Needs a little bit of resizing the itch.io window to fully fit the game.
Heavily reminiscent of a-dark-room or candybox1/2 just from the ascii alone, but it's definitely a completely different genre of game.
Very nice!

Just wanted to give some feedback:
Sapping Technique appears to only apply the first time you go to the jobs, and it stops working every time after (which kind-of softlocks the game, you don't have any way to make faster ichor and have to idle it with the passive gain).
Cybernetic upgrades to ichor gain also awkwardly require the sapping technique, so buying them out of the intended order might also cause glitches.
I think it's because Sapping doesn't give ichor when your money is in the negative, which happens extremely quickly because of how fast the drain is, and since you're then stuck with Seminar until you get the Branch Manager upgrade it's really easy for it to become completely unmanageable. I think just not letting money go into negative would probably solve it?
