There's loads of story and choices in this, kudos!

I loved the choices, the general vibe of the game and the overall experience! The only downside for me was that i was mathematically doomed to fail, and i had no objectifs or way to win.. but maybe that's the point!

Remind me of the stress of life, great job x) The art style and music were nice with each other, and we can feel that some choices seem to come from true life experiences. Gg!

Nice game bro

Fun game! I love the graphics a lot, the aesthetic is super good and pleasing to the eyes. It took me a while to understand how "recover" worked and couldn't get a "0" on mental... which perhaps was the goal. But I had a lot of fun cycling through all the possibilities, a very well-written game with a lot of creativity into it that is also a nice interpretation of the theme!

This game was pretty fun even though that wasn't what you were going for! Art style was amazing and I think it was perfect for this game!

@magic-mike indeed you're doomed, that's a life simulator XD Game is not balanced and there's no really objectives, I just didn't have the time to achieve it ^^

I love the concept, it's a nice interpretation of the theme! The aesthetic is pleasing and some choices were actually pretty hard to make. The music was very nice too

Cool, I like it

I enjoyed the game, despite how depressingly realistic of a portrayal of real life it is. I love the overall mood of the game, with the simple cutouts for people and the simple but pleasing music.

woah really cool portrayal of life!! and i love the graphics. I wish the text was easier to read and there were more sounds and maybe an indication to show you if you lost or gained any points in the different categories

This is one of my favorites so far. I love the artwork. Silhouettes were a great choice. The color palette is really attractive. Tons of good choices. It's also a game where the player instinctively understands the advantages and disadvantages of their choices while reinforcing a positive social theme. Find balance. Very nice work.

I love the art style and the music is pretty rad too, wish there was a loss screen or something though.

toxiccomputer 2021-10-06 17:19

The asthetic is really cool. Once I figured out what exactly was happening and how things effected one another, I must agree that the way you balanced stuff makes a great re enactment of how choices effect one's life. It also really shows how quickly you can ruin things. Fantastic innovation with this one!

Short game, but right to the point. Lots of different decisions that might be found in real life. For an introvert like me, who has troubles with choices, it was an interesting "seeing myself from outside" experience.

Really like this concept! Feel Like a lot of people can relate to balancing stress and anxiety with work and personal obligations. Also, shows what the player values most. Great work and congratulations!

Very nice idea for a game! Would love some endings (maybe multiple different, depending on what do you maximize) :slight_smile:

An interesting concept well executed - good job! :slight_smile:

Interesting concept. Sad it doesn't have endings, or at least a general ending when you lose instead of a simple reset.

And in the case of an only "lose" ending, maybe when all your points are depleted in each domain (it seems weird to me to reset when you neglect "only one part".

Graphics are nice, easy to differenciate. Music... Well I get used to it but at first it seemed too... present to me? It sounds like the ambient music which fades in the background, but at the same time it seems to be too noticeable.

So it looked more like of a demo than a full-fleshed game, but nice concept (and easy to play with the keyboard arrows).
