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.

Poor Sam! I felt for him!

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.

It took three play troughs to beat, but it was nice!

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!

Loved the proposal and the simple technology used in the game. Great idea.

A very good example of every day life.
Like this game!

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 ;-)

Really enjoyed it, Matt :)
