If you are frustrated with the minigames, I recommend checking out the cheats in the Discord.
That is amazing that you thought of a way around it. It was fun but the "fat fingering" the "roll her over button" when my intention of clicking a button. Just for the metter to spike and she wakes up. Just to reset the entire night over agian.
When the game loads in and she's laying on her back. Was the easier method. When she laid on her stomach i found it had a higher chance of happening again. Which isn't the game just mainly user error on my end.
