Apologize to Your Boss at the Correct Distance!

Have you ever made a mistake at work? Of course, we all have! But what’s the right thing to do when you mess up? Should you report it honestly? Hide it from everyone? Or maybe even convince yourself that you didn’t make a mistake? Unfortunately, none of these options are quite right. The truth is, in the real world, the best response to making a mistake is often something much simpler—and more humbling: dogeza.

What exactly is dogeza? For those unfamiliar, it’s a traditional Japanese act of apology where someone kneels on the floor and bows deeply to show respect and remorse. While this practice may sound outdated or overly formal today, there’s something undeniably satisfying about imagining yourself fully embracing humility—especially after a tough day at the office. Unfortunately, most of us can’t bring ourselves to actually drop to our knees in front of our bosses due to pride (or fear). That’s why we created Dogeza Slider, a delightful mobile game designed just for you.

In Dogeza Slider, you’ll take on the role of an overworked employee who needs to apologize to their demanding boss. Sounds easy enough, right? Wrong! The key to success lies in mastering the art of timing and positioning. You see, simply bowing isn’t enough; you need to approach your boss from the perfect distance. Too far, and they won’t hear your apology. Too close, and well... let’s just say your boss might not react kindly to such audacity. It’s all about finding that sweet spot where both parties feel comfortable enough to move past the awkwardness.

So how does it work? As a full-time employee in this quirky simulation, you start by sliding across the screen toward your superior. Using simple swiping gestures, guide your character closer until you reach the ideal distance for dogeza. Once positioned correctly, perform your grand gesture of contrition while hoping against hope that your boss grants forgiveness. Each attempt earns you points based on how well you judged the situation, encouraging players to refine their skills through repeated playthroughs.

But wait—there’s more! Beyond its humorous premise, Dogeza Slider offers a lighthearted escape from reality. No matter how stressful your actual job might be, here you can indulge in fantasies of submitting to authority without consequence. Whether you’re dealing with unreasonable deadlines, micromanaging managers, or just general workplace chaos, this app provides a safe outlet for venting frustrations while laughing at absurdity itself.

Of course, remember one important rule before diving into Dogeza Slider: You don’t need to take everything too seriously. This isn’t meant to reflect real-life interactions with difficult colleagues or employers—it’s purely for entertainment purposes. So go ahead, give it a try, and see if you can earn bragging rights among friends for being the ultimate master of apologies. After all, sometimes we all need a little reminder that even the toughest situations can be solved with a bit of humor—and perhaps a generous helping of self-deprecation.
