From the notes, the diary/biography layer seems a useful way to make residents memorable beyond their jobs. One thing I would check in the new overview: can a player distinguish “nothing known” from “known healthy” without relying on green alone? A small symbol or label alongside the colour could make that distinction easier to read.

For the couples and quarrels, does the diary explain what caused the change, or only record that it happened? Seeing the cause would help me understand the person rather than treat the relationship as another status meter. I have not played this version; these are questions from the update description.

Thanks, these are good questions.

Dots: Right now green covers both “nothing known” and “tested and looked healthy”. Yellow and red already have their own shapes (rounded square with “?” and diamond with “!”), but green is just a plain circle. A small checkmark or a label for “examined, nothing found” would make the difference visible without relying on colour. I’m noting that down.

Diary: At the moment it only records that something happened (“fell in love with X”, “had a row with X”, “broke up with X”), not why. I agree that showing the cause would make the relationships feel like part of a person instead of another status meter. That’s something i’d like to look at for a later version, but I can’t promise it yet.
