The game is very inconsistent. The emails randomize every playthrough which is nice. but the correct responses to them can change. i assume its based on who sent it and their position in the company? Also you only get 5 mistakes (start with $5k and each mistake costs you $1k). so you only get 5 mistakes or you are fired. You can earn an extra $1k if you get all the responses correct in a single day. If you dont get the phishing email right, you lose. I had the contact list up and would cross reference the peoples emails, but even if the email matches, if the picture is SLIGHTLY different, it is phishing (i.e. wearing lipstick in the email). It is frustrating to figure it out. It does tell you what you made a mistake on, so that can help. Its only $3 right now, and has some charm, but dont think its an easy 100% completion game.
The game is confusing. It's not clear why certain emails are approved/denied/phishing. Along with the show mistakes, the devs need to clearly point out why they are mistakes. Otherwise it's just frustrating.
I really think this game has potential and I love the concept! However, the game difficulty is too hard to figure out what needs to be approved, declined, or reported. Aside from the obvious ones to be reported, the detailed ones are really hard to spot unless you are suspecious all the time. And the approve vs decline emails makes no sense. For example, there's one prompt where the person needs their cloud layers back so I approved it, but it needed to be declined, and then there was the same prompt that came up for another person that was supposed to be approved instead of declined.
I think what would help is a hint as to why the mistake was flagged a mistake to better understand what we're doing wrong. I'm at a loss to what is considered "approved" and "declined". I really want to recommend this game, but after multiple times of playing I cannot get past day 3 and I'm just frustrated with it.
