This brings back interesting memories. I am former military, and coincidentally, I did an internship at a fashion company back in college. Fun times.

Anyway, it's time for day one at work. Your boss asks you for your name (I won't count that as a choice) and gives you a couple of rules before you start. Remember, do not hesitate.

As you are taken around, the game appears to be a largely linear IF. Still, like some other games I have played in the jam, the choices come from timed decisions. At some points in the game, you can agree to something, or you can... hesitate. If you hesitate, that option is lost, and a new option opens up instead.

Notice that I said 'points' earlier. After playing through a few times and unlocking all four endings, I'll mention that there are three points in the game where you can make a choice, either by clicking the option or letting the timer run out. (You hesitated!) You will see two of these on a single playthrough, as the first 'choice' takes you down one of a two-branch path with another choice each. The single choice rule of the jam is (to me) open to interpretation, so never say never. Still, I'm declining to leave a star rating as I'm not entirely sure if this fits.

The writing was solid and interesting, bringing back some old memories at the fashion company I worked in. Still, there were a couple of typos which I spotted in the game. You could probably finish all four endings in ten minutes or so once you know where the hesitation points are. It was an interesting read for me.
