This was actually pretty fun. More than halfway through (maybe around Day 20-ish?), I had a hundred coin and close to a hundred population, but I kept struggling with happiness (go figure). Then I had the genius idea to document how each choice impacted each stat. It was a lot easier to balance them when I didn't have to keep track of everything in my head. Unfortunately, once I got close to finishing the list (at least I think I was close...), I crested the hundred mark in every stat and the game ended. I didn't know when or if the game ended before, so now I have this long list that I spent far too much time on and barely got to use.
I have a personal obligation to keep playing this game over and over to justify the time and effort I put into this list. I will become the top speed-runner for this game. Two categories: Fastest time, and fewest days. There's almost undoubtedly no demand or competition for speed-running this game from 2016, but I'm going to do it anyway. Not right now, though. Later. Maybe I'll update this review/comment every time I get a personal best. If only I paid attention to how many days it took this time... Maybe that's for the best, though. I was really bad. It was over thirteen days. I only know that much because that was the only time I looked at the day counter, and that was well before starting the list.
I'm lucky this game is actually fun...
