Thank You For Your Application has recouped its development costs in just 22 hours. The narrative-driven interview simulator is the brainchild of IceLemonTea Studio, a cohort of young developers fresh out of university.
Publisher No More Robots shared the news and told Game Developer the title had a five-figure budget including development costs, localization, and marketing.
“Production started in January 2025. It was due to release at the start of this year but we pushed it back a little when we realized how big it was going to be, so that we could polish the crap out of it,” said No More Robots founder Mike Rose.
“I’ve said this many, many times before, but larger budgets and longer schedules do not lead to better games, and the industry as a whole really needs to finally learn that lesson.”
Thank You For Your Application launched on Steam and is slated to arrive on consoles and mobile later this year. It debuted on the PC storefront with a 15 percent introductory discount, lowing the price of admission to £12.74 from £14.99.
No More Robots previously revealed the project had amassed over 135,000 wishlists on Steam prior to launch.
