Indie Corner Episode 8: Pushing Loyal People

Pushing Loyal People: An In Depth Career Simulator or A Text Based Flop? Review By Steve T

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

So I'm back with another review and I have to say this is what's been clogging up my review schedule. I became totally addicted to this game! Pushing loyal people is best described as a sort of career advancement simulator. You're tasked with rising up through the ranks of your company and trying to avoid the always impending company restructure. 

So you start off as a random joe trying to build your prestige and company at the same time. When you begin the game you're given three options; Get to work, Highlight your team's contributions, and Trumpet the importance of your work. It's up to you on how you want to proceed, but keep in mind that each choice affects your overall performance for that fiscal quarter. Do you get to work and create value? Or do you go around telling people why you're important? The choice is yours, but there are right and wrong options. 

You're graded on your work performance at the end of every quarter and you need to keep a satisfactory grade or you'll be let go. Fortunately my time in business management helped me to make the right decisions and avoid termination, but I know it's possible to be dropped like a hot tamale. The game thankfully tracks how long

This is usually the time when I'd show you screen shots, but the game is entirely text based with no visual aids whatsoever. All you need is a basic reading ability and an appreciation for European humor. The game's on the short side as well, only taking about 30 or so minutes to crunch through, but it's an excellent time waster. I'm kinda scratching my head on why this isn't on ios or android. I'd love to play through this while on my lunch break!

So in conclusion I can honestly say this game is great, but I think what's holding it back is being on PC. This game was made for mobile devices and it clearly shows on my touch capable laptop. I'd also advise throwing in some pictures. A couple of stock photos of people in the office would really do wonders.

We at Shock Site give this game a 5 out of 5. It's one of the simplest we've covered, but one of the best!
