Thank You For Your Application, a narrative-driven interview simulation from IceLemonTea Studio and No More Robots, has reached an impressive milestone just hours after launch. The game managed to recover its full development costs in only 22 hours, a remarkable achievement for a team fresh out of university.
What makes this success even more notable is that it comes entirely from the game’s Steam debut, with console and mobile versions still planned for later this year. For a debut project, it signals a strong reception from players and a promising future for the developers.
Set in the sprawling city of Aeropolis, the game puts players in the role of a recent graduate who lands a rare job as an interviewer for the city’s largest corporation. The core experience revolves around reviewing resumes, verifying documents, and deciding who gets hired or rejected. From checking internship records to evaluating emotional stability reports, every decision carries weight.
The game also leans heavily into player choice, offering multiple story paths and endings shaped by your decisions. Whether you align with corporate interests or take a stand with the workers, the narrative adapts accordingly.
Beyond the office, players must manage daily life by paying rent, maintaining mental health, and spending their earnings within the city’s closed economy. It paints a subtle but sharp picture of corporate life, where even personal freedom feels limited.
For a first release, Thank You For Your Application not only delivers a unique concept but also proves that smaller teams can make a big impact in a short time. You can purchase the game for just $16.99 at a 15% launch discount until 3rd July.
