Love the art style and the vibe, got a little confused how some things worked when i felt like i wass definitely choosing the right skill and failed even with a +3, very fun but some things are not very well explained

Really fun although some times I feel like I was picking the right skill and even with a +7 it would still say "skill level is not high enough" but overall really good game

Love the game, great writing, great concept, love how you used the theme here. It's really impressive how much you managed to do with the given time with just the two of you, full dialogue and sounds and cool coherent aesthetics in multiple environments? Plus the random sequencing of encounters combined with the progression of the story? Nuts.

I think the game is too punishing, as others mentioned some skill requirements can be high and the consequences of failing once can lead to a downward spiral where you lose everything, even if you chose correctly. To an extent this is always the case with RNG but here specifically it feels pretty unfair. Another small gripe is that you always have two options to choose between when going to a new location, even when that location and interaction is the same. I think in that case you can just make it one button in the middle.

This was delightful, Agree that it would be helpful to know better what the benchmarks are and I wish you didn't have to trash good stuff for new 1 point items but I get that that's part of the limited space. Overall, super fun and charming.

The best way to use "limited brain space" -concept. This is literally me trying to live my life out there and trying to use intelligence to win in lottery (someday it will totally happen). Art style is neat and works well with its comic like logic, all the events are also reaaally funny
