I am also not sure which impact had which decision on the endresult. It would have been helpfull if there was some information displayed more clearly. I also didn't get why I couldn't do anything anymore on this day. It's a good little game but in my opinion the information given is to overwhelming.","likes":4,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Empyrean","author_uid":"1052410","time":"2019-04-30T01:14:59Z","epoch":1556586899,"modified":1556586906,"text":"@drskort Thank you for the feedback!

The textures weren't as interesting.\n\nI don't really think this is a very interesting concept and it isn't executed very well.
