About Thank You For Your Application
Thank You For Your Application is an indie RPG‑simulation where you act as an interviewer for Aeropolis City’s largest corporation. Each day you sift through resumes, certificates and psychological reports, making acceptance or elimination decisions that affect applicants’ lives.
Beyond the office, you manage a bleak apartment, pay rent, browse forums and monitor your mental health. The game blends dark humour with multiple endings, exploring workplace discipline, unemployment shame and corporate discrimination.

Interview Process
Players review applicants’ resumes, internship certificates, graduation diplomas and psychological evaluation reports, matching each document against the company’s daily hiring requirements. The requirements shift constantly, forcing you to adapt your criteria each session.
Decisions are binary: accept the candidate or eliminate them, sometimes using an electric shock as a punitive option. Your choices directly influence the narrative and the fate of the characters.
- Keep an eye on changing requirements each day.
- Balance strict rule‑following with personal empathy.

Multiple endings arise from how you treat applicants and manage your own life, allowing players to side with capital rules or support workers, shaping the overall direction of the plot.
- Consider long‑term consequences of each decision.
- Explore different endings by varying your interview style.

Post‑Work Life
After each workday you return to a cramped apartment where you must pay rent, buy necessities and keep your mental state stable. Failure to pay rent can lead to homelessness, while a deteriorating mental state makes you ineligible for continued employment.
The game simulates everyday survival pressures, adding a layer of personal management that mirrors the corporate environment you navigate during interviews.
- Prioritize rent payments to avoid illegal overstayer status.
- Monitor mental health through in‑game cues.
