Great game! I played it all the way through and loved it! It was a little annoying to close all the tabs every time to start typing again (a "close all", or "back to work" button would be nice), but regardless, fabulous job.
a simple popup explaining that they KEEP their position would have helped direct you to stacking them. removed the annoyance for me.
Love the animation/sound effects devs, if you're reading there's a flaw on the email to "Geoff" might be a double space or a string that doesn't match. Larger error in inputs would be the thought of whether or not a 'space' is needed at the end of a line. Different emails were inconsistent. And no, I'm no fun at parties <3
Superbly silly commentary on the idiocy of the modern workplace and love the way the developer of this game responds to player comments as it's so fitting.
This game is frankly a hundred times better than it has any right to be. It’s stupid, right? It’s all stupid all the way down. And yet I love everything about it. I had a laugh with my buddies about it and now I’m actually getting into it. I’m blaming you for this, BioTech!
Awesome game, however for some reason in a certain point of the game, it was stuck in caps lock and i had to hold shift to do lowercase. What happened? (And yes i tried pressing caps lock again, it did nothing.)
I had bought 2 new rocks and 1 rock skin. Then, after finishing some emails and a few accidental clicks out of the window, it started happening. I don't really know how to describe exactly when it happened, but my best guess is this happened because i clicked out of the window in caps lock or something.
Hi there! Thanks for playing! Please let us know what it was that you couldn't type, so that we can look into what the issue could be. Perhaps it's worth making sure that you are typing a capital letter - the game is case sensitive. We are also yet to test support for keyboard layouts other than English, if that applies to you this may be what is causing some problems.
I've never been one for Typing games however this one intrigued me! I felt stress and success while watching all my work tumble down before me! Great game!!!
I'm constantly bouncing between cackling over the game, gnashing my teeth at my lack of typing accuracy at full speed, and watching my balance like a hawk so I can unlock the Burger King hat.
Update: Never mind, just unlocked the Burger King hat. I had to take a minute to recover.
Incredible game! I'm questioning my sanity by willingly typing so many work emails on my day off, but it's worth every new discovery I make as I play. Great job and hats off to you!
Hi there! Thanks for playing, and for catching this bug. Was it just this one line that was displaying wrong or did it happen on multiple emails? We will try and look into this as soon as we can and patch it for the next update. Thanks!
I attest that this very same bug occurred at my office too, while I was using the web version.
It seems that I was typing another text though I don’t have the lines.
Please also look for double spaces in your content, as it already happened to me once.
You can probably find it with the “Search and replace” feature of your favorite text editor.
Hilarious setting and the mechanics are perfectly frustrating!
I will admit I tried to get over the hill for way too long, but--like the real Sisyphus--I was happy doing it.I hope I'll make a game as cool as this eventually, good job.
This game is great but is there a way to close the popup windows using the keyboard. Considering this game exists to help you type accurately i think it would be great.
Hi there! We've seen this request pop up a couple of times so are looking into it for the next update. This game was built for an absurdist game collection. For more info check the description here: BRIEFS 2022 - an absurd collection Thanks!

I really like how the music comes on when you get the airpods! I enjoyed this game, I played it for almost 2 hours! Great job, I hope you make more games in the future! :) <3
The G in Geoff where it says "that I think Geoff is a genius" always sends me down to the bottom, even when I type it correctly. Pretty frustrating and I hope it can be fixed in the next patch.
Hi there! Thank you for playing, and we're sorry you ran into an issue. We haven't seen a bug like this before, so will look into it as soon as we can. Perhaps it's worth making sure that you are typing a capital letter - the game is case sensitive. We are also yet to test support for keyboard layouts other than English, if that applies to you this may be what is causing some problems. Otherwise, on failing an email three times, you gain the option to delegate (skip). You can use this to move on to the next email and continue playing. Thanks!

