Thanks for trying out our game. There was a bug in this prototype for the game jam where the progress is equal to stress. So getting positive 100 stress is the way to victory. We since fixed that issue for our latest iteration and are even planning different mechanics for the upcoming demo.
So you are right, it is a skill issue, a developer skill issue! But thanks to your feedback and support we are leveling up our skills!
Thanks again for your feedback and trying out our game. It's amazing people like you that make game jams great and a worthwhile experience :D
