"After all these loans you gave out maybe you need to think who the real monster is" - err... still you, dude. You run the business, I'm just an employee here >.>

Theres a small issue with the last loan, it clearly says the car needs to be worth more then the loan, and being that the loan is 1500 and the car is worth 1500 the car isent worth more then the loan, when I declined it I got a warning.

I get the point, so I see why it's so short. It was okay to play, which I guess is what you get from a game made in 72 hours. Pretty good.

Good game but i really want it to be maybe an idle business game. Build your loan company with time, hire employers and so on!! Really good game :)

Sorry for all the comments, but yes, I guess we do get a date. Still, it never says which month we're determining by, so I'd have to assume it's if they don't break the necessary income requirements ANY month they should be denied. Also, well, kinda silly moral, especially since, while in fact there are plenty of people out there who really do have to take out loans for medical bills and stuff, it's probably more likely they're doing so to buy things right now that they don't need/could easily wait and save up for or can't possibly pay for EVER, so hey, good thing our character quit, maybe I can take his position. I'd absolutely leave my crappy job in no time flat if it meant moving to a successful loan firm, especially since I wouldn't be the one repossessing people's cars. So the message fell a little flat for me; our character mostly just comes off as whiny.

Hold on now. The handbook says "must make GREATER THAN 1000 per month". So I denied a guy who makes 250 a week, equaling out to 1000. EQUAL TO 1000, not GREATER THAN 1000. And yet I got a warning. I think I need to speak with my supervisor about the handbook, now don't I?! Unless of course you want us to consider in the extra 2 days a month they work, but then why not just give us a breakdown of by day pay as well, hm? Definitely have to speak to my supervisor.

Ok on day 2 I got a guy that had 250$ a week. Handbook said GREATER than 1000$ a month. Rejected and got a warning. It should be changed so that it says a minimum of $1000 a month.

Handbook says "Must have Monthly income greater than $1,000" $250 a week for 4 weeks = $1,000, not greater than it. Said denying claim was wrong.

"Must have greater than $1000 monthly income" should be "Must have at least $1000 monthly income". Rejected an applicant that made $250/week got me a warning.

No complaints about the gameplay, though it would be nice if it was longer or the things that could trip you up were less obvious. Regarding the "you are the monster" message, the game is pretty heavy-handed about the loan companies, but it puts you in the role of someone who is brand new to the job, so it's rather ambiguous as to whether you're really all that much of a monster. I'd prefer for it to be either totally over-the-top badness (could be achieved by, e.g., requiring you to go out and repossess cars while the borrowers cry their eyes out), or complete moral ambiguity (cut back on the heavy-handedness by not having the boss be such a dbag toward your character).

Comparison to "Papers, Please" is inevitable, but even considering the 72 hour time limit on this, I feel the potential for this concept still falls short of that. It's not a bad concept or exeution, just someone else did it first and better.

Wish it was longer and more difficult. The people who you had to deny were super obvious (wrong name, wants 1 million, is like 12 years old, has shitty car). Would be cool if you had to look into more detail than that. Other than that just a Papers please concept scratched on the surface. Not bad for 72hours but I'd like to see this fleshed out.
