Keepin' up with the Sams by chispaLBC
You've been working really hard this week, but at the cost of neglecting your relationship with your wife. As a reward for your good job, you have a week off, and you are going to use it to keep the flame of passion alive.
Just be careful not to neglect your own body.
Take care of your needs while you recover the relationship you had with your wife. Every once in a while, your wife will have a "mission" for you. This mission lasts 2 hours if you don't accept it.
It will cost some of your needs. Be careful, you will lose if any of them reach 0. You have 7 days to win.
How to play:
- Move with the arrow keys.
- Left click to interact with objects or wife.
- You can´t interact with an object that would make you lose.
- Your wife's missions are only available for 2 ingame hours.
- You only have 7 days to win.
Theme:
- You have to keep yourself alive
- You have to keep your relationship alive
- Heavily inspired by "The Urbz" or "The sims busting out"
We may have some odd english here and there as it's not our first language.
Have fun :)

I think I went a couple days without sleeping just talking with my wife for hours then running to eat and immediately go to the washroom and then eat again and shower and then more wife talking. Very frantic, but very good!
I thought it was especially clever how you used the background to communicate the game state.
Great direction for the theme, the art style was cohesive and interesting, and I loved the music choice! Great work all around.
Found the controls a little difficult.
Keep up the good work !
