Thanks for playing. Good feedback. I am acting on it, and will update this reply with what I did about it.

Every time I play a game like this, I feel like my brain is working at peak intelligence. It was really fun—thanks for the great experience.Feel free to check out other titles, too—and don't forget to leave a comment and cast a vote (at least five of them)!

Everything I like: lightweight, compact, and fun, and a Faulkner-like universe. 

Weirdly, a few charactets have become endearing enough for me to mourn them.

I am not familiar with AI-based games, but here it seems to be discrete, just enough to feed the flow of the stories.

A very interesting concept but it's not a really fun game to play. I think with some brainstorming this could be extremely interesting though.

Thanks for playing. This is my first attempt at an idle game. I know the style is not for everyone. "Progress Quest" was my inspiration.What would you add or change? Were there any things specifically you did not like?

I like the environment/the storytelling - but as a game there is no like "dopamine" chase happening for the player- I don't feel motivated to keep clicking anything, I don't know what is driving the story (the player) to do anything at all. Visually there is nothing to latch onto and the lack of audio also doesn't help. I wanna feel sucked in and that the environment is immersive. Adding those textures to a game can carry a lot. But the concept itself is really good.

I appreciate the feedback. It's helpful. I'll take a look at what can be done.
