Aside from whether HRS reflects "real life" or not, it's not much of a game. It's more like a test than a game, and more like a rant than a test. I can't really say I found it fun, though it certainly did provoke a strong reaction from me. I guess that in all honesty, I'd have to say that I really disliked being subjected to both the rant and the test. The game makes me glad I'm not looking for a job right now, but it makes me even more glad that I'm not looking for an employee.

I think the author was quite brave, trying a different format, and applying the genre in a different way. I don't think it deserved to come last.

There are some kind things I can say about this game. The first is that it works and has no spelling mistakes that I found. Another is that it could be described as an adventure game reduced to its elementary form; a series of choices that have to be correctly chosen to proceed to the completion of the game.
The last kind thing I will say is that the game can be described as a "failed experiment," one of those novel ideas that just don't work.
