I really like how well it fits the theme, and the graphics that you worked with! On my first run I was softlocked but besides that I enjoyed the game :)

"I do not have money to go to hospital or pay taxes, the only choice I have is spending health to get a better job even though I am already unhealthy." Oh no, this is too real, lol. Very funny and interesting idea. I was locked because all three cards cost money which I don't have. It would be nice if there is an option for me to cry on my bed and do nothing that day(choose none of the cards). Overall a very fun game, good job.

I like it, I like how you can go from joining the mafia one week to working a little overtime the next, and I liked all the little flourishes on the cards. The difficulty seems to plateau (assuming you don't sell your soul) since the "new job" compounds. I got to day 150 and was making 50$ a day and nothing could really stop me.

Graphic were very well done. I feel like this game had a lot of thought put into it. Great entry!

Interesting entry! Got caught in a situation when I couldn't afford any of the cards and had to restart the game, maybe there should be a way to get out of this. In the long run it seems that always getting better jobs, bribing police & waiting for cheap or free hospital visits is the way to go, making holiday, gym & taxes cards kind of obsolete. Of course it's fine for a jam game to have balancing problem, so, good job :)

Well, I stopped my game on 126 day with 1000$ in my pocket Endless adventure:D Well done!

Amazing game concept.

Sadly, I got hit by the softlock issue where I ran out of possible options.

The card choice balance was conceptually nice but the balance seemed like it could use some tightening. Sometimes the relative prices for things swung wildly.

I wish the game had a soundtrack to set the mood more.

Easy to play and very intuitive, however. I had no usability or clarity issues, which is impressive for a jam game. Thanks for making this!

Nice game that plays around with numericals. I really liked the "selling your soul" option too.

Graphic is so good. Too much tax!

Interesting game, I ended up selling my soul, and some organs while I were at it, dying a slow, inevitable death in order to not have to worry about taxes. Nice
