The happiness meter was a nice addition.

I liked how the whole thing flowed. At first I was annoyed that my happiness meter would be so wildly affected by something as simple as opening an email and I had no way of knowing beforehand what it would do. But then I realized that is like life.

I only played through the game once and Sam had the worst day of her life. I thought about playing through it again, but worry that trying to maximize my "happiness score" sort of ruins the statement, so I didn't.

I really, really like this game! It's really clever, I did horribly, but it's really clever.

I wish happiness were as easy as just clicking "Turn off the alarm and get up" in the morning.

Deep. I was doing so well in the morning but once I got to work everything went downhill...

It's really cool, I also try do the same in my life but it's hard!

Pretty fun and accurate. Also the little animation bar is great!

The UI is perfect for this short choose-your-own-adventure text game. It also has some good replay-value to it as well! I play through three times and discovered something new each time. Good job!

I really like the style and happiness meter. That is a nice idea and the narrative is well executed.

OK, now this is different. Some sort of simulator/visual novel variation. Simple and effective, I like it.

Liked this alot. It was well written and kept me playing to the end. In the end Sam had a fantastic day and I had a fantastic time playing!

Fine idea, something completely different from a lot of other games. Don't mind the critics from your dad ;-)