Hi there! Thanks for your thoughts, we're going to release the patch soon which addresses these points and more. Thanks again!
Lol, imagine complaining about the annoyance of mandatory repetitive labor in a game dedicated to literally emulating the Sisyphean experience 😂

Hilarious and hopeless all at the same time.
Superbly silly commentary on the idiocy of the modern workplace and love the way the developer of this game responds to player comments as it's so fitting.
Excellent spin on the typing sim.

sick idea and execution, it really makes typing rewarding and the aesthetics are really cool. Thanks for making!
I just got to know, is there an ending? Will I ever reach the peak or is it just a hopeless dream?
Here at BioTech, we believe anything is possible with enough commitment and diligence!
Awesome game, however for some reason in a certain point of the game, it was stuck in caps lock and i had to hold shift to do lowercase. What happened? (And yes i tried pressing caps lock again, it did nothing.)
Hi there! We've not encountered that before, can you give any details as to when it happened? (After buying something / changing tab etc) Thanks!
I had bought 2 new rocks and 1 rock skin. Then, after finishing some emails and a few accidental clicks out of the window, it started happening. I don't really know how to describe exactly when it happened, but my best guess is this happened because i clicked out of the window in caps lock or something.
Thanks for letting us know, we'll try and recreate it to fix for the next patch
That was INCREDIBLY fun, thank you so much for such a hilarious twist on so many concepts. <3
How do you play? As soon as I type the first letter I fail. Do you need to press all the keys at the same time or is this some kind of bug?

The ending makes it worth it.
(i went on a shopping spree)
h_ooooooo Hi
Thanks again for those passwords :) They really are a nice extra.
I've never been one for Typing games however this one intrigued me! I felt stress and success while watching all my work tumble down before me! Great game!!!
I've never played a game that made me feel so much justified frustration and reasonless cheerfulness within 5 minutes. Great work!
beautifu
Never before has typing emails been so frustrating, addictive, and mythology-infused. 10/10
Ahoy!
I'm having trouble with saving my progress,
If you could, please send someone in maintenance to help me figure out the mechanics. Thanks!
Kind regards,
Pixie
Good-Morrow,
There currently isn't an option to save progress as the game is intended to be completed within 30-60 minutes.
Maintenance are on route to your location to tell you this in person.
Burn after reading,
Alex
The weirdest combination of things but it's so funny. Great experience
I'm constantly bouncing between cackling over the game, gnashing my teeth at my lack of typing accuracy at full speed, and watching my balance like a hawk so I can unlock the Burger King hat.
Update: Never mind, just unlocked the Burger King hat. I had to take a minute to recover.

I haven't laughed so hard playing a video game in a long time. Thank you, the humor is on point!
Loving this game. I depend on autocorrect way too much, and this is helping me with my accuracy.
Small bug: Not sure if this is connected with an ultra-wide screen resolution, but some lines don't appear right (see attached).
Keep up the good work. A programmer's job is never done.
Hi there! Thanks for playing, and for catching this bug. Was it just this one line that was displaying wrong or did it happen on multiple emails? We will try and look into this as soon as we can and patch it for the next update. Thanks!
Howdy!

This is very cool! Very unique typing game experience
I love this game, but I gotta ask, is it actually possible to get over the hill?
Here at BioTech, we believe anything is possible with enough hard work and dedication!
whenever i try to buy a second new rock it takes my money but the rock stays the same
hmm... maybe buy a third new rock?
let us know how it goes!
Great style and idea!
This game is great but is there a way to close the popup windows using the keyboard.
Considering this game exists to help you type accurately i think it would be great.

im ready for the Web 1.0 aesthetic to wash over us already
Phenomenal. You guys did a great job. We can't stop playing this!
Thank you! We're huge fans of the Dread X Collections so it means a lot that you enjoyed!
Finally good game for teach blind typing
Clever and hilarious!
Feels just a little punishing.
Esteemed peers,
I really like how the music comes on when you get the airpods! I enjoyed this game, I played it for almost 2 hours! Great job, I hope you make more games in the future! :) <3
XOXO,
Louie
To whom it may concern,
BioTech thanks you for adhering to the approved email formatting. A promotion is surely on the horizon.
Kind regards,
Alex
gawd this is frustrating for someone who sucks at typing
The G in Geoff where it says "that I think Geoff is a genius" always sends me down to the bottom, even when I type it correctly. Pretty frustrating and I hope it can be fixed in the next patch.

Some days I too feel like Sisyphus being trampled by the boulder of life.
Such a clever and brilliant game, very proud of you both!
Why would you make this?
Because you're geniuses, clearly.
Unique and interesting game.
A very unique and interesting game!
