Day 1 taught me the lesson in the books screen: 7 check-ins at $70 and a night profit of exactly $0, with the note that even a full house at that price cannot beat the $630 in bills. Loved that the game tells you the math instead of hiding it. I raised the rate to $80, bought the vending machine, and on Day 2 a pipe burst above Room 4. I chose Fix it yourself, the tape gave up, Rooms 4 and 5 became aquariums, and the Gazette ran "DIY plumbing attempt creates two aquariums, zero fish". That line alone sold me. The bar showing what share of drivers will pay your rate is a really clear lever. Lovely pixel art and neon.
