Brain Manager by Thoastbot
This is BRAIN MANAGER!

Managing your brain ain't as easy as you thought - every interaction give you new memories that fill your short term brain until there is no more space. You have to get the important stuff into your long term brain to get your life managed. Master all interaction, don't forget all your classes as there will be exams and try to attend events as they refill your energy and therefor your memory space. Be careful, bad interaction will make you sad and reduce your memory space! The longer you survive, the more can happen!
I guess you could call this game a "deck manager" game - i hope you enjoy playing it as much as i enjoyed making it! Made in html/css/js only, no libraries! Used Paint.net for graphics and looked on pixabay for the sounds.
DON'T READ THIS IF YOU LIKE THE EXPLORATIVE WAY OF LEARNING STRATEGIC GAMES AS THESE ARE SOME TIPS FOR PLAYING THE GAME!
At the end of the day one of your current memories transcends into your long term brain - except wildcards and dates. Friends always need to be interacted with with their name - or the wildcard that always succeeds. In school you can use an interaction card to get a new one and learn something - otherwise you only get an interaction card. Date Memories tell you about upcoming events and are needed to succeed the interaction when they occur, keep them or be ready with a wildcard! Exams require knowledge, in the top left you can see what the current 'question' is - that way you know what kind of knowledge you need!

Then after reading the tips everything made much more sense and got to the end of week 4.
Fits the theme, interesting concept and clear idea, great job
I enjoyed the game. Congrats!
I played it a lot of time, some things keep being mysterious to me, like how do you make more than 2 friends ? I have only two wilcards for friends names, I can't have John name in my memory :sob:
I think it would have been cool to display the time inside the day, and also highlight more the day changing. I was often lost in time x)
You said in the hints you can't have a date in long term but I had Tuesday inside for a while, I think it's a bug.
But very great idea, well done !
