Everyday Misanthrope is a choose-your-own-misery simulation in which you gain catharsis from spreading everyday suffering.
Play time is 5-10 minutes.

Absolutely loved this! For the record I am a happy person and would never do any of the things in this, but I got to see what it was like and it was an interesting glimpse at a whole different way of living. Amazing work!
This nails the theme. Nails it right into the wall adjacent to the neighbor's newborn's room at midnight. I was trying to do the least awful thing and still ended up ruining so many lives. Very very well done.
I generally not like VN type games, but this was pretty good. Got me with the tokens going under.

Wow, really fascinating take on the theme. Found myself thinking, "I ruined two people's lives by leaving the faucet on in the bathroom, for the cost of only one misery token. Good return on investment!"
Nice interpretation of the theme. The sound, the graphical style and the overuse of the word misery really contributes to the mood. Really fun to play (but I feel a bit miserable now)
Being a slow driver in the left lane is truly messed up. Once I found out about the economy I was actually happier for it. -1 unhappy person? Muhahaha! Great work, and funny!
Interesting game. I included it in part 10 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/Jf2dZyQpNFE

I managed to ruin 67 people's lives, but got some tokens left at the end.
Awesome entry!
