Due to curiosity, I ended up playing the game until receive the 'therapist ending'. Thank you. I reflect a lot on my issue inside the game. It's also given me new hope & method on how to tackle the world. :)
Such an amazing game. I am really glad I took the time to play it. Funny enough, I like to joke that everyone could use therapy, including me, and I felt this game gave me what I needed to hear. The therapy session at the end of the game summarized exactly how I feel.
The anxiety mechanic really showed me how debilitating negative thoughts can be. I got annoyed whenever he put himself down because it was always a setback in my plans. This made me realize how counterproductive being hard on myself is. And since I am so productivity obsessed, it only makes sense to stop negative thoughts.
Naturally, this is easier said than done, but I am going to try to counteract negative thoughts with positive ones. Because hey, I do deserve to be proud of my achievements. I do deserve to be happy with what I have. We all deserve happiness.
Thank you so much for making this game! I look forward to your future projects.
I am aware that the mood/anxiety/thoughts mechanics can make the game quite punishing, but it's a risk I was willing to take because there was a message to be delivered. I would say the peak of my satisfaction as a dev is knowing the message came accross in a meaningful way for someone. Your feedback made me happy!
I appreciated how you paid attention to details in a lot of aspects of the game, it's definitely great work.
The balance felt on point and i find hard to criticize any aspect of the game.
Got me curious about your future projects, thank you for doing this game !
Edit: After doing some research, i realized that i already played 2 of your other games and i have to say that with this one, you reached another lever.
I'm really glad you liked it! This is probably my boldest game, although much of its tough content is either hidden or later in the game. Maybe I hid it too well, because not many players have captured the subtext yet. Looking forward to hearing your opinion after you finish too!
This game is really fucking good. I love everything about it, the story, the vibe, the graphics. It's amazing.
The only thing that I think should be changed is difficulty, it's just the first month but paying billls is a big struggle. You can't go to clubs, go study, do anything because you don't have any money to do that.
I'm glad you like it! Well, that therapist's life is supposed to feel somewhat difficulty and struggling. But don't worry, you keep playing after you run out of money. Just more stressed. It's all about the choices.
You didn’t mark the platforms for the file you uploaded. In order for the game to work with our app you need to specify if the file is for Windows, Mac, etc. Hope that helps
Thanks a bunch for this fun LP, and also for helping this game get out of shadows. It's a somewhat slow game, so the first days are relatively "controversy-safe" hahaha! It gets more intense from day 7.
Wow, great memory! The soundtrack is not location specific, but one of the tracks is indeed from Parasyte the maxim. I loved it so much I had to use it.

when I try to download the game on the itch client there is no game to download.
That's odd. I just tested and it worked fine. Try again clicking normal download button. If it doesn't work, try other platforms like gamejolt.

Fixed. Thank you!
Gave it a little video detailing the first day (or two) of work and trying to remain Normal

Its gonna bug me, whats the OST I'm hearing in the car, it's definitely from an anime, Parasyte? Stein;Gate?
Wow, great memory! The soundtrack is not location specific, but one of the tracks is indeed from Parasyte the maxim. I loved it so much I had to use it.
Hah, good taste in music! Will be making a video soon :p
