You're a new employee at a remote only job. You must find out which handles match which employees in the company chat program.

Part of the Case of the Thinky GameJam.  Will try polish it a bit more before the jam ends, but in case I don't here it is.

You might enjoy this if you liked Return of the Obra Dinn.

i'm stuck after finding potato, thefitz, and dinodaz! i've tried as many combos as i can think of T_T

You can see the solution and thinking here if you are stuck, let me know what you think 

Super fun quick game! It felt sooo realistic and actually made me think!!

I accidentally* (on purpose) filled in the entire chat screen with daboss so cannot access chats with anyone else and was unable to complete the game.

I think I'll really fit in with this company!

Oh neat, I didn't realise you could do that

Love it! Fun and very close to reality! :D

Thanks so much!

I liked the game! I had trouble scrolling down when revisiting messages though.

Thanks! Yes, I wasn't happy with how I did it and I'll be looking at fixing that

Nice, short but effective mystery. Missed an obvious clue for a bit but solved it in the end. I guess if you wanted to expand the concept, you could employ other social media chat elements—clues in profile pictures, maybe?

Thanks so much. I wanted to add a profile pic clue but my time was so limited and only started late. I'm keen to expand it though.

Yes, I enjoyed solving this. All the clues were there and presented at a good pace. Can see the Obra Dinn influence too!

Thanks so much! After the game jam I hope to add some more employees to solve
