Hi. I found the slow speed of text printing a bit of a block to playing your game. I suggest you make a new upload with the text printed much faster, or with a button to press to quickly output all remaining text on a page.
To make the text load faster, hold shift while clicking the green flag at the top of the page. If you do it correctly, "Turbo Mode" will show next to it and the text will load much faster.
This seems very interesting. It goes a bit ddeper than you see at first. Good take on the theme and may I say the music is awesome. If you made that yourself, kudo's! Glad I read about the text fix before I started :) Good ratings from me for sure.

Nice game :)
Turbo mode helps a lot. I suggest putting that information first in your description as there is just no way to play the game so slowly. There needs to be a button to press for next day or a countdown so you know how long. The day timer could also be a lot faster.
Interesting and complex but the timescale is too long. You might even do away with time entirely and just react immediately based on what the player does.
There might have been a bug after viewing the people and then pressing x because they were still being drawn (I was in turbo mode).
The music may have worked if it was played in the loony bin (if you could get that detailed). It's just a little too chaotic for this type of game. A calmer, or more serious track may work better.

It's interesting, But I found the game quite slow even with Turbo mode. For exemple, 10 seconds for reading emails is really long.
Otherwise, it looks clean. Good job on the game !

Interesting concept, nice that you can fasten the text. But I discovered this a bit late...
Pretty good, the text seemed a little slow to me but the game was quite good!.

Looks like a complex strageygame, but with all the plain menus it was a little overwhelming. How do I earn money/How much does the funding of programs cost etc... Took me till "It's a new year" pop-up to figure out it's realtime ;)Regarding your music-composition, if you don't know him yet, check out Frank Zappa! Maybe a step-by-step ingame tutorial would have been great!
Nice to see something made in Scratch, haven't seen much of it before! Interesting concept, not sure whether or not it's fun but interesting nonetheless!

Won't start either in IE10 or updated Firefox
@doomista I think it's probably a problem with your computer, as Scratch works on most browsers.
The concept is very interesting! Excelent work :D
