at 720p and not even allow you to change it. I enabled higher resolution in game scope setting and its not working. Very disappoint and I have to even wait for 5 minutes to write this review. It's a disgrace game at this state is marked Steam Deck playable. I doubt they even tested on it!!
This game will scratch that Papers, Please itch, but like others have said the story itself is not very compelling or with any consequences. I really enjoyed some of the unique elements the game had and the living quarters mail and upgrades - I think that was a great addition. This game doesn't have much re-playability despite "multiple endings" and the achievements are easy to get. To be honest I've already completely forgotten what the story was. That said, I'd still recommend it if you're looking for something similar to Papers, Please but easier to play.
[h1]絶妙な不穏さ[/h1] ※English is following. ゲームとしての難易度曲線がうまく調整されていると思う。 面接官として応募者を採用するかどうかを決めるにあたり、社の定めた「基準」をもとに判断する必要があるのだが、 この基準が毎日変更となるため、「昨日からの流れで惰性で働く」というふうにはいかない。 どんなに気をつけていても、ちょっとしたミスを犯すことがあるおかげで 地味なゲームでありながらダレずに遊ぶことができる!w また、単に基準をもとに採用/不採用を決めるだけでは終わらず、 レジスタンス活動の手助けを秘密裏におこなう側面もあるのが面白い。 会社での職務を適正に全うするだけではなく、隠れてコソコソと上手にルールを破る必要があるケースも出てくるのだ。 やっていることはずっと書類選考なのだが、この部分だけはステルスゲーのような趣がある。 この活動によって、この世界のディストピア感が徐々に表出してきてじわじわ不穏さが増していくところも面白い。 個人的にホラーと呼ぶほどには感じないが、なにか底の方から湧き上がってくる悍ましさや不快感みたいなものがあって ディストピア物特有の精神的恐怖を感じられる。 2Dのピクセルアートとテキスト情報のみで描かれるからこそ、プレイヤーの想像力に怖さレベルが左右されるところが、読書好きとして好みな部分。 想像力が逞しい人ほど怖く感じられる作りなのではないだろうか。 [h1]A Subtle Sense of Unease[/h1] I think the difficulty curve of the game is well-tuned. As an interviewer, you have to decide whether or not to hire applicants based on the company's established "criteria," but these criteria change daily, so you can't just "work on autopilot based on yesterday's routine." Even if you're careful, you're bound to make small mistakes, which makes this a surprisingly engaging game despite its understated nature! Furthermore, it's not just about deciding whether to hire or not based on the criteria; there's also an interesting aspect of secretly assisting with resistance activities. You need to not only perform your duties properly at the company, but also cleverly and secretly break the rules. While you're still doing document screening, this part has the feel of a stealth game. This activity gradually reveals the dystopian nature of this world, slowly increasing the sense of unease, which is also fascinating. Personally, I don't find it quite horror-like, but there's a kind of dreadfulness and discomfort welling up from deep within, and it evokes the psychological horror unique to dystopias. The fact that it's depicted solely through 2D pixel art and text means that the level of fear depends on the player's imagination, which is something I appreciate as a book lover. I think it's designed to be more frightening for those with vivid imaginations.
不好玩
这是真上班
I can see what it's trying to get at but it's a bit on the nose and the repetition, whilst making sense in the context of the game, is still repetitive and quite boring. I really wanted to like this one but it's not got the sauce, in my eyes. Still, well-made and there's some good ideas in there along with some class rage which I will always have a soft spot for.
为了一个成就我打了n遍,终于k88没死结果在day27又收不到他的邮件...你懂这种绝望吗?重复打也没有我真服了能不能告诉我这是什么情况?xhs上面有人评论了官方也不回复...还有你这垃圾的存档,打到后面我都麻木了
有新意,整体中上佳作,如果可以的话参与感更多一点会好些
好评。过程中重复性的面试何尝不是完美演绎了真实的上班(。 喜欢彩蛋,萌之。
写作不错,角色很可爱。(? 玩出一种上班的困感何尝不是完美扣题
