Mathbrush reviews IFComp 2025 (Latest: Monkeys and Car Keys, done for now)

Thank you so much for your review and for taking the time to play A Day in a Hell Corp and share it on the forum.
As for the different areas, I chose not to link them together so they could be played in any order, without restrictions.
The game exists in two versions, Italian and English. For the English one—especially for content related to local products—I had help from a native speaker who lived in California for many years. For me, it was also a way to relive memories from my younger days in San José, San Francisco, and other places. In some parts, I preferred to have it reviewed by a native speaker to make it flow more smoothly.
I’ve participated in the past, and once again, it’s been a really enjoyable experience.
And yes… the game is kind of a parody (a slightly exaggerated one!) of my work environment: orcs, devils, and other creatures are metaphors for the “types” of people I have the pleasure… ahem… of spending my days with—especially the boss! :smiling_face_with_horns: .

P.S. As for desserts, there’s a saying we have back home — I’m not sure of the exact translation in English — but it’s something like: “Non è tutt’or quel che luccica!”, 'All that glitters is not gold.’
