Saturday NOBODY showed up at your house and started hitting on you. Yeah, pretty normal Saturday. :))

I married the clown a few times and also the Heartthrob, but he was worse than the clown to be honest.

Cool idea, would show up and play your game ;)

Oh dear, I didn't quite realise how insulting the "Nobody started hitting on you" line could sound when I was adding the text in... Thanks for playing!!

This is a pretty fun idea!  I haven't seen anything remotely like this from the jam, and I think it's a really clever spin on the theme.  I had quite a bit of fun reading the stories the game created for me, and I like the system for planning out your day with the little markers.  The only issue with the game is that it seemed a bit repetitive in terms of the options for how the story goes, although it would be difficult to create a lot of variety within the limited window of a jam.  If you ever decide to go back and add to it, it would be cool to have special events that are triggered whenever you go to a place at a particular time or when you go to places in a certain order.  Overall, well done with this game, and good job coming up with a clever idea!

Developer

Cheers! You're completely right, if I had had more time to work things out (or rather managed mine better) I would've loved to include special events depending on where you choose to visit. It gets a little repetitive for sure... Thanks so much for the detailed feedback!

Thank you! Sometimes that's how it goes...

I loved it, it was very unique. Very fun concept.

Developer

Thank you so much, I'm glad you found it fun! :)

Very unique game. Found it very interesting. At first I thought it had some leveling and stat building mechanics, but still very interesting. Great job!

Developer(+1)

Ah yeah, I would've loved to add a bit more strategy to the gameplay, that's the main thing I'm critical of myself! Thank you for appreciating it anyway!!

Had a small issue with moving the tokens in the day planner where you would occasionally  grab and move the whole screen by accident. 

Developer

oh god, i had no idea that could happen!
