I try to play your game, but I could barely understand what to do. Feeded my people, had joy to them, explored things... and suddenly, a crash at "friendship.lua" line 20, rando field was null.
A really nice little game, I was looking forward to play it when you showed your progress in the chat. The visuals are very clean, I like that. Unfortunately there seems to be something wrong with the randomizer when go exploring as the game sometimes throws an error when going on an adventure (see PERECil's comment)
The square in the corner of the dialog seems like a close button but it's not. I like the tutorial at the start, maybe you could also teach about selecting options because the dialog with options looks like normal display text. It took me a second before I tried to interact.
I really like this take on the theme.
The gameplay seemed a little too random or I'm missing something. I would have liked to be able to recover from losing joy but often the round after I would lose the game. Being able to respond appropriately to each even would help a lot.
Like Crefossus already mentioned, the gameplay felt somewhat random. I think the stats should also be readily visible, instead of being hidden behind a menu :(. Definitely got a tamagotchi vibe from this one!
