I don’t like not giving jam games their full run time, but the gameplay loop in this was very slow and repetitive. I got to the second location before getting soft-locked because I ran out of hunger and money. I didn’t want to sit through the same cutscenes another dozen times so I stopped there.
The concept is nice, and it feels like the sort of story that would have quite a fun ending, but I couldn’t sit through the first area again. Increasing the gold rewards from jobs would probably help a lot in cutting down the monotony.
Second location is currently where the game ends, after you go searching in town a lot, so you at least didn’t really miss a lot.
I do agree it’s kind of strict to manage, especially since all my stats/cash were in a pretty bad place when I arrived, but I did end up getting through it thanks to the bug that didn’t consume actions when resting. Part of it is cause the fruit picking job gave you money and minorly increased all your bars was a really nice safety net, which got replaced by the theatre which was pretty expensive and only increased your happiness. Maybe there should be a dairy farm outside the city walls or something that functions in a similar way.
I do kinda wish there was a way to skip for the waiter walking to the kitchen and then walking back every time you eat, cause that ends up eating a lot of time while playing.
Overall I loved the concept and I’m really looking forward to where this ends up
