Regret to Inform

Regret to Inform is a game about finding reasons to reject job candidates. In a world where companies can no longer risk damage to their reputations, Despair Inc. specializes in rejecting applicants.

Review candidates

Each case asks you to review a job description, compare it with the candidate’s resume, identify inconsistencies and choose a rejection reason. You then send an email with your regrets.

Handle anomalies

During each workday, anomalies may interfere with your ability to process information. Text can become unreadable or misleading, visual noise can obscure details, and audio disturbances can distract or disorient you. Their behaviors are documented, though not always easy to follow. Multiple anomalies may occur in one day, but each candidate is affected by only one at a time.

Follow directives

Directives are special rules that apply throughout the day but affect only specific cases. They can require you to override an otherwise correct answer, making a valid rejection incorrect under the directive.
