How does your game fit the theme?
The game is built entirely around a countdown system. Players receive a paycheck at fixed time intervals, and every decision must be made before the timer resets. At the same time, a separate countdown tracks inflation, increasing costs and pressure over time. This creates constant urgency, where managing money, happiness, and risk is all tied to timing and planning around these countdowns.

Hidden gem for sure, devs should continue to develop this game!
Being able to go minus and be happy is such a positive mindset. Great game
really nice art and music, you somehow made managing money an actually fun game
This is great! Super solid core gameplay loop.
Hidden gem right here! Love how random the narrative gets and makes you think of the best decisions to do with your money
