I admit that at a certain point I let it run alone...
"Blinkenlichten - Studies show that progress indicators make time seem to go up to 10% faster."
I now really think that this is true.
Reminded me of "Cookie Clicker", except I enjoyed your game. It's certainly a realistic depiction of time-wasting. Speeding up time gave me a sense of achievement, and it was fun seeing what new stuff I could get.
The humour is probably the best part of the game. The suit guy's pitch was hilarious.
Possible technical issues? Sometimes time progression will slow down when you buy new items, without explanation. Also, sometimes the percentage at the top of the screen will show slowing, even though the stats in the text say it's been speeded up. Not sure whether this is a bug or just me being thick.
Thanks for wasting half an hour of my life! (Now, maybe I can get that Corinthian leather room...)
Also, typo check: I caught an "it's" that should be "its" at one point.
