Finally doing the alpha playtest! I can't speak to more technical aspects of gameplay, but my side gig is editing grammar and spelling for English (specifically USA English) audiences. I've found a few mistakes in the first five minutes, and thought it would be better to create a thread rather than spam the main chat.

#

TUTORIAL TEXT: Spelling error. "excactly" should be "exactly"

#

DESCRIPTION: ELECTRICAL ENGINEER: Grammar. I've never met a native English speaker who used the word "repairment." This would make more sense as "Electrical machines maintained by this person need to be repaired less often."

#

DESCRIPTION: SHOW-OFF - Grammar. Should be "Juggles and does tricks. Guests may find it impressive but tasks may take longer to complete." (Note: "take longer time" is not necessary; it should simply be "take longer")

#

DESCRIPTION: BAD TEMPER. Grammar. Correct to: "When failing a task or receiving a scolding, this person may have an outburst"

#

DESCRIPTION: ENERGETIC - Grammar. Recommend rephrasing as "Works more quickly, but needs more breaks."

#

DESCRIPTION: DENSE. Grammar. Correct to "May gain fewer experience points than normal", OR to "May gain less experience than normal"

#

DECRIPTION: Punching Bag. Correct to: "Handles guests complaints well. Angry guests gain happiness when talking to this worker" or "Angry guests become less angry when talking to this worker"

#

DESCRIPTION: Traumatized perfectionist. First, this is SO FUNNY. Instead of "goes on a temper tantrum," it should read "throws a temper tantrum"

#

DESCRIPTION: Plant proficient. Correct to: "This chef has a higher probability of creating exquisite dishes when the key ingredient is plant-based"

#

DESCRIPTION: Sofas / Chairs / Etc. Remove the "in"; it should be "A place for guests to relax, perhaps while having a drink or reading a paper."

#

DESCRIPTION: Trash can. Either correct to "Food waste and litter are..." OR revise to "Receptacle for food waste and garbage. When full, your cleaners will transport the bag to a dumpster."
