The game's story is minimal, with players noting a lack of engaging narrative and limited mission variety, leading to repetitive gameplay. While some enjoyed the initial experience, many expressed a desire for more content and dynamic missions, as the current offerings feel finite and often result in bugs or unclear objectives. Overall, the story aspect is seen as underdeveloped, with hopes for future updates to enhance it.
“Had really fun 2.5 hours playing the story and I'm sure there'll be more content soon.”
“Brilliant game, but short; can't wait for new missions. It's a really good relaxing game.”
“I hope that they will add more missions in the future and maybe an endless mode.”
“There are 6 mission 'types' but there is almost no variation between individual missions of each type. Essentially, there is currently about half an hour worth of interesting content, and after that, it's just doing the same thing again and again.”
“I think this game is endless but has little story, and then the game is over.”
“There are only a finite number of jobs, then a mission at the end.”

The game is currently plagued by numerous bugs and glitches, significantly impacting gameplay and stability, with players frequently experiencing issues such as freezing, disappearing items, and the need to restart. While many appreciate the game's potential and concept, the overwhelming instability makes it difficult to recommend in its current state. Overall, it is seen as a promising title that requires substantial fixes to reach its full potential.
“The game has so much potential but is too buggy at the minute.”
“So as it currently stands, I can't recommend this game due to the sheer amount of glitches and bugs which make this game completely unplayable.”
“I really do love the idea of the game, but it's so extremely buggy I have to close the game to get things done.”

The gameplay is praised for its engaging concept and potential, but it is severely hindered by numerous bugs that lead to crashes, inventory issues, and item disappearances. Players report significant frustration due to these technical problems, which detract from the overall experience, despite some managing to complete the game. There is hope for future development and improvements to enhance the core gameplay.
“I really love the idea behind it and really hope to see development continue and the core gameplay expanded on.”
“It might be like their other product, Car Mechanic Simulator, where it's worked on for a while with DLC upgrades, but then the game is replaced with a new polished version.”
“Well, the context of the game is good and this is definitely the best service game on Steam, but it has so many bugs. After 7 hours of gameplay, my game froze and crashed. I lost all my money and was forced to do all my certificates again. Also, my inventory bugged and I was left with only 3 usable slots. Sometimes when I accept a contract, the game freezes and I need to restart it. Not to mention that the items (boards, Wi-Fi cards, etc.) are constantly bugging on the working table or on the rack. The shelves are also bugged, and when you place an item on them, the next day they just disappear. But I somehow got through these bugs and finished the game.”
“The game suspends its gameplay for 6 hours, but the actual hours of the game are only an hour. The remaining five hours are due to defects in the game that are not fixed at all, and I do not know how the developer allowed this.”
“After finishing everything and completing the tutorial, here are a few things that I can see fixed quickly that would improve gameplay substantially.”

The graphics in the game are generally praised for their quality, but many users report issues with blurriness and small text that make certain elements difficult to read, particularly in tutorial infographics. Additionally, there are minor bugs, such as an annoying sound effect during tutorials, that detract from the overall visual experience.
“The graphics are very good, and I have not come across any bugs yet, although my PC chair for the office jumped across the room when I started the game, but it was easy to put it back to my PC desk.”
“A lot of the visuals are blurry and difficult to read because the text is just way too small; for example, during the first network management course, you can hardly read the sticky notes in the hotbar because the text is too small and blurry.”
“Remove the bug where the Windows error sound plays each time a tutorial infographic pops up.”
“Improve the phrasing in tutorial infographics.”

The music in the game is described as needing a tech-inspired, dynamic soundtrack reminiscent of "Mr. Robot," with tracks that change periodically to enhance the experience without being distracting or overly generic. While players have the option to mute the game and play their own music, a fitting soundtrack would better complement the game's unique style, especially during high-stakes moments like player score displays.
“The music should not be distracting but also not too generic.”
“While this isn't necessary (as players can turn off the music and play their own from YouTube), it would better fit the unique style of the game.”
“Include player high scores with an intense timer and cyberpunk/tech music playing.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game excessively tedious and repetitive, often feeling that it requires an unrealistic time commitment. Many reviewers note that the grind becomes apparent within the first couple of hours, leading to frustration and a sense of monotony.
“It especially makes the game aggravatingly tedious when you have to go out of whatever you were doing, walk over to another part of the room, grab something you need, and then walk all the way back.”
“Gets grindy and repetitive within the first two hours.”
“You'll need a second life for grinding.”
