One of my favorite interactions was a co-worker handing me a letter and asking if I can take it to another co-worker. Sounded reasonable, so I agreed and didn't say No! Then he said it was the person literally 12 feet away. Hm. I've been tricked, I thought. But after I handed the other person the letter, it turned out to be a love letter between spouses. You subverted my expectations in a clever way, game. That was adorable.

Last January I quit my job and promised myself I will never work as an employee again. I'm 41, I've been working half my life, and even more if we count family business. I have never had a caring boss, although only one time, for two years, I had three bosses (my immediate boss, the coordinator of the area which was her boss as well as mine, and the director of the institution) who were good people and respected my work. It was in a government institution and I worked directly with young guys and gals (between 17 and 29). When a new government came, I was fired. Other that that, every job has been the same as you describe. It's frustrating. Even when you can say "no" on a regular basis (I learned to do it early on), the job doesn't improve. I want a version of this game but with Doom mechanics and a mod where all the monsters have my last boss' face. Oh, wow! Now I understand why I've been playing Doom for 25 years. Thank you. I now know I made the right thing when I quit that 7-year old job that was destroying my soul.

If you haven't played it, I think you would really resonate with Smile For Me, it definitely plays the sinister hand harder than Katamari or Wattam does, but it's a similarly charming and weird game about the cycles of negativity.

I know this was a simpler/smaller project, but it might be my favourite video of yours so far? And that's not to understate the quality of your previous releases, I think this one just resonated with me on a more personal level. I often feel like I just can't say no to offers that I know are potentially harmful, either because I genuinely get too excited about them to turn them down or because I fear consequences like losing customers, getting bad reviews, not living up to expectations etc. These rare occasions lead to an endless spiral of overwork and burnout and I need to get rid of them in order to end this chaos.. and the worst thing about it is that I do realize what is happening, it's just that I am too powerless to say anything. Your video makes me feel seen which I don't get too often as I'm usually surrounded by people who want something from me, and don't really care about my feelings, especially now during the pandemic. Even though it's a negative experience of yours that I can relate to so well, I'm very glad you shared it because just by listening to your story, I feel like I'm one step closer to learning to say no to these people myself every now and then. So, thank you!

I can relate to struggling to say no at work. I was perhaps a little more lazy than you and DID say no, but always felt an immense guilt afterwards cause I hated letting people down. Even so I've come to realize that you have to look out for yourself in situations like this and help where you can without it being a detriment to your health

A really nice video once again. Goodness knows how many games I was a bit unsure about playing because they looked weird. Now I live for such art styles [especially if they're really surreal] while being combined with really good soundscapes and good storytelling. I've only played a bit of the Katamari games and this is the first I've heard of Say No More which I can play on my long journey of indie titles.

It's weird, I've never thought about titles this way. Sometimes it's just a name or other times it just describes what you do in the game, I've never dug any deeper than that but I might start to after watching this. I really love the aesthetics of these games, but especially so in Say No! More for some reason. It's also really hillarious how the game captures that feeling of actually saying no to something you don't want to do, at least that's the feeling I get from just watching these short clips. I might have to go buy the game and play it over the weekend!

This comes as an extremely uplifting video for someone who’s essentially had to deal with a workplace and habits where I’ve been allotted very little liberty to care for myself, first, before that of the workplace or auxiliary concerns. Thank you for highlighting the very careful balance we must confront each day in the face of our mental health while still shedding light on previously overlooked narrative heft in otherwise zany titles. It helps that, although “Say No! More” carries with it a double meaning, so does your process of finding extra meaning in these games paired with the closing monologue from the game where we are told to seek better solutions and demand greater treatment in our own lives as well as society. Anyway, fantastic video as always Maria!

Here I am for the one video essay I comment on per year, lmao. I have never heard of “Say No! More,” but from what you shown, it has definitely convinced me to check it out. I have been apart of the customer service industry since I was a young girl, more specifically, the food service industry. Though it isn’t an unpaid internship, most of the jobs in this sector are unfortunately miserable and most corporations teach you to just say “Yes” whenever a customer has an issue. It is all very fake and performative, and to top it off, the customers tend to be incredibly rude and will take advantage of you. This can also extend to your employer and management, making everything suck complete donkey ass. The thing is, my parents were my boss for most of my life. My parents truly do not believe the phrase “The customer is always correct” exists; and they’re right. They would never cave to shit customer demands, especially when they clearly were trying to get free food for no real reason. However, my parents were really tough on the employees, and as you can imagine, they were really tough to me. We were expected to go above and beyond, despite none of us being paid particularly well. The only upside was that promotions were very common, so if you stuck out and did your job, you were given better pay. Eventually, they retired and I met the new boss when I turned 18. It became my full-time job even though I had also began college not long after. That damn place took over my life because I felt the pressure and need to do everything since no one else was (while also being the lowest paid manager there). Eventually, my college grades collapsed and I felt horrid. My boss kept being ass with requests he was asking and I decided that enough was enough after he thought that personally insulting me would put me in my place. Since then, I’ve learned to create boundaries with my workplaces and employers, aka, saying “No” more. Great video Maria! Hope your move has been going (relatively) smoothly and that Mochi is doing well! We’re all excited to see your stuff in the future.

Yeah, food service sucks ass. I mean, surely there are good restaurants with actual nice employers that aren't just very convincing actors.. Anyway the cafe I worked at for 2 months is known as the best, chillest place in my town and I regret ever applying for a job there cause I cannot just go back as a customer and just enjoy whatever they have to offer cause they absolutely demolished my self-confidence as an employee and talked to me in the most degrading ways.. For 2 months, I was stupid enough to blind out the bullying, racism and sexism because I really wanted to enjoy my time there and "become part of the team", but thank god I eventually got away from there cause it's one the most toxic places I've ever been to. Since then, I've grown to appreciate workers in the industry more because honestly, even if the people are cool, food service is very stressful and employees have to endure sooo much shit and most of them aren't in the priviliged situation to simply break away from these toxic workplaces because they need the job to feed their families.

Its a fun game with fun first and foremost with moments of reflection, but it didnt have enough for me for the second to second gameplay loop. I found Death Stranding gameplay alone to be more involving. But Im glad Wattam exists.
