About Job Hunting
Job Hunting is a PC-exclusive platformer from Benbu that channels PS1-era aesthetics into a chaotic corporate horror-comedy. You play a job seeker fleeing a sentient job application through glitchy office ruins and surreal corporate purgatories. Released October 20, 2025, it’s a single-player sprint where parkour and grapple mechanics let you dodge the titular stalker. The premise is absurd but intentional: you’re racing to reclaim your resume fragments while avoiding permanent “hiring.” It’s a short but frantic experience, blending platforming skill with dark humor about modern work culture.
Gameplay
You spend most sessions wall-running, grapple-jumping, and backflipping through collapsing office spaces while a glitchy, sentient job application chases you. The core loop involves collecting resume pieces scattered in environments that shift between abandoned cubicles and Lovecraftian corporate labyrinths. Each level forces you to balance speed with precision, missing a platform means respawning and losing progress. The grapple hook is essential for crossing gaps and evading the job application’s teleporting sprints. Combat is minimal; survival hinges on momentum and memorizing level layouts. The controls are tight but punishing, rewarding quick reflexes over strategy.
What Players Think
Job Hunting holds a 4.3/5 average on PlayPile, with 89% of players completing it. Most sessions last 6 hours 23 minutes, though 22% of players report over 10 hours stuck on late-game levels. Community moods skew anxious (68%) and amused (52%), with relieved players (31%) celebrating post-completion. One review calls it “the most stressful 6 hours of my life, but I couldn’t stop.” Critics praise its “nail-biting platforming” but note repetitive level design. Achievement completion sits at 127 total, with 72% of players unlocking over 80%.
PlayPile's Take
Job Hunting is a niche pick for fans of high-stakes platformers and workplace satire. At $24.99, it’s a low-risk buy if you enjoy punishing but fair mechanics. The 6-hour average playtime and 89% completion rate suggest it’s more of a short, intense ride than a long-term investment. Skip if you hate permadeath or repetitive environments. But if you want to relive PS1-era tension with a modern corporate twist, its 127 achievements and chaotic charm make it worth a shot.
